Two of its runways remain in use by members of the Experimental Aircraft Association.[https://web.archive.org/web/20100601051151/http://www.militarybruce.com/history/base-history_14.html] World War IIThe aerodrome opened during World War II in 1940 under the auspices of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan (BCATP); it was intended to serve as a relief landing field for No. 9 Service Flying Training School, which was located at nearby RCAF Station Summerside. In September 1943, RCAF Station Mount Pleasant evolved from a relief field to a full training facility when it began hosting No. 10 Bombing and Gunnery School (B&GS)[1] . Aircraft used for this training include the Avro Anson, Fairey Battle, Bristol Bolingbroke and Westland Lysander. No. 10 B&GS ceased operation in June 1945. The airfield was used as a storage depot for a short time before being decommissioned by the RCAF in 1947. Aerodrome informationThe airfield was constructed in the typical BCATP wartime pattern, with runways formed in a triangle. In approximately 1942 the aerodrome was listed at {{coord|46|36|N|64|00|W|region:CA-PEI}} with a Var. 25 degrees W and elevation of {{Convert|110|ft|0}}. Three runways were listed as follows:[2]
