	# 1 July 4, 1983: Taken from an altitude of 2,600 feet, this is the upper portion of HMCS Inuvik showing the Pusher antenna (inner and outer circles) and an unidentified "inverted vee" access road below it. North is roughly at the top of the photo as is the same for the remaining photos. (National Air Photo Library Image A26358-65)
	#2 Pusher Antenna Close-up: Note that the electronics shelter in the inner circle of the Pusher antenna is not in dead centre but offset towards the two o'clock position. Also, the outer circle has a corresponding bulge between the 1 and 4 o'clock positions. Something happened here early on. Perhaps the antenna didn't perform to expectations so an adjustment was made?? The original outer circle is easily seen for comparison. That's a significant offset!  Circled in red is a very small shelter found at the 10 o'clock position on the outer circle. What is it? (Part of National Air Photo Library Image A26358-65)
	#3 July 4, 1983: Taken from an altitude of 2,600 feet, this is the lower portion of HMCS Inuvik showing the cross-shaped Operations Building and an oval-shaped access road to its right. In the upper right section of the photo is diamond-shaped clearing. What was in this area? (National Air Photo Library Image A26358-64)
	#4 Operations Building Close-up:  Inuvik's log periodic antenna was located to the right of the Ops Building. Some masts have been identified around here but no specific antenna type can be rendered from the evidence at hand. (Part of National Air Photo Library Image A26358-64)

# 5 Close-up view of the Pusher electronics shelter within the 50 metre diameter clearing. Those radials are the antenna coax conduits. Since they are exactly 15° apart as measured, that indicates there are 24 antennae in both the inner and outer circles. The offset of the electronics shelter is clearly illustrated here. Note that the vegetation has already grown back in  from around the 12 to 3 o'clock positions by 1983. (Part of National Air Photo Library Image A26358-65)

#6 After Inuvik was closed down, the inner circle of  the Pusher antenna was put to some other use as shown in this 2006 satellite photo. It is believed that the large structure  to the left of the Pusher equipment shelter is a natural gas pumping station.   (Image courtesy Google Maps)

#7.  A high resolution scan of this area reveals nothing more than some random masts around the area marked with an X. What was in this area? Eric Earle believes that the vee shaped road led to the GRD 501 hut. It is known that the GRD 501 antennas were located to the NE and  ENE of the Ops building. The maximum distance from the GRD hut to the antenna is believed to be 1,000 feet.   If anyone can confirm, please contact : jerry.proc@sympatico.ca  (Part of National Air Photo Library Image A26358-65)
