Default observers in the RCN Air Arm

Hi there guys

I read in a Canadian article that the last RCN Observers course finished in September 1956 and that the Observer Branch was to be abolished. However, some of the aircraft/helicopters required navigators (observers) in the 1960s. Was he Observer Branch ever reinstated? I know that after 1968 the observers would no longer be required with CAF doing the Navy's flying but did they completely finish in 1956, or did the observers continue but without any new blood entering their branch?

Kind regards

Doug
