This Local was chartered in 1941. The name of the lodge is Spitfire Lodge Local 741. It was named after the Spitfire fighter that was made by McDonald Aerospace, the predecessor of Magellan Aerospace. The members of this lodge currently make air to ground missiles , drones and the Black Brant sub-orbital rocket for Canada, United States, Britain, Australia and other countries.

This lodge was once part of the Winnipeg plant group and totalled 1000 members in the 1970’s, but in early 1972-1973 they broke away  from the Winnipeg plant, when the Winnipeg members wanted to de-certify and form IAM LL 741.

This lodge chose to remain Machinists even though their numbers were small approx 20 members because they knew the benefit of remaining true to their origin, the strength of the international union is insurmountable, just like when their founding fathers of 19 machinists  in a railway pit stood united, so did the Stony Mountain group.
