Mate, we all have some formative experiences in our lives, that we'll never forget.
I know I've sure had a few - and they do make great yarns to relate to a good audience, too!
BTW, dunno if the CAC Sabres served in Korea, offhand. I do know that the RAAF's DH Vampires [quad 20mm Hispano cannon armament] did serve there. So did their Gloster Meteors; identical gun armament.
Temora Museum's Meteor wears the RAAF squadron number and 'Halestorm' livery of the late George Hale, who flew an RAAF Gloster Meteor F8 in Korea.
