A scan of one of my oldest photos.
On this day a squadron exchange started between Canadian F-104s from Germany and F-15s of the 32nd TFS. Eight Starfighters arrived and taxied by. A few were still in the old 'olive drab' camouflage.
104658 went to the Turkish Air Force, survived and retuned to Canada. It's now preserved in Turkish AF colours in the Canadian Air Land Sea Museum in Markham (Ontario).

Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Stephan Barth:
The Canadian Armed Forces operated two DHC-7s between August 1979 and August 1985; they were based at Lahr in Germany. After six years of military service, aircraft c/n 12 was operated by Markair (N678MA), Conair and Trans Capital as C-FWYU. The last movement was noted in April 2017, when the aircraft returned to Toronto City airport after an assignment to the United Nations.

As per an official government website:
The CH-124 Sea King is a ship borne maritime helicopter with unique capabilities. The aircraft’s compact design boasts a fold-up rotor and tail that help it to fit on even the smallest warship’s deck. Its amphibious hull enables it to conduct an emergency water landing.
The CH-124 is powered by two turboshaft engines and is equipped with subsurface acoustic detection equipment and homing torpedoes. Employing these, the Sea King lifts off from destroyers and frigates to locate and destroy submarines.
Capable of flying in day or night, the CH-124 is a versatile surveillance aircraft. It was procured mainly for anti-submarine warfare (ASW), but has expanded its role since coming into service in 1963.
423 Squadron was part of 12 Wing Shearwater in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

They have since been replaced by CH-148 Cyclone helicopters.

Soldiers of the Ceremonial Guard come from many CAF (Canadian Armed Forces) units across the country, with the Guard continuing the individual traditions of Canada’s two Foot Guards regiments — The Governor General’s Foot Guards (GGFG) and the Canadian Grenadier Guards (CGG). Both units wear the bearskin hat, which was first adopted by the United Kingdom Grenadier Guards after the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 and later adopted by all Guards Regiments in 1831. The regiments are easily discernable by the coloured plume in the bearskin hat: red for Foot Guards and white for Grenadier Guards. All of the bearskin hats worn by the Ceremonial Guard are more than 20 years old and are well-maintained from the thorough care they have received over the decades.
