Displaying the bomb markings from a long campaign over Libya, this RCAF 409 Squadron Hornet sits idle for a short rest.
This day before Canada's Remembrance Day, and I find myself near 8 Wing (CFB Trenton). I've stopped to see the memorial to the 158 Canadian soldiers, killed in Afghanistan, who transited through Trenton on their way to the morgue in Toronto. Then onward to their final resting places - all across Canada.
The black maple leaf, with the fissure, gives form to the loss the family suffers. On the back of this are inscribed the 158 names of Canada's fallen soldiers in Afghanistan.

A Leopard 2A6M Main Battle Tank from The Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) and part of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group, provides over-watch during recent operations in the volatile Panjwa’i and Zhari Districts of Kandahar Province. The sheer size and firepower of the Leopard 2A6M Main Battle Tank makes it a formidable force and a huge deterrent to enemy insurgents.
Un char de combat principal Leopard 2A6M du Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) et qui fait partie du groupement tactique du 1er Bataillon, The Royal Canadian Regiment, assure la surveillance lors d’opérations récentes dans les districts instables de Panjwayi et de Zhari, dans la province de Kandahar. La taille imposante et la puissance de feu du char de combat principal Leopard 2A6M le rendent un outil impressionnant et un moyen de dissuasion important contre les insurgés.

An RCAF piper (Sgt Brown) plays the "piper's lament' as part of Commemoration of the Battle of the Atlantic ceremony on Parliament Hill today. The Ottawa ceremony is normally held in front of the National War Memorial, but since it is undergoing renovations, it was moved to the hill. The Centennial Flame added an ethereal touch to almost any solemn occasion.
Not to give a history lesson, but for those wondering what all the fuss is about; the Battle of the Atlantic lasted 2,075 days and would saw the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) escort 25,343 merchant vessels across the North Atlantic. Near constantly beset by some of the worst weather and determined wolf packs of the Kriegsmarine. These cargo carried by these vessels was the equivalent of eleven lines of freight cars - if each one of them stretched from Vancouver to Halifax. 90,000 tons arrived in Britain daily. When it was all over the RCN had captured or destroyed 42 enemy surface ships, and directly, or assisted with, the sinking of 33 enemy submarines. This came at the high cost of thirty-three RCN warships with a further five damaged beyond repair. In total 1,990 sailors were killed, 319 wounded and 95 became POWs.
Times have changed, but the Canada (and indeed Europe) of today would be much different were it not for their service. Not to say that war is ever a good thing. I'm a big fan in the democratic process and not sending folks into harms way - and likely to harm someone else - unless the case has been made that all other avenues have failed.

Canadian Forces Base Petawawa - Occupying 30,770 ha along the Ottawa and Petawawa rivers, 166 km northwest of Ottawa, Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Petawawa was officially opened in 1905 as an eastern Ontario summer-training militia camp. Built astride historic fur-trading routes, it had roles in both world wars as a major military staging and training base, especially for the artillery and engineers, and as an INTERNMENT centre. During the GREAT DEPRESSION there were relief camps here. After 1945 it became a permanent regular military-unit establishment. Designated "Camp Petawawa" in 1951, it underwent substantial military expansion and urban growth.

Yeovilton, 4 June 1994.
The Canadian Forces sent 8 Hornets to Yeovilton for the D-Day commemoration. It was great to see them again for the first time since I saw them leave Baden Sollingen in March 1993.
It was nice that Canada sent jets from different squadrons. 188758 has the markings of 409 squadron 'Night Hawks', CFB Cold Lake.
