AVGP Cougar Armoured Vehicle General Purpose on display at Canadian Forces Base Borden located in Simcoe County Ontario Canada
The Cougar was used for training in Canada as a reconnaissance vehicle. During the 1980s and 1990s, it was used by armoured units as a fire support vehicle, for those units not equipped with the Leopard tank. The squadrons equipped with the Cougar in those regiments were humorously referred to as the "boat squadron" as opposed to the reconnaissance squadrons, which were equipped with the Lynx, and later the Coyote (another AVGP successor).

GMC Model C DUKW 6x6 Amphibious Transport Vehicle on display at the Military Museum located at Canadian Forces Base Borden in Simcoe County Ontario Canada
Liberation Day (Dutch: Bevrijdingsdag) is celebrated in The Netherlands each year on May the 5th to mark the end of the occupation by Nazi Germany during World War II.
The nation was liberated by Canadian forces, British infantry divisions, the British I Corps, the 1st Polish Armoured Division, American, Belgian, Dutch and Czechoslovak troops.
Parts of the country, in particular the south-east, were liberated by the British Second Army which included American and Polish airborne forces (see Operation Market Garden) and French airbornes (see Operation Amherst).
On 5 May 1945 the Canadian General Charles Foulkes and the German Commander-in-Chief Johannes Blaskowitz reached an agreement on the capitulation of German forces in the Netherlands in Hotel de Wereld in Wageningen. One day later the capitulation document was signed in the auditorium of Wageningen University located next door.
After liberation in 1945 Liberation Day was celebrated every five years. In 1990 the day was declared a national holiday when liberation would be remembered and celebrated every year.
On May 4 the Dutch hold "Dodenherdenking" Remembrance of the Dead for the people who fought and died during World War II (280,000 Dutch people died as a result of the war.) and in wars in general.
There are remembrance gatherings all over cities and in the country, the better-known at the National Monument on Dam Square in Amsterdam and at the Waalsdorpervlakte in the dunes near The Hague, one of the infamous Nazi execution places.
Throughout the country two minutes of silence is observed at 8 pm.
On May 5 the liberation is celebrated and festivals are held at most places in the Netherlands with parades of veterans and 14 musical festivals through the whole country.
Freedom is a right, but not obvious!
FREEDOM in the Netherlands thanks to:
• Canadian forces
• British infantry divisions
• British I Corps
• 1st Polish Armored Division
• American, Belgian, Dutch and Czechoslovak troops.

damaged in November 1984 during a combat landing near Waat in southern Sudan. On November 16, 1987, three years after being damaged in the landing at Waat, the aircraft was flown from Khartoum to Alexandria. After a couple of weeks and a few hours of test flying, the aircraft left Alexandria on an epic flight to Greenville South Carolina. The recovery and transport of Buffalo #85 began in November 2002 and involved CWHM volunteers, volunteers from the Carolinas Aviation Museum, and staff from DAC Aviation. The Buffalo was further deconstructed (removal of the wing centre-section and tail) and transported by truck to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in January 2003.

CAF 114155 - Canadair CT-114 Tutor - Canadian Forces SNOWBIRDS
in the entrance hall of the Canada Aviation & Space Museum at Ottawa Rockcliffe Airport (YRO)

The Canadian Forces donated the aircraft to the Museum in 1999.

These barracks were built by the Canadian forces in the end of the 1950's. In these barracks the unmarried forces settled while the married soldiers got to live in a compound nearby outside the barracks.
On the terrain there were churches, a gym, radio antenna and the cinema.
In the 1970's the Canadians left and the barracks were used by the British forces. Uptil the mid 1990's when the last soldiers left and no others came to take their place...

3.7cm Pak L/45 German Anti-Tank Gun on display at Canadian Forces Base Borden located in Simcoe County Ontario Canada
Design of a horse-drawn, 3.7 cm anti-tank gun (designated 3.7 cm Pak L/45) by Rheinmetall commenced in 1924 and the first guns were issued in 1928.[5] By the early 1930s, it was apparent that horse-drawn artillery was obsolescent, and the gun was modified for motorized transport by substituting magnesium-alloy wheels and pneumatic tires for the original spoked wooden wheels, allowing it to be towed at highway speeds. Re-designated the 3.7 cm Pak 35/36, it began to replace the 3.7 cm Pak L/45 in 1934 and first appeared in combat in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War. It formed the basis for many other nations' anti-tank guns during the first years of World War II
