WOW! I am Canadian and I seriously didn't know we had a navy.

I knew we had an army of sort, as one of my uncle was an officier, but I thought it was a social club, or something like that...

Yes Willow you do have an airforce and quite a good one! [img]smile.gif[/img] When I worked at the bombing range in Yuma Az a squadron of Canadian Air Force planes used our range and did very well [img]smile.gif[/img] Better in fact than many of our squadrons. They gave us all some small Canadian Air Force patches which I still have somewhere. Also very friendly (well for officers [img]tongue.gif[/img] )

As for the Canadian Navy.....this may be a secret but did you know they even have submarines (shhhhhhhhh) although the British sent them a lemon last year [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I did hear that the majority of R.A.F pilots during WW2 were Canadian as most of the British men were used in the D-day landings.
