    11 Wing?

    To anyone who might know about this: I was visiting the Governor General's website and scanning through the Canadian Heraldic Authority listing of badges when lo and behold, there was an entry for an 11 Wing based out of Montreal. Does anyone have any idea what this particular formation - if...

    Two Canadian warships collide during exercise manoeuvres en route to Hawaii

    I'll bet the Navy's kinda regretting having sunk Huron back in 2007. Just cut the hangar off and replace it; they did it with ship's bows before.

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Actually, now that you've mentioned it, E.R., that sounds even more befitting than just letting him rot: TOTALLY cut off all news reports on him and make him disappear from the public eye forever. After all, how could he be a "martyr" or any sort if people don't know his fate?  ;)

    Shooting rampage at Fort Hood

    Agreed.  In this case, he doesn't deserve "martyrdom."  Let him rot in Leavenworth.

    So what?

    CFB Gagetown now called 5th Canadian Div Support Base

    Keep the physical structures and locations the same name.  Rename the ASGs into DISCOMs or whatever they dream up. As I voted on the CTV poll at the link, Gagetown is Gagetown.  Nuff said.

    Thanks for making that clear.

    1 Air Movements Squadron

    Quick question:  Is 1 Air Movements Squadron in Winnipeg (formerly Edmonton) still an active unit or has it been disbanded?  And what about any of the other movements units outside 2 AMS in Trenton?

    Fates of former armouries

    And D Company of the Lincoln and Welland Regiment.  As soon as the armoury was declared surplus, D Company was stood down and C Company stood up in Welland.

    .905 Calibre rifle created

    Man!  That is one MEAN SOB! I wonder what the tactical range of something like that would be.

    USN Zumwalt Launched

    That is a really odd-looking ship.  It's amazing what progress produces, ne?

    Fates of former armouries

    I would suspect "A" Company of the Lanark and Renfrew Scottish Regiment; they were shifted from Renfrew to Pembroke in 1970 according to The Canadian Militia.

    USN Admiral returns WW2-era IJA flag to Japan

    A big BZ to RADM Caldwell for doing something like that.  A flag of that nature deserves to be in the hands of the original owner's relatives or a shrine.  :salute:

    National identity, how do you identify?

    To non-Canadians, I'm Canadian. To Canadians, I'm an Ontarian. To Ontarians, I'm a Wellander. 'Nuff said.

    Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Has Baby Boy

    So he would King Alexander I and IV, using the Wikipedia format of identifying numerical designations for both England and Scotland. *nods*  Nice.

    Ten Year Old Girl Rescued By 424 Sqn

    Big BZ to the boys of 424!

    Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Has Baby Boy

    Now, if the baby's grandfather doesn't become King George VII (as some have hinted he might do), this child may be the next King George or the first King Alexander or King Louis.

    Battle Honours for HMCS la Hulloise

    Yeah, I saw this website.  Didn't really help in what I was looking for, though.  Thanks again.
