    CF seeking 3 or 4 manned fixed-wing ISR planes

    Reason why I suggested 434 OE&T Squadron is that it responds to the CF Aerospace Warfare Centre.  414 EWS Squadron also falls under the CFAWC, so it made sense to me that a new and unique combat ability would go to this group and not say 427 SOA Squadron. Or even better, reform 428 "Ghost"...

    CF seeking 3 or 4 manned fixed-wing ISR planes

    Well, it's a start.  Most likely, 434 Squadron will get the aircraft.

    I have a question:  Why was HDW's pennant number painted off her hull?

    New Badge of the RCMS?

    Was scanning through the Canadian Heraldic Authority's listings at the Governor General's website and I saw this: https://reg.gg.ca/heraldry/pub-reg/project.asp?lang=e&ProjectID=3148&ShowAll=1 Is this some sort of new badge planned for members of the RCMS?

    Wonderful but very sad news for the French Navy and the relatives of the loss. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-49068823?ocid=socialflow_twitter

    Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery School - Assigned Batteries

    Hi, just a curious question here. What exactly are the tasks and duties of the three batteries currently assigned to the RCAS in Gagetown ("W" Bty, 45 Bty and 65 Bty)? I know the two numbered batteries are marked as "depot" batteries, but nothing I've read describes anything beyond that.

    Dark Blue Berets return

    Yeah, it's the way the person who made it for my little lady there makes them.  Still, it's easy to imagine it being like the standard berets we wear/once wore, eh?

    Dark Blue Berets return

    If people are proposing new beret colours for the Army, here's an idea for airmobile infantry/cavalry.  It's noticeably different from the airborne maroon and special forces tan, but unique. (And I apologize.  I took the picture from my iPhone, but it won't make it stand up)

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Oh, yeah.  That would be perfect.  It's in Inuktitut, thus gets around the English/French language requirement.

    FWSAR (CC130H, Buffalo, C27J, V22): Status & Possibilities

    Most likely, it'll be CC-195 since there are still loads of 100-series type numbers available to be used.  As for name, I haven't seen anything.

    Wedgetail to be RAF's new AEW&C aircraft

    Truthfully, it would be nice to have an AEW&C platform of our own.  We could order the E-7 and use that to help in keeping the North free of Russian intrusion as well as help NATO and our allies elsewhere.

    Dark Blue Berets return

    Does anyone have pictures of people wearing the new berets?

    Dutch ships and designs and the possibilities for Canada

    What about ships like the SIGMA 9113-class corvettes?  Would be perfect to replace the Kingston-class ships, I believe.

    Dark Blue Berets return

    I wonder if the RCA, RCEME, RCSigs and CIntC are getting their new berets from the same stock as where Robert Land Academy in Wellandport ON get their berets; blue has been the colour for all cadets after passing Recruit Period since I attended the school from 1980-84.
