Happy birthday, Canada

Fine country - Great People - Congratulations.

Marked here too. In Folkestone on Canada Day, the 300 Canadian Soldiers buried in the military barracks at Shorncliffe are remembered. The military, the British Legion and town officials all pay their respects and 300 children put flowers on all the Canadian graves. We don't forget.

Sorry for "bombers", I guess they were not, I got sun burnt sitting in front of the Parliament and then soaked with rain walking back to the hotel from Canadian War Museum (big post coming up, need to sort pictures and drive to Montreal at the same time)
 
Seconded. So many are buried in the WW1 Commonwealth cemeteries in France and Belgium, along with our own and those of New Zealand and Australia. In my first few days at Hala Camp, Saudi Arabia in 1991 we were fed by Canadian cooks, hash browns for breakfast, well it was novel then. The camp was used by the staff of a Canadian field hospital, so we were told.

Re: "bombers"

My bet is those are the Red Arrow display team flying the BAE Hawks, forming up on a CF-18 Hornet.
Hawks are training aircraft; the Hornet is a little more offensive, and could, technically, be classed as a bomber if that's what it's rigged for.
 
I think they are CT-114 Tutors. The wings are not swept like the Hawk. Yes it will be a CF-188 Hornet. great aircraft.
