> Newfoundland, Canada declares war on the U.S.A!!!
> President Trump was in the Oval Office when his telephone rang. "Hallo, President Trump, " a heavily accented voice said. "This is Archie, up 'ere at the Harp Seal Pub in Badger's Cove, Newfoundland, Canada, eh? I am callin' to tells ya dat we are officially declaring war on ya!"
> "Well Archie," Donald said, "This is indeed important news! How big is your army?"
> "Right now," said Archie, after a moments calculation "there is myself, me cousin Harold , me next-door-neighbor Mick, and the whole dart team from the pub. That makes eight!"
> Donald paused. "I must tell you Archie that I have one million men in my army waiting to move on my command."
> "Wow," said Archie. "I'll have at call ya back!"
> Sure enough, the next day, Archie called again. "Mr. Trump, the war is still on! We have managed to acquire some infantry equipment! We have two combines, a bulldozer, and Harry 's farm tractor."
> President Trump sighed. "I must tell you Archie, that I have 16,000 tanks and 14,000 armored personnel carriers. Also I've increased my army to one and a half million since we last spoke."
> "Lord above," said Archie, "I'll be getting back to ya."
> Sure enough, Archie rang again the next day.. "President Trump, the war is still on! We have managed to git ourselves airborne! We up an' modified Harrigan's ultra-light wit a couple of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Legion have joined us as well!"
> Donald was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you Archie that I have 10,000 bombers and 20,000 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to TWO MILLION!"
> "Jumpins, Lord tunderin! Two million, ye say!!" said Archie, "l'll have at call youse back."
> Sure enough, Archie called again the next day. "President Trump! I am sorry to have to tell you dat we have had to call off dis 'ere war."
> "I'm sorry to hear that" said Donald. "Why the sudden change of heart?"
> "Well, sir," said Archie, "we've all sat ourselves down and had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and come to realize dat dere's no way we can feed two million prisoners."

That's good!

Seriously....whats up with the milk crates?? We have a Snowbird in the Shearwater museum here in Dartmouth and it doesn't have crate seats. Not standard equipment!! :D

Must have been budget cuts!! :bang head

Looks like the seat pan is missing on the left seat. Milk crates with a cushion are great for doing maintenance in low places where if you sit on the ground you are too low but if you kneel you are just getting a back ache and sore knees. Sometimes someone pops for a mechanics chair but these are cheap and easy to get.

PS Nicknames I know of for the CT-114 Tutor are toot, and two door.
 
Is that down in Calgary at the Museum of the Regiments?? Havent been but heard they have a nice air display now. Also the Clunk looks to be a Mk I or II maybe from what I can see. Did my ABDR course on them.

It's the Nanton Bomber Command Museum, one of these days I need to get to the Military Museums as the museum of Regiments is now known as :hmmm . I believe they have the SeaFury that was once parked outside HMCS Tecumseh Calgary for many years.
I still need to get to Nanton. I drove by the Military Museum a number of times when I was working an airforce display at the Calgary Stampede years ago but never had time to visit. Must try and make the time. Maybe when we go down that way when the grand daughter is born.
 
That would be good if you can do it or maybe next year in the spring as the model show will be back, it alternates between here and Edmonton every other year.
