Pics of the Yearly Battle of Britain Ceremony in My Town up at the RCAF Wing at the Airport Lands.
Here are some photos before I was on the Executive Committee of the Royal Canadian Air Force Wing in my town (RCAF) for the big yearly event in September where hundreds of people gather for a parade and ceremony.
It is to mark the Battle of Britain victory.
I will paste the details of that for you at the end of this post. Here are the photos!!!! But in brief:
The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England or Luftschlacht um Großbritannien, literally "Air battle for England" or "Air battle for Great Britain") is the name given to the World War II air campaign waged by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) against the United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940.
Here I am in the middle of some of the cadets.
They call everyone sir or madam.

This fellow gave an amazing speech. His wingman in the Snowbirds was the fellow who was killed a few years back.
The Whitby Air Cadets named their troupe after the fallen partner, and their squadron number - was also the fellow's air force number, it was quite moving, what a humbling day. I could not wait to meet and talk with this fellow here.
He is one of Canada's top pilots, he flies the Prime Minister around all over the place.
History of the Battle of Britain:
The Battle of Britain (German: Luftschlacht um England or Luftschlacht um Großbritannien, literally "Air battle for England" or "Air battle for Great Britain") is the name given to the World War II air campaign waged by the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) against the United Kingdom during the summer and autumn of 1940.
The objective of the campaign was to gain air superiority over the Royal Air Force (RAF), especially Fighter Command. The name derives from a famous speech delivered by Prime Minister Winston Churchill in the House of Commons: "...the Battle of France is over. I expect that the Battle of Britain is about to begin."[25][26]
The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces,[27] and was also the largest and most sustained aerial bombing campaign to that date.
From July 1940 coastal shipping convoys and shipping centres, such as Portsmouth, were the main targets; one month later the Luftwaffe shifted its attacks to RAF airfields and infrastructure. As the battle progressed the Luftwaffe also targeted aircraft factories and ground infrastructure. Eventually the Luftwaffe resorted to attacking areas of political significance and using terror bombing tactics.[nb 16]
The failure of Germany to achieve its objectives of destroying Britain's air defences, or forcing Britain to negotiate an armistice or an outright surrender, is considered its first major defeat and one of the crucial turning points in the war.[29] If Germany had gained air superiority over England, Adolf Hitler might have launched Operation Sea Lion, an amphibious and airborne invasion of Britain. CANADIAN FORCES PLAYED A MAJOR ROLE IN THIS BATTLE.
