Today mark the 100th anniversary of when the Royal Canadian Air Force was form! Though the history started in WW1 technicality, Canada didn't really have it own air force! It did start up in 1920 as the Canadian Air force but it wouldn't be known as the Royal Canadian Air Force till today, April 1st 1924! I think it insane how much has change 100 years ago!
Anyway I wanted to add more plane but sadly I was very busy in March and didn't have to time to add a lot of planes from different point in history but I'm proud of the ones did them being, de Havilland DH.82C Tiger Moth,Supermarine Spitfire, CT-114 Tutor, CT-156 Harvard II! Though I experiment with a different style with this!

"Pleads Guilty To Robbery," Winnipeg Tribune. August 4, 1943. Page 11.
----
Joseph Raymond Olivie Perrault, of Fasset, Que., pleaded guilty in city police court today to a charge of armed robbery Monday night. He was remanded until Friday.
Perrault was charged with robbing Pat Murphy, 381 Balmoral st., of $35 in the Colony pharmacy, 374 Colony st., at 7.30 p.m. Monday/
Asked how old he was, Perrault said he was 19 by R.C.A.F. records but his real age was 17. Difficulty in verifying his age made immediate disposition of the case impossible.
Police said Perrault had escaped custody Saturday from R.C.A.F. police at No. 2 manning depot, Brandon, where he was awaiting sentence by court martial on three theft charges. Police said he had stolen a .45 calibre revolver with a clip of 14 cartridges, and that he had used it in Monday's holdup.
R.C.A.F. police and city detectives made the arrest at 8.30 p.m. Tuesday in the United Services centre.

Titanic sub suffered 'catastrophic implosion,' all five aboard dead
By Joseph Ax and Steve Gorman
23 June 2023
June 22 (Reuters) - The five people aboard a missing submersible died in a "catastrophic implosion," a U.S. Coast Guard official said on Thursday, bringing a grim end to the international search for the vessel that was lost during a deep-sea voyage to the wreck of the Titanic.
"These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world's oceans," OceanGate Expeditions, the U.S.-based company that operated the Titan submersible, said in a statement.
"Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time."
An unmanned robot deployed from a Canadian ship discovered the wreckage of the Titan on Thursday morning about 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the century-old wreck, 2-1/2 miles (4 km) below the surface in a remote area of the North Atlantic, U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said at a press conference.
"The debris field here is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle," Mauger said.
The five aboard included the British billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding, 58; Pakistani-born business magnate Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman, both British citizens; French oceanographer and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who had visited the wreck dozens of times; and Stockton Rush, the American founder and chief executive of OceanGate, who was piloting the submersible.
Rescue teams from several countries had spent days searching thousands of square miles of open seas with planes and ships for any sign of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) Titan.
The submersible lost contact with its support ship on Sunday morning, June 18, about an hour and 45 minutes into what should have been a two-hour descent.
Mauger said it was too early to tell when the vessel's failure occurred.
The search operation had sonar buoys in the water for more than three days and had not detected any sort of loud explosive noise during the period, Mauger said.
The buoys had picked up some sounds on Tuesday and Wednesday that temporarily offered hope the people on board the Titan were alive and trying to communicate by banging on the hull.
But officials said analysis of the sound was inconclusive and that the noises might not have emanated from the Titan at all.
"There doesn't appear to be any relation between the noises and the location of the debris field on the sea floor," Mauger said on Thursday.
Robotic craft on the ocean floor will continue to gather evidence, Mauger said, but it is not clear whether recovering the bodies will be possible given the nature of the accident and the extreme conditions at those depths.
Five major pieces of the Titan have been found, including most of the pressure hull, officials said.
SAFETY CONCERNS
The search had grown increasingly desperate on Thursday, when the estimated 96-hour air supply was expected to run out if the Titan were still intact.
The Titanic, which sank in 1912 on its maiden voyage after hitting an iceberg, killing more than 1,500 people, lies about 900 miles (1,450 km) east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 miles (640 km) south of St. John's, Newfoundland.
The expedition to the wreck, which OceanGate has been operating since 2021, cost $250,000 per person, according to OceanGate's website.
Questions about Titan's safety were raised in 2018 during a symposium of submersible industry experts and in a lawsuit by OceanGate's former head of marine operations, which was settled later that year.
The sweeping search covered more than 10,000 square miles of ocean - about the size of the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
On Thursday, the deployment of two specialized deep-sea unmanned vehicles expanded the search to the ocean's depths, where immense pressure and pitch-black darkness complicated the mission.
The missing submersible and subsequent hunt captured worldwide attention, in part due to the mythology surrounding the Titanic.
The "unsinkable" British passenger liner has inspired both nonfiction and fiction accounts for a century, including the James Cameron blockbuster 1997 movie, which rekindled popular interest in the story.

An hour or so later, this was my photoship for an air-to-air sortie with Hurricane R4118. Aircraft: Noorduyn AT-16 Harvard IIb G-CIUW/FE511. Location: White Waltham Airfield, near Maidenhead, Berkshire.

The Gimli Glider airplane accident is one of those things that seems stranger than fiction. Like, due to a series of communication and conversion errors, a Boeing 767 ends up taking off with a quarter of the fuel it should and loses both engines while cruising at 41,000 feet over rural Canada, which seems like a recipe for disaster because, while the plane can glide without fuel, there's not enough speed to make it to the nearest airport. HOWEVER, the first officer used to serve in the Royal Canadian Air Force and remembers there's a disused air base within their distance range. Yay! BUT they're not descending fast enough and will overshoot the airport and have no way to change the plane's speed. Oh no! HOWEVER, the captain flies unpowered gliding planes in his spare time and knows a strategy to slow it down by basically turning the plane nearly sideways so that the drag on the fuselage slows it down. If he's careful enough, he'll be able to land the plane at the old air force base. Yay! BUT it turns out that one of the runways is now used for drag racing and it's race day with people on the runway. Yikes! THANKFULLY everyone got out of the way and the plane stopped without hitting anyone and with only minor injuries to any passengers. Utterly absurd.
