- This is a short video that I made on the Royal Canadian Air Force from the end of WWII to 1968, when the RCAF was absorbed in the Canadian Armed Forces. It is a pictorial on the principal aircraft used by the RCAF during this period and I used the RCAF March Past as a musical score, which I feel is appropriate for it. So, RCAF fans like me, enjoy this little flashback to a period when we had a glorious air force.
At a Remembrance Day celebration last Friday there was a 95-year-old RCAF veteran to my right. He was so handsome it was amazing. He held it together until the band played this at the end. He wept and embraced his daughter,
The best Air Force quick march in the world (RAF/RCAF/RAAF/RNZAF)
Through adversities we'll conquer.
Blaze into the stars,
A trail of glory
We'll live on land and sea
'Til victory is won.
Men in blue the skies are winging
In each heart one thought is ringing.
Fight for the right,
God is our might,
We shall be free.
Absolutely marvellous/merveilleux.
I served 1953-1983, in the golden years of the RCAF and remember all of these aircraft; a few of which I flew into as crew.
I also remember 16-aircraft box formations; these days are now gone.
After retirement fron the CF, I had the great pleasure to dress in light blue again, as a member of the Secondary Reserve.
Thank you for your service, Sir.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the pics and March Past.
Thank you for this video Sir Cheers !!!👍😊
A salute to the RCAF on your anniversary day
Now the RCAF has emerged from the Canadian Armed Forces once again and is now the RCAF. Has been so for a couple of years anyway.
It is still part of the Canadian Armed Forces along with the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army; they have their commanders who are under a Canadian Forces Chief of Staff who answers to the Minister of Defense.
Is this not technically a "fly past?" A "march past" is as it sounds, airmen marching.
When I hear this March past play, my mind goes back to my RCAF early days and flypasts of 16 T33s in box formation, low over the parade square, while this is playing.
