all the QSPs I've known who've been to Canada thoroughly enjoyed the place
Without doubt the best 3 years I have had in my 23 years of flying to date. I miss the people and the country every day - good luck.

Top place and people.

I tried to get there two years ago as a 5000hr rotary bloke Brit mil/but now an elementary QFI. 47 years old with original teeth and hair, since you ask.

Didn't wash on account of requirement/nationality. They were extremely nice about it, but when was the last time you ever met a rude Canadian? It's against the laws of physics.

So to any Canucks reading this, you are the most courteous nation I've encountered, thank you for letting me score that ice hockey goal at Moosejaw, and I know you let me score because I was crawling and all you lot were going backwards on skates. And that was the 4 year olds.

Mental times, and I WILL make it to Vancouver one day.

Q: How do you get 20 Canadian teenagers out of a swimming pool on a summer's day?

A: You ask them


p.s Canada does not have alert states. Let's hope it stays that way.

I can only second this. As a youngish killick gunner I was 'cross-pollinated' onto HMCS Iroquois. Bit of a cheap affair, three of us to go across and three back. I was Cox'n there and another RCN killick was the Cox'n back. This, when we were about 400nm west of the Shetlands.

Could not have been better lashed up. Beer at 25c a tin out of a vending machine, top scran and bugger all to do except watch how the other half does it. Once the Canuck paymaster realised we only had Sterling he was only too happy to advance us $50 as long as we gave our equivalent a signed chit for repayment.

Had a marvellous ten days with no chance of going on the trot as we were still in the same bloody sea at the end of it. The RCN Sea King transfer back was a different class compared to the self drive seaboat there.
