Toronto Nimrod Memorial
It's that awfully sad week for Maritime again, and I just found this online:

I'm sharing this because I cannot be the only member of the community who has never seen it before.

The Vertical Stabiliser from the aircraft is to be sent back from Canada soon. The current custodian is looking to get the item flown from Trenton by either RCAF or RAF means, just trying to sort out the logistics.

I was lucky to be able to pay my respects to the guys on a visit to the museum & at the lake about 5 years ago, the museum staff were wonderful. I can still vividly see the video of the accident & choke up when Nimrod is played. I sincerely hope that the memorial can come home. RIP lads.

The window is no longer on the base (since it became Kinloss Barracks) but resides in one of the local churches I believe. I'm sure someone will be along with more accurate information!
Regarding the window - the constellation of Orion (The Hunter) is at the top. Depicted with seven stars - each star representing a member of the crew who lost their lives.
Obviously you can see the skyline of Toronto and a maple leaf floating on Lake Ontario to show the connection between Toronto, Canada and the RAF Maritime community.
The CXX motto - Endurance is at the bottom.
