Fascinating. Interesting backdrop too.

@scottyeders @FennellJW I do recall seeing Bloodhound when flying into Bruggen. Have a lovely Sunday.

The Bristol Bloodhound: Britain's Cold War guardian born from 1940s fears of Soviet jet bombers. Powered by twin ramjets, it hit Mach 2.7 and guarded V-bomber bases from 1958–1991. It was 1st UK guided weapon in full service. Never fired in anger, but iconic nonetheless. 🚀🇬🇧

@CalgaryPolice Shocking but not surprising. The trend is for all to see. Some serious rethinking needs to take place starting with driver education. Changing the attitude problem will not be easy but necessary. Please drive safely. Have a relaxing Sunday.

⚠️ At about midnight on Saturday, March 14, 2026, we stopped a driver going 198 km/h on Stoney Trail near 162 Avenue S.W. The driver received a mandatory court summons & was also issued a ticket for an improperly displayed licence plate. Speeds of 51 km/h or more over the posted limit require a mandatory court appearance.   Speed limits are in place to keep everyone safe. Slow down & drive responsibly. 🔗 Join the Drive to Zero: Calgary.ca/VisionZero

@LawProfHolloway @pbontoast1 @SteveDaly15 @markAcorn @JohnGAlho Last time a saw a Voodoo was at Namao. Big Ex at Wainwright. The US Navy deployed A6’s for Tactical refueling. The Voodoo’s were parked armed at the SAC site. Exciting 2 weeks for a Herc station.

@pbontoast1 @SteveDaly15 @swakeman @markAcorn @JohnGAlho Just a bit down the road, in Cowtown.

Two jets (and the nose of a third), sporting the old colours. @SteveDaly15 @swakeman @markAcorn @pbontoast1 @JohnGAlho

Meet ‘Moose’ born in Quebec. His nickname and nothing to do with 419 (Moose) Squadron. Thank you for your service Robert.

Say hi to Pokee or have a terrible weekend

🔵 CHARGES LAID 🔵 We have charged 2 people following an investigation into fraudulent activity at a local car dealership. It is believed that between September & December 2025, a representative of Open Road Motors fraudulently obtained 19 vehicles from another dealership using company cheques totalling $322,000. The cheques were later returned as non-sufficient funds. Several of the vehicles were then sold to other dealerships & private buyers. It is believed some private sales were facilitated through Facebook Marketplace using fake accounts under the names “Rick Stratz” & “Lucy Yotagri” to advertise the vehicles, communicate with the buyers & direct payment. Following a joint investigation between the CPS & the Alberta Motor Vehicle Industry Council (AMVIC), 2 people have been charged with multiple offences. 📌 Ryan David WITTENBERG, 51, is charged with 13 offences. 📌 Albany URIBE, 41, is charged with 8 offences. The full list of charges can be found in the news release. ℹ️ AMVIC assisted with this investigation & will continue with regulatory enforcement under its mandate. March is #FraudPreventionMonth, an annual awareness campaign focused on helping individuals & businesses better protect themselves by learning how to recognize, report & prevent fraud. Together with provincial partners, we are sharing fraud-prevention information & resources throughout the month to raise awareness & encourage reporting. Fraud can have a significant emotional & financial impact & no one should feel embarrassed or alone. 📣 Anyone who believes they may be a victim of fraud is encouraged to report it to the CPS or Crime Stoppers. 📣 Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact police. Information? ☎️ CPS: 403-266-1234 🛑 @stopcrimeyyc ⚖ Case #: CA26008256 | 6030 🌐 newsroom.calgary.ca/two-charged-in…

@dawn_kimmy_nl Both Sally and Lucy enjoy the grass. Of course, the results are sometimes unfortunate. 🐈‍⬛ Have a wonderful day.

She loves her cat grass!! 🪴 #CatsAreFamily

Sir Archibald leaving the station. 💚 #Steam

How about this for an act of kindness. So sweet 😂🤣

The fate of the mural is unknown, however In 1947 @TorontoStar asked anyone with a large wall needing covering to contact Union Station. Station staff, According to the Star article, had "a large mural they didn't know what to do with." 3/3

Great shot Stefan Goossens. 441 Sqn RCAF

@LawProfHolloway WestJet has allowed us to enjoy in excess of 100 destinations. Hope this trip takes you to somewhere or someone special. 😁

Early morning at YYC.

@LawProfHolloway @MichelleLA1981 Rules me out. I do have citizenship, held a Commission, never unemployed never missed a tax payment. I still volunteer 20 hours per week. That comment makes me sad.

@MichelleLA1981 So Sir John A Macdonald shouldn’t have been allowed to run? Nor John Turner? Both of them were born in the United Kingdom.

We need to remove all politicians from office who weren't born in Canada. Non Canadians should not be allowed to run for government.

@Tarka_Man @AlexHynes @NetworkRailSCOT @ScotRail I enjoy the theme here. Hope you don’t mind me posting the approach into Jasper. Passenger station as well as freight. Alberta Rocky Mountains.

@AlexHynes @NetworkRailSCOT @ScotRail Garsdale...

As views from a railway station go (Pitlochry), this one is pretty special. @NetworkRailSCOT @ScotRail 🏔️

@The_East_End @tracey_sparke No anger, no hatred just people enjoying themselves. Smiles and laughter. We have lost something quite special.

I’ve mentioned hop picking in many previous posts, and I’ve dug out this little video to show you. The Garden of England comes alive. It was bloody hard work, but to many East Enders (and others) it was a welcome break from the smog and pollution of the capital… #eastend #hops

Mar 14, 1949: the Montreal Locomotive Works outshops the last new standard gauge steam locomotive built for a Canadian railway. The @CanadianPacific Railway 2-10-4 Selkirk No. 5935 was part of the T1c class, the largest steam locomotives ever built in Canada. 1/2

@TheMonologist @FennellJW What to watch first. Battle of Britain or Zulu? Rhetorical question really. Thank you for posting.

@Lost___London I do remember the sounds as I was around 12 when steam was discontinued. These long platforms were my first launch to Europe via Harwich to Hood of Holland. Happy memories.

@jkenney Actually, just a deposit. Have a wonderful day Sir.

So fantastic. Female Israeli pilots destroying the weapons of one of the world's most misogynistic regimes. Payback for the Israeli women raped by the Islamic Republic's Hamas terrorists on and after 10/7.
