Hi Geoff:

Here are some threads I recommend moving to the gun park. In cases where it was a truck thread I based my recommendation on whether the discussion focussed on the use of the truck as a gun tractor or SP carriage versus straight forward softskin discussion of thr trucks mechanical, etc.........

You just like to see me work, that's it, isn't it?!

I've moved most, copied a copy and left a couple others - for the moment. Beyond that, all I can say is that...

YOU HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS!!!

I would like to say chapter one in regards to the 23rd Field Regiment's contribution in the Normandy Campaign is finished. Lots of live footage of Sexton S.P's along with other footage during the Battle of Normandy. Preserving Canada's Rule during WW2.

Hope you enjoy it,

Here's the link !!

Always good to see the insightful words of Mike Calnan! He is a gunner par excellence and it is an honour to know him (and see him occasionally at events such as the recent 30 Field Cannon Ball).
I hesitate to say that I knew him as a pup -but as Baden Editor of Der Kanadier when his father was in Germany with our Gunner contingent I got in trouble by publishing what I considered to be a funny photo (just two air force guys passing a 12 volt battery from one to another) with the caption "B Battery Changes Hands" during the active posting season of (about) 1972 when the paper was full of such grin and grip photos.
I was actually invited for tea with the Commander 4CMBG before MY boss Col Arnie Bauer stepped in and pointed out that as a pilot and HIS man I was not part of THAT chain of command and would continue to publish what I wished.
I had already had one memorable earlier tea with an Air Force MGen who conspicuously failed to congratulate me on my low level night antics over London Ontario -and had been looking forward to comparing it to the hospitality of an Army BGen -or was he just a full Colonel? -but it was not to be!
I was also lucky enough to serve the guns of 30 Field with Mike when that fine regiment allowed me to command its 1 battery after I retired from the Air Force. I was honoured indeed.

Hi Mike!

Keep up the good work!
