With the Habs' do or die game tonight against the Hurricanes, it was hard to know what to draw for Saturday's #MontrealGazette. So, I came up with this, congratulating the team for an excellent, entertaining season, no matter what happens this evening. Please share! Terry Mosher

@CliveWardauthor I had this poster as a kid. Ended up joining the second one down in column 3 (Canadian version, same badge)

@ColbyBadhwar @GD_LandSystems They only had a model last year. Good to see the full scale gun. Now commit the funds to buy them!

@guywalters @HISTORYUK @nutopiatv Hoping that this will be good, but wondering if I will need more that one hand to count the references to Canada over the series.

@AGoatRodeoBlog The Gunners gathered at the RCHA Club in Kingston on 21 May for an early Artillery Day event raised a glass in his memory. Ubiqie.

@SeaSpitfires 112th LAA Battery RCA was re-roled to rockets from anti-aircraft duties on 9 October, just 23 days before firing these salvos for Infatuate I. They fired the launchers for the first time on 29 Oct near Gheel.

@Kormin_ It looks like even the statues are cowering from the wind!

[David Patterson 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 @stemvik]

@SeaSpitfires I am considering skipping the cemetery on future tours I run due to the restrictions. I used to visit the 5 Cdns there, but have not been able to in recent years. Still go to the beach, just not the cemetery. The @ABMC seems to want to restrict access to families of the fallen.

Can I rent one of those machines for my Airfix 1:72 Bristol Beaufort model, it would be done in a flash!

It took about 10 gallons of product to repaint the top of our Lancaster's wings. Huge thanks to KF Aerospace for the excellent work - and the timelapse!
