Less than an hour to Canada. There are a couple airports a little north of here whose IAP procedure turns penetrate Canadian airspace.

A Churchill MkIV turret in the middle of being converted into a Churchill NA75 using the M3 gun trunnions and mantlet from a knocked out Sherman in North Africa. It has had the front of the turret cut away to fit the new gun.
A finished Churchil MkIV NA75 turret waiting to be refitted to the hull.
The NA75 is a fascinating story of field ingenuity NA75 story

Especially in an "Agony Wagon"! You don't "fly" one of those things, you "herd" it. I once heard an ex B24 pilot refer to a formation of Liberators as "a herd of ornery longhorn steers".
Nice shots guys!

that is a new one on me, had to do a search for what it was, although i did guess it was an anti tank rifle but didnt know the Germans had one !
Hey, that's us, gathering maple sap! Err, except for the grounding leads on bucket and tank. Must be pretty touchy, aromatic stuff to be that hazardous at those temps. Low grade avgas maybe? Lotta sled trips to fill one airplane, truck, tank, whatever.

Try water, realley realley low avgas
Then why the grounding leads? Oops, enlarged it and took a good look. Not grounding leads. Reins? Ahh, throttle linkages for the powerplant; I get it!
Good shots guys!
