Will The Royal Canadian Air Force Pass The British Army's Drill Test? | Forces TV 

GO CANADA!! 👍 🇬🇧❤️🇨🇦

I was a Grenadier Guardsman in the 60's and I know the pressure that those people would have been put through, absolutely brilliant. Well done the Canadians.

we owe Canada a debt that we can never ever repay . they came every single time without even being asked when we where in trouble and fought like lions way beyond their numbers at that time . God bless you all and thank you for my freedom and the freedom of my family . for me you have already passed every test with flying colours .

Wow. That's awesome guys. Why doesn't the commonwealth make this a normal thing? British Soldiers in Australia. New Zealanders in Ottawa. I think it'd be a great way to strengthen the already strong relationship between us.

Being a former Guardsman, I'm proud to see these brothers and sisters from the Canadian Royal Air Force, coming to have their turn at guarding the Royal Palaces, I wish them well

Brilliant.Bloody love our Canadian cousins👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧

God bless the Canadians - as a Brit this is a proud moment to see them guarding our crown

The fact that Canada sent such a large and distinguished force to conduct ceremonial duties in London is a great honour. Thank you Canada,

The Brits have never needed a reminder of Canada's contribution to the Commonwealth.

Got family in Canada. God bless the Canadians and thank you for your service

My father transferred from the Winnipeg Grenadiers (Machine Gun) Regiment to 110 (Army Cooperation) Squadron RCAF in August 1939....which was the first RCAF Squadron deployed to the UK in February 1940, the Squadron then was re-designated and renumbered 400 Squadron, RCAF.....the first RCAF Squadron in WWII......he served in the RCAF until 1965, transferring then to the Defence Research Establishment (Pacific) Esquimalt, BC.....My brother served in the RCAF for five years and I joined the RCAF in 1964. Per Ardua Ad Astra......!

This was in 2018 was in London and saw them performing this I watched them drill and a officer told us that this was the first time in the RCAF history that they got invited over for this drill it was Pretty neat and historical

Our Canadian military might not be strong in numbers, but our military is strong in skill, and this is recognised. Maple Leaf Up.

Great to see our Canadian cousins here. I have an elderly friend who served as a senior rank in the British Army. He told me he was once detailed to organise a multi-service march past. He said the army marched past, the RAF walked by and the Royal Navy just did the best they could.

My goodness! You’d a thought that Canadian troops had just graduated to long pants. In fact, Canadians troops have been guarding Our Sovereign for 230 yrs, and we beat back the Americans 3 times. I’m so pleased the GSM thinks we’re up to scratch to guard Our Queen.

Can i just welcome you to Britain.

I'm proud of those RCAF airmen and women. Carry on.

I bet Matsimus will not see this

The UK has and always will have a special bond with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We come from the same stock, same language, similar societies, shared values ..... the list goes on. I believe that with our shared history, we truly are a family of nations. I would stand shoulder to shoulder with each and every one of them.

Congratulations to the Royal Canadian Air Force. A great honor and they will do Canada proud.

Well done Canada' Congrats' you should be proud!!!!

So proud of our boys! Right on

Welcome and well done Canada. ,

I watched some of this last week while I was in London with the Gurkhas, they where doing pretty good 👌🏽

God save the Queen!

0.56 that foot on the rifle...

Feeling proud! 🇨🇦 By the way, the march they played at the end is called 'Washington Greys'

🙋‍♀️Congratulations Canada!! 🇨🇦 Awesome!! You did well !!! ❤️ and did us proud!! XO

Well done canada! Keep up the hard work!

We british should have some Canadians and Australian, New Zealand troops to help guard the queen, it would be a great symbol of friendship, the queen is after all they're queen aswell.

Well done lads

From a former Coldstream Guardsman, not bad.

Very sharp - and love seeing them march with their beautiful SLRs !!

The Canadian boys have got what it takes. We've known that for a century in the UK.

These guys just seem so nice

Nice one Canada

Brilliant, nice one lads(and lasses).🇬🇧⚔️🇨🇦

Outstanding to see us colonials getting a gurnsey as The Queen's Guard. How about my old service, the RAAF, getting a turn soon. In my day we were pretty good at advanced drill and ceremonial. Cheers, BH Then there's the Australian combined Federation Guard of all three services. These people specialise in official, public ceremonial guard and drill duties they are exceptional. Cheers, RaafBloke

Loving the uniform

I found the gold looks a lot better than the silver against the blue uniform. I do realize that it is a return to the old drab low-key uniform of the original RCAF/RAF.

00:56. Second trooper from the left. Resting his foot on the rifle's magazine well.

Canadian soldier sailors and airman rock!

I doff my cap in respect.... 🇬🇧🇨🇦🇬🇧🇨🇦

Great one men and lady's GO CANADA

Sergeant David Grenon was my music officer when i was a young drummer in the sea cadets. Such memories

Fantastic. Thank you to our Commonwealth cousins.

Canadian Army and RCAF have now guarded her majesty..... when will the RCN be given our chance?

Big love to our Canadian cousins

Brilliant Canada !

Apart from the bloke on the right tick tocking right at the start....pretty good

Well done people!

Félicitations!

This took place south of Buckingham Palace near the park going towards Parliament if I remember right that’s the main RAF building or the cadet training/ instructional area

Good job

Bloody Brilliant!!!!

Canada should be proud!!!!

0;27, chap at the rear of the middle rank forgets to turn! Then gets out of step....just as the commentator says they are required to conduct drill "flawlessly". Perfect bad timing :) However, very smart and I wish them well!

Canadians train just like us british, tough guys even the Germans said they couldn't tell us apart in battle

Love canada royal guards

1:06 I saw that.

Deepend mystery,nice.

It's the same foot drill I believe just as the Ozzy's and the Kiwi's and Irish although the Irish do the commands in Irish Gaelic

Way to go RCAF! Where the 'Van Doos' went before you can follow with equal pride. Allez mes amis!

Notice me matsimus

Well done Canada!

Will this contingent be doing anything special on July 1 -- Canada Day?

They look really good and make Canada look good. I love the MWO personal story. :)

Russell Williams...

1:00?? hope it doesn't break off

1 minute in there is a guy standing on his mag XD

I wonder how similar the drills are

Of course Matsimus will comment on this... 😊😊

They look like Thunderbirds .

1:00. Is that a dude in the background resting his foot on his rifle?

Well done the Canadian air force

The Q- Her Majesty the Queen

0:28 he messed that up

A bit late but well done ...

With the Canadians, at least the queens guard has a rifle that will actually work.

1:06 Canadian army eating good😂😂

Kinda looks like the modern Luftwaffe uniform...

1:15 She's putting the wrong em-PHA-sis and the wrong syll-A-ble!

RAF drill and commands are somewhat different to army

u want to join the USAF instead of OORAH we said OKIE DOKIEE

Crazy how the Quebec French speak with a broken English accent, basically a French woman in a Canadian uniform guarding the British sovereign.

Uh oh. A froggy guarding the queen

How long are they there?

0:55 look upper left corner..using optic as leg rest.... I don't want to live on this planet anymore...

meanwhile we can't afford to keep our own military in check

It is hard to join the Canadian Air Force

Why are they wearing chip hats 😂😂😂

I'm surprised they had to pass a test after watching changing of the guard recently and the recent trooping of the Colour I must say the standards of drill within the household division have dropped dramatically. There was a time that the rest of the British Army looked up to the household division as they set the standard in drill but unfortunately that no longer seems the case. The problem is the British Army is too small and yet it is over committed so what used to be a mainly ceremonial Force is constantly on active duty and then there is the problem with retention. I don't think it's any coincidence that in recent years troops from around the Commonwealth have been coming to Mount guard at the palace this is quite simply to free up British forces who are overstretched.. that's my opinion anyway

The French have infiltrated the Queens guard :D.

Alhamdulillah Pakistani army professional strong beautiful so smart best on the world every years take gold medal I love ISI

Is this a first does anyone know? Incredibly welcome!

0:52 Back left. Who uses the optic on their weapon as a foot rest?

Why have they been invited to do this? Is it their anniversary - like the RAF's?

Not half bad, for a bunch of Johnny Foreigners.

Talking about proper dress, that WO belt is crooked.

British landmarks Canadian guards and a German queen.... Can't make this crap up lol.
