Ed. Note: After you view the following videos you will agree with me that it was fortunate I did not give up my day job. However, the videos are a visual history of an event or an interview. Be patient with the background noise and strange zooming; it will get better, I hope.

The Nato Years
This video is deteriorating but still enjoyable. It was put together by Bragg, Ursulak and Morrison (Sorry but don't know the first names of these gentlemen) for the !996 SPAADS reunion in Calgary. They did a super job as well as the many SPAADS who donated their videos or photos. All Squadrons, Rabat, Deci, Prestwick and Hawks are represented. You will recognize the music. Fifty six minutes. The original posting of this video only had 26 minutes but Hugh Bacon questioned where the other half had disappeared to which resulted in this, the finding and posting of the complete video. In addition, other videos on this site may have parts of this video as separate videos. Not sure why. In any case enjoy the flashback.
