For those of you who appreciate Canada's Worst Driver, all things Air Force or ever had the pleasure of spending a few weeks in an H-uit,well, have I got a deal for you.



More of the story, a link to 71 pictures from Camp Picton and a tale about how I wound up on the airfield runways are all awaiting you here.

Which was probably named for the 'top hat general' (General Sir Thomas Picton one of the field commanders at Waterloo :o)

Likely this is so. Anything here in Canada that wasn't already named by the First Nations was named after Important (and usually dead or soon-to-be-so) English or French men (oh, and the odd woman. Regina comes to mind.)

Nice that a place gets names after a true English eccentric of the old school (not that that prevented him from being an excellent general :o)
