My piece on the RCN’s/RCAF’s ongoing issues with the CH-148 Cyclone and their drone aspirations appears on pages 38/39 of the November issue of Warships IFR magazine. #WarshipsIFR #writing #photography #defence #RoyalCanadianNavy

The September issue of Warships IFR magazine contains my article on HMCS Margaret Brooke’s deployment to the southern hemisphere earlier this year, providing my thoughts on the operational and scientific benefits that come from the RCN operating so far outside Canada’s territorial waters and own polar region.

Regrettably, I didn’t get to tag along this time.

Halifax International Fleet Week ended on a high note with a sailpast of ships yesterday. Crowds lined the waterfront on both sides from Fairview all the way south. A great day! #hfxfleetweek #warshipphotography #warshipporn #WarshipsIFR #shipphotography
For #OpNanook22, #HMCSMargaretBrooke embarked a combined Canadian/US medical team who participated in the exercise. One year ago today, they were dropped off in Iqualuit to fly home. #warshipsifr #militaryphotography #militarymedics
The March 2023 issue of #WarshipsIFR magazine is now on the shelf at #AtlanticNews in Halifax, with the fourth (and final) part of my piece on being embedded in #HMCSMargaretBrooke during the #RoyalCanadianNavy-led #OpNanook22. Iain Ballantyne was kind enough to put one of my images, of the ships leaving Saglek Fjord in Labrador, on the cover of this issue. If you are interested, check it out! #navy #writing #photography
I’m feeling sad that I missed the extensive Aurora Borealis activity last night, so I might as well share some photos from the only time I have seen it - while onboard @hmcs.ncsm.margaretbrooke during #OpNanook last summer. I don’t know that I did it justice, but wow! #warshipsifr #auroraborealis #canada #canadian #north #arctic #nunavut #photography #ship #shipphotography #seascapephotography
The February issue of #WarshipsIFR magazine is now on shelves in Canada, as seen here at Atlantic News. This issue contains Part 3 of my piece on #OpNanook22 and covers my time spent up north in HMCS Margaret Brooke.
