Blackadder is 42 Years Old Today! On this day 1987 it was the second day of rehearsals for Dish and Dishonesty of Blackadder 3! These are my original scripts with my handwritten notes made at the time! #bbccomedy

My old pal - Loadmaster on the Kings Birthday Flypast A400 yesterday. His last flight, finished this year 43 years after we joined up together back in 82 - he transferred across to the RAF circa 1989

How we used to email… 😆

Oooft Post surgery/early Fathers Day pressies Lucky me!!

I had a seat opposite Susannah York whilst waiting to be picked up from Harrogate General Hospital in 1983

Enjoying watching the Kingd Birthday Parade today. Even though I am an ex Scaley, my first Sgt Major was Scots Guards & RSM was Coldstreamer, so this sort of stuff was a big part of our life as junior soldiers

Found myself still tagged after surgery yesterday !!

It’s #WorldBloodDonorDay !🩸 You don’t need the Force to save lives—just a little time and a generous heart. One donation = up to 3 lives saved. The Empire supports lifesaving missions. Donate blood. Be a real-world hero. #501st #StarWars #DonateBlood #BadGuysDoingGood

OTD 1982 Battle of Tumbledown rages through night. Scots Guards fought Argentine troops at bayonet point along crest & flank of this dragon’s back of a mountain. In 2022 we returned with veterans for first archaeological survey. Read free Falklands War Mapping Project book: shorturl.at/s5LXw

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK was released 44 years ago today. The first Indiana Jones movie and one of Steven Spielberg’s most beloved films, the behind the scenes story is an adventure all of its own… 1/36
