Thank God Trump wasn’t US President in the 1940s, Hitler would have continued to occupy Europe.

This is what you have to look forward to next year… Which reminds me I’ve been meaning to ask @jamesbarr.bsky.social if he’d like to put something in the last of those!

Members like lovely Russ get four of these a year as a member. The theme always covers about 35-40%, the rest is a mix of subjects. This year they’ve also had a magazine with the broad remit of ‘Belgium’
All of our back issues are available on the website…

Hi Chris, the walks will re-start next May, with 9 walks planned between May & October. The walk last Saturday was an extra due to demand. Keep an eye on Greenham Tower website in the new year for dates!

I’ll have to rewatch it to pick up on the Sagittarius Rising nuance (it is years since I last saw it). I liked Christopher Plummer as Uncle.

Aces High is just an aviation rework of Journey’s End, but a good movie. Going further back The Blue Max is okay. I think there may be a more recent film on Richthofen.
