I visited two totally different museums yesterday. The Wellington Museum in Moreton-in-Marsh, and the nuclear bunker at Broadway Tower. A thought out narrative and the personal touch from a volunteer called Kevin who was in The ROC wins for me.

Les Rutherford was a despatch rider and was rescued after paddling out to sea from St Valery (not Dunkirk) on a barn door. His story is amazing; he went on to fly ops as a bomb aimer and became a prisoner of war in December 1943. #Dunkirk #WW2 #History

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy. This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

I'm watching the Parliamentary debate about the self-ID e-petition and my JAW IS ON THE FLOOR. The MPs speaking are hitting ALL the key pro-trans talking points: - transphobic bias in EHRC - nightmare of SC ruling - toilet bans are awful - must hear trans voices - IGLA rainbow map 1/

Gardening was much more important to the war effort than the dams raid. Shock horror! Buy @lydiajane13.bsky.social's book to find out why folks!

On this, the anniversary of the famous 617 Squadrons' famous Dam Busters famous raid on the famous dams why not treat your self to a 1:72 diecast scale model of the famous B-17 bomber, a B-25J Mitchell, or a even a toy Tonka?

The @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social contains 40,000 items. Only 78 are tagged 'Eder Möhne and Sorpe operation (16–17 May 1943)', and only 105 are tagged 'Gibson, Guy Penrose (1918-1944).' There's more to Bomber Command than one op, one squadron, and one aircraft type. @nmtdambusters.bsky.social

Hello all! As mentioned previously, this free RAF Museum #Cosford hybrid lecture on #EagleDays has changed to 26th August due to the site moving aircraft around. New link is here (ignore the original date on the graphic). See you there, Midlands crew! ♥️ www.rafmuseum.org.uk/midlands/wha...

I'm very much looking forward to chatting with @spitfirefilly.bsky.social tomorrow evening about her new book, Eagle Days. I've read it and think you'll all like it a lot! The plan is a simulcast with @ww2tv.bsky.social on both our channels, which should prove technically interesting at the least.
