Hello ! Episode 63 is out today. @alanallport.bsky.social discusses his new book Advance Britannia, and the changing role of Bomber Command from 1943. www.buzzsprout.com/2327200/epis...

Wonderful to hear @alanallport.bsky.social as @lydiajane13.bsky.social’s guest on @nmtdambusters.bsky.social … a couple of northern accents on a podcast too. Lovely.

Agreed - another belter-banger from @nmtdambusters.bsky.social, and more than deserving of a wee map.

Such a fascinating episode to record. Hope you enjoy it!

Day of days. Below, part of the map approved by SS-Sturmbannführer Max Jesuiter, Chief of Staff, Warsaw SS - the basis on which boundaries for the ghetto were agreed.

After some consideration, the synthesis I have settled on is Starmer is bad and cynical for shamelessly pulling strings to block a rival, Burnham is bad and cynical for being ready to risk a Reform mayor in Greater Manchester for his own ambition, and it is time at last for chaos with Ed Miliband.

Just in case Mark Knopfler was worried 😂

Loved recording this episode. The Mozzie was one HELL of an aircraft.

Excited to be starting my Norwegian language course at the University of Westminster today.

My little ray of sunshine

A Mossie-tastic pod from @nmtdmbusters.bsky.social. A remarkable aeroplane. And I’m a Spitfire fanboy. @lydiajane13.bsky.social @jamesjhistory.bsky.social

@lydiajane13.bsky.social someone in your sphere of interest minesweeping in Norway very proactive very ruthless and a loose cannon His minesweeping force was called Tigerverband and he developed his own tiny minesweeper and midget submarine #navalhistory

Finland will send two soldiers to Greenland. Apparently that will be enough.

My latest Legion Magazine article is an interview with historian Jane Gulliford Lowes (@lydiajane13.bsky.social), detailing the story of Bomber Command’s mine-laying, or "gardening," operations in WW II—including Canadian efforts. legionmagazine.com/historian-ja... 📸Courtesy Jane Gulliford Lowes

This is such a good episode - our guest Jonathan Falconer is so knowledgeable.

#Historybookchat Been updating my website a bit ...Lord knows it was well overdue! Now you can find info about all my books and articles in one place. Any feedback gratefully received! justcuriousjane.com/about-contact/

American friends...many of us over here in the UK are bewildered, frustrated, and quite frankly, a bit scared at the current situation. What can we do to support you? Are there any constructive ways we can help?

Good morning! We're back with Series 4. Listen to our discussion with Greg Kopchuck on the Canadian contribution to Bomber Command, & 429 Sqn. www.buzzsprout.com/2327200/epis...

No snow here yet, but it's so cold the river and waterfalls have frozen. What a blissful few days we've had here in the Dales.

Great to have @nmtdambusters.bsky.social back … sorry that @jamesjhistory.bsky.social has been poorly but lovely to hear @danellin.bsky.social joining @lydiajane13.bsky.social

Series 4 of @nmtdambusters.bsky.social is back today for our paid subscribers, and for everyone else on Wednesday 7th! We start the new series chatting to Greg Kopchuck about Canadians in Bomber Command, & 429 Bison Sqn in particular.

"Yorkshire? Completed it mate."

Happy New Year from the Yorkshire Dales! 2025 was...eventful! Wonder what 2026 brings?

@danellin.bsky.social's review of @lydiajane13.bsky.social 's wizard book @nmtdambusters.bsky.social

The Bomber Command book of the year in my opinion #histbookchat #history #WW2

Finally got round to writing a blog post about The Invisible Campaign... www.justcuriousjane.com/invisible-ca...

Bracing Boxing Day walk in the countryside around Allendale Town, turkey & cranberry sandwiches en route. Met these lovely girls too. Now back home in front of a log fire eating panettone and watching the Italian Job 👌🏼

Here's a little thing I wrote a while back about Christmas in the 1970s and 1980s, in a small town in North East England. Hope this brings back some memories for some of you! www.justcuriousjane.com/seaham-part-...

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas and New Year. Thank you for reading my work and supporting @nmtdambusters.bsky.social, which will be returning on January 7th (Series 4!) For those who don't celebrate, may you find peace, joy and happiness in the coming year.

Rather disappointed with the new "Amadeus"... A lacklustre imitation of the magnificent original. And where's all the music? The soundtrack in the original film was EXQUISITE.

Looking forward to getting back to it for series 4 🙂 I am absent for the first few episodes because of my recent lurgy but I will be back!
