It's #InternationalElephantDay 🐘 This picture is in our digital archive without caption so I can only go by what I am seeing...but I assume this is a photo of a very slow race. My money is on the elephant.

🌞 This is a public service announcement from the RLC Museum 🌞 We have free entry and aircon. That is all. #FeelingHotHotHot #4thHeatwaveoftheYear #BritishSummer

Congratulations to the #Lionesses ⚽ #Euro2025 Here's a #lion from our collections - donated when the Royal Army Ordnance Corps 221 Base Vehicle Depot closed in 1969. Wonder what happened to his little friend?

An artist's impression of what our children's craft area looks like after two full days of the #summerholiday 😂 We wouldn't have it any other way 😍

Tinie? Are you alright pet? It's just that you appear to have lost your actual nose 😬 (Through a quirk of digital capture, if you hit the correct spot on our virtual tour...our dog looks proper weird. Promise, in real life, he's super cute. Visit the tour here - rlcmuseum.com/visit/virtua...)

We're doing a thing! Tickets are on sale via our website now for a BRILLIANT series of #military #history talks held this #autumn in the #museum.

Please hop over to @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social and set them an #emojiday challenge

Just us trying to get through a #Wednesday 😎😂

If you know what this is, you might be old. Wear it as a badge of honour 😎 And if you don't recognise it, this is an eight inch floppy disc that was used with military computers to track supplies and distribution. This one could store a whole 80 kilobytes of data. We've come a long way baby 🎉

Sharing this excellent representation of us when one of our trustees pops in with a 'good idea' for #BlueSkyMonday 😉😂 The photo was actually taken in Afghanistan (not in the Museum office) during Op HERRICK.

It is a miniature pagoda...it is not what you think it is. This is the badge of the Chindit units who were active in Burma in the Second World War. On the left is a 'Chinthe' (Burmese for 'lion') from which the units took their name, and on the right is a little pagoda.

#ThenandNow - Tug of War still very popular in the British Army 😂

I like big trucks and I cannot lie 😎 (this one is from the Falklands)

Feeling #hot, wish we were here 🧊 Where was this wonderful #iceberg photo taken you ask? This shot was taken onboard the QE2, during the voyage to the #Falklands in 1982. The ship's carpets were protected with 2,000 sheets of hardboard and soldiers were asked to wear civilian shoes whilst on board.

20th June: World Productivity Day With displays from Agincourt to today, this fascinating museum gives an insight into how the British Army was moved, supplied & sustained over centuries. Visit the Royal Logistic Corps Museum nr Winchester - royallogisticcorps.co.uk/museum/ @rlcmuseum.bsky.social

*me dealing with my emails on this ragingly hot afternoon* #Boom

Made to write social media posts...would rather be feeding an apple to a horse. Disclaimer - do not feed an apple to this particular horse. His name is Romeo, he will have all of your fingers off, we would 100% forgive him because he is 1) awesome 2) coming to our WW1 horses event this August.

How it started....

*Us trying to make it to the weekend* #ThursdayVibes

The view from here 😍 Welcome to the #Triumph Sports Six Club...can't help but feel a bit sorry for Crispy, watching from his DUKW house as the other vehicles get to play in the sun 🦆

This photo is labelled 'The cheese stores - a batch of New Zealand being dealt with' which I think raises more questions than it answers 🤣 #NationalCheeseDay #InternationalCheeseDay #WW1 #Cheese IWM: Q 34091

*blushes* Aw thanks @barnsleymuseums.bsky.social 😍

Well, #NationalBiscuitDay is upon us (yes really) so here's these. Biscuit Browns are an absolute staple of ration packs for the #BritishArmy... best eaten with a cup of tea.

A pictorial representation of what coming back into the office feels like after a sunny three day #BankHolidayWeekend. It's all uphill innit 😂😭Onwards and upwards, onwards and upwards 💪

It's *checks notes* #InternationalTeaDay 🎉 The British Army takes tea relatively seriously, as one might expect 🧐 This is a WW1 Officer's mess tin set which obviously, OBVIOUSLY, includes a tea diffuser. One would not want to be caught short without proper tea making apparatus 🍵😎

The nurses watch is not the most interesting thing in this photo, which we are sharing for #AlphabetChallenge #WeekTForTime ⌚This is our exhibition Rations for Two: #Maternity in the #Military which explores the changing face of MOD maternity policy and is illustrated by maternity uniform.

Thanks to @maryrosemuseum.bsky.social and @roystonmuseum.bsky.social for flagging up #NationalLimerickDay. Here's ours... At the Corps Museum, quite a delight, Logisticians are shown in full might. With dispatch and with flair, They moved goods through the air, Keeping armies supplied day and night!

😍 Really proud that our curators Sam adn Alex flew the flag (literally and figuratively!) for the Museum at last Thursday's #VEDay concert in London.

Onward noble steed! Check out this banging model #horse #ambulance. We have a legit WW1 version of this in the stores and it is great to see how it would have been used...even if the guy at the back does look a bit like a Thunderbird.

I promised our Collections Team that I wouldn't refer to this as 'the spooky chair' on socials. With that in mind, come and see A COMPLETELY NORMAL CHAIR (once owned by the commandant of WW2 POW camps in Hong Kong) in our new temporary exhibition honouring #VEDay and #VJDay #CompletelyNormalChair

The #OnlineArtExchange this week is all about the orange 🟧 We were a bit strapped for inspo so please enjoy this absolutely gawjus reproduction Marlborough cart with orange canopy which is on display in the museum. It might just be our biggest #art @artukdotorg.bsky.social #BlueSkyArt #artist

Guess who's back, back again, the Rolls is back, tell a friend 😎 This beaut was used by Field Marshal Montgomery after D-Day. She's had her annual service and MOT and she is back in the Museum #WW2 #TheySeeMeRolling #Monty #Beaut

It is #InternationalDanceDay which seems like a great time to share this image of a traditional lion dance taking place in Hong Kong and the same costume on display in the Museum 😍🦁

Signing in for today's @artukdotorg.bsky.social #OnlineArtExchange which celebrates all things #rural in support of @tulliecarlisle.bsky.social 😍 Slightly slim pickings from our archive but I hope you will enjoy this photo of some nice cows. Moo.

The museum phone line is currently not working 😭 If you need to reach us, please email ([email protected]) or message us through social media. Thank you

'What more do you want?' asks this Army recruitment poster from 1920. Can't help but feel that the pun on 'branches' is doing some heavy lifting here 😎 #Museum #PayGood #FoodGood #ProspectsGood

The Royal Logistic Corps Museum will be closed on the 17th and 19th of April as the museum will be without power. We apologise for the late notice - the works have only just been confirmed to us. We intend to be open as usual on Good Friday 18th April.

We are LOVING the breadth of design and creativity shown by families taking part in our #VEDay80 art installation this Easter holiday. These will be going up in the gallery soon, to join the other 500 pieces of bunting already fluttering over the WW2 cases.

The largest installation since the museum was opened in 2021 is currently on display...and growing 😎 Pop in this Easter holiday and create a bunting flag to add to our display in honour of the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, VJ Day and the end of the Second World War.

Truly very honoured to share this today - as the #museum begins to mark #VEDay and #VJDay 80, we have worked with 500 local children to create bunting for the gallery. This installation - the largest since the museum opened - will grow as visitors add to it during the Spring and Summer.

I don't think anyone was taken in by our #AprilFool 😂 We are sure that Crispy would LOVE his own pond, but he is quite happy in his purpose-built DUKW house and we are taking good care of him. Come and visit him, entrance is free (donations are welcomed!)

The Museum was recently contacted by a wildlife charity who were concerned that we are keeping an elderly DUKW indoors, with no access to water. This is, naturally, inhumane. To rectify this terrible mistake, our trustees have commissioned the building of a £1.5mil DUKW pond outside the museum 1/2
