Happy 101st Birthday to Casey! What a guy!

Lovely day with @polish_heritage_flight are raising funds to take their fab Hurricane over to Poland in the summer, so please do contribute if you can! Great to photograph events of the day, making memories for some lucky young people exploring the cockpit of the Hurricane!

Normandy Fields. Taken on the path that the 1st Battalion, Suffolk Regiment took on their way to the Hillman Strongpoint.

A late afternoon aerial shot of Belas Knap, a 5,500 year old Neolithic Long Barrow, in the Cotswolds. 38 skeletons were discovered inside, protected by false entrances, possibly to deter robbers, or the false entrance may be seen as a ‘spirit door’, intended to allow the dead to come and go.

Did a thing in NYC. Think I'm the only family to have visited John W Bertie, my GGGrandfather. Train from Grand Central > Valhalla to Kensico Cemetery. The team there located headstone with the map drawn on cloth. Joined the 1st US Army Vol. Engineers. Died in 1906. Quite moving.

@thelowlander.bsky.social A glorious little podcast that sees me through a steady 5k on the rowing machine.... lovely stuff 👏😂

A super talk by Henry Montgomery, 3rd Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, Grandson of General Montgomery at Sidbury Church this afternoon.

Watching @spitfiresdotcom The Silver Spitfire documentary on @tvsky.bsky.social . What an outstanding effort, a very special aircraft, and superb teamwork! #spitfires

Heavy & disturbed ground meant the search for Spitfire AD183 flown by AVM Black Robertson's father, revealed only small fragments. It was lovely though, that Black was the first person to hold them. Pieces included the wing leading edge by the gunport & the rear of the rev counter.

Off to find a buried Spitfire! 🤞

What a pleasure it was to finally meet this lovely lady! I think @normagraham.bsky.social is up there for contender for 'nicest person in the IC'...... there's a lot of competition though!

One of the special things about @WeHaveWaysPod Festival is moments like these, where the chance to say a personal thanks comes along....

Old Divisions. There always seems to be division somewhere.... #Berlin
