I've been made aware this would not be a resolution for me ... though as of 31 December 2025 I don't have the uniforms / costumes.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains

Currently watching the Celtics/Lakers: The Best of Enemies documentary on ESPN (via Disney+) and seeing interviews with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I can only think of this scene in Airplane... www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSi6...

Today's historic pic: Exactly 40 years ago today, after completing its afternoon run from Sydney, the Riverina XPT shunts from the station to a stabling siding at Albury, NSW, December 21 1985. The Riverina XPT last ran in 1994, but since then, daylight XPTs have run through from Sydney to Melbourne

Post a movie where you are from

If you see this, QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood.

A digital copy of the most recent issue of 'Sabretache' arrived in my email this afternoon. It includes a paper I submitted in July regarding the loss and wreck of RAAF P-43 Lancer A56-7...

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

Cooking chowder for the first time tonight. And OMFG! 😲

Post your favorite Star Trek character. Wrong answers only.

Is the ADF-Serials website still running? I've been receiving various errors for months now, while those pages I can access appear to be years old. I was under the impression that an MoU had been signed between the website organisers and the ADF, so I'm a tad concerned about future citations etc.

Another paper completed and just about ready to be sent to a journal for potential publication in 2026 or 2027. This one has been in the works for almost 5 years and includes known details about the loss of an Empire Flying Boat and an Avro Anson.

Currently rewatching 'Patton' (1970) for the first time in quite a few years. #SaturdayNightIn

Why is it that when someone calls a dog a fur baby it's considered cute, but when I call a baby a skin dog I'm the weird one?!

I haven't watched many Formula 1 races live over the past few years, but that would have to be one of the best Grands Prix I've seen in a long time!

A recent arrival from Canada - an envelope that was supposedly flown aboard the final, fatal, flight of KLM's DC-2 "Uiver" in December 1934. Pinging @philthyavnurd.bsky.social, @jdkightly.bsky.social, and @tashheap.bsky.social.

Just a little reminder folks. We cease trading at the Mawson shop 3.00 1 November. There's still plenty of stock available: military, fiction, aboriginal history, fishing etc. So last chance (almost) to visit. BTW: we've put our website inventory on vacation pro tem. We'll reinstate ... SOON!

Just putting it out there again...

A few additions to the stash this week, including the B-24D I hope to complete for #HeaviesGB. I thought I already had one in the stash, but it appears I did not.

Call for Papers closes on 31 October! Further information can be found at the URL below: aviationcultures.org/spotlights/p...

Picked up some snacks for Halloween. If you don't get the reference then watch 'The Burbs' ... "Sardine?"

Received a letter from the ADF's Directorate of Honours and Awards today. It specified the medals my grandfather's cousin qualified for while serving with the RAAF... * Defence Medal * War Medal 1939-45 * Australia Service Medal 1939-45 * Australian Service Medal 1945-75 with 'PNG' Clasp

10/16/1915 — b. Nancy Bird Walton, Australian aviator, philanthropist. The “Angel of the Outback”; founder, Australian Women Pilots Assn; the first female pilot in Australia to carry passengers (1935), operated an air ambulance in the outback of New South Wales #womenshistory #WomenInSTEM #aviation

Seeing all the great builds for #HeaviesGB, I'm really thinking of pulling something out of the stash in the next week to join in. Sure, it may never be completed in time, but I'm feeling the need to get back into the game.

Just sat down to watch the new documentary on the Battle of Buna - a site which I visited in 2005 and 2006 and have always had a bit of an obsession with. Thanks to @pacificwrecks.bsky.social for sharing the link... www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c7y... #PapuaNewGuinea #WWII #WW2 #SWW

Recently ordered a physical (DVD) copy of the de Havilland Tiger Moth expansion for Microsoft Flight Simulator X by @justflight.com. Mainly because of the two RAAF liveries. But I only just noticed that credit for the front photograph is given to old mate, @philthyavnurd.bsky.social!

The Trump administration has ordered FBI employees in Washington, DC, to immediately search their workstations and digital media for any records pertaining to the disappearance of Amelia Earhart, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Just realised that 28 Nov. marks 25 years since my visit to the wreck of Beaufort A9-228 in NE Vic (pictured). It was the first of many wrecks I've now visited. At that time Darby's 'Pacific Aircraft Wrecks' was just over 20 years old and @pacificwrecks.bsky.social was just over 5 years old.

I've been made aware that my two papers published in the Military Historical Society's Journal, 'Sabretache', are now available online. The first covers the loss and wreck of RAAF Boston A28-20 near Gona in November 1942. See Vol. LXII, No. 2, pp. 32-40 www.mhsa.org.au/wp-content/u...

Yesterday I walked in on my partner and her son watching a documentary about the Battle of Britain. I spotted @spitfirefilly.bsky.social being interviewed and just commented, "Oh, hi, Victoria!" He lost his mind when he learnt I'd chatted with a historian who was on the TV in front of him. 😂
