Your country was colonised by people arriving in boats! Cast your eye over a history book once and a while Sir. To make such a speech today - disgraceful! BBC News - Hegseth attacks Europe over 'invasion' of migrants on its beaches in D-Day speech www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I know the D-Day commemoration r somewhat muted this yr, but hav thought a lot about my Great Uncle Benjamin Talbott 2day. Was very fortunate 2 be able 2 pay my respects in April. @istoriatravel.bsky.social were great & very patient with us. We must never forget them. #DDAY82 #WeHaveWays

Nothing says "Happy Friday" more than when the Red Arrows fly over your house!

Wow! Just...well..wow

Reading @jessphillips letter of resignation the MP does make some pertinent points about the current Leadership that make a lot of sense. And im not in the "Starmer Out" camp #Labour #UKGovt #KeirStarmer

Just been and voted. Good to see a queue at our Polling Station & walking back to the house passing quite a few people on their way to vote with ballot cards in hand. Peterborough has history of very low voter turnout so not getting my hopes up just yet. #LocalElections #Mayelections

'Protecting what matters': a new government policy paper identifies history as central to social cohesion. At the same time, history teaching and research, in our schools and universities, is at risk as never before. To ensure cohesion, we must protect what matters: bit.ly/3QyZQCO #skystorians

First day back in the office and not going to lie am missing those rolling green fields of Normandy. Thanks again @alexchurchill.bsky.social @istoriatravel.bsky.social @seaspitfires.com for an incredible battlefield tour & 4 allowing us 2 pay our respects 2 a family member who fell on D-Day.

Day 3 of "SWORD" tour. One of the highlights was seeing strongpoint HILLMAN" that was assaulted by 1st Suffolks. Superb detail throughout the day by @seaspitfires.com @alexchurchill.bsky.social @istoriatravel.bsky.social #WeHaveWays

A great many countries could learn from Spain.

Day 2 of "SWORD" tour today and was Commando day. French and English Commandos. Excellent again from @seaspitfires.com @alexchurchill.bsky.social @istoriatravel.bsky.social #DDay #WeHaveWays

Superb first day on "Sword" tour with @istoriatravel.bsky.social @alexchurchill.bsky.social & @seaspitfires.com excellent...Piper Bill Millin's stature is in the wrong place!!

What an incredible film @projecthailmary.bsky.social is!! Incredible. Visually stunning. #RyanGosling #ProjectHailMary

A unique experience for us tonight. Finally seeing a live launch of a rocket going to the Moon. Not landing on the Moon I know, but still...what a moment! Inspirational. #ArtemisII #Nasa

That’s one hell of a cover…..

If the US war on Iran ends up with the Iranian regime still in power and Iran able to charge tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, it will be the quickest and most comprehensive defeat that the US has ever suffered—and alarms bells should start ringing loudly about the future of US power.

Get someone who looks at you the way I look at Barnes Wallis' marbles! (the ones owned by his daughter which he used to refine the 'bouncing bomb' for Op CHASTISE). Pop over to Denhams auction house (Horsham) on Wed 25th March to bid on the amazing Sir Barnes Wallis Collection!

Interesting Hegesth's press conference and how he frames military power. "Iran has no functioning air force, air defence or Navy." Afghanistan didnt have these neither did Hamas. Be careful how you define military success. Air power can do so much #Iran #MiddleEast

Happy Friday guys! We made it...feels this week has been a little longer than the last few.

History lesson. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid until 1917. Our once great ally didn't come to our aid again until 1941.

Hmmm...wonder what caused the Iranian Naval vessel to sink? Man-made object perhaps?

5 years. Say her name: Sarah Everard

Brazilian mathematician Marília Chaves Peixoto was born 106 years ago today. She was the first Brazilian woman to earn a PhD in math, the 1st to be inducted into the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and was, during her short life, an important researcher on structural stability. #WomenInSTEM #MathSky

Made second batch of Grenola last yesterday. Left it "lid-off" overnight. Will take a look later and report back...

Interesting hobbyist @reformexposed.bsky.social

Take nothing away from that Italian performance score flattered France. 10 minutes left in the 2nd half & they were pretty close. Lynagh's yellow card for a supposed deliberate knock-on I thought was harsh!! #FRAvITA #6Nations

Very interesting article. Interesting how atrocities committed by the Nazis during WW2 are both commemorated and incorporated into national memory. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

This really is a great picture:

@navalairhistory.com Any chance of a "follow"? Would like to get in touch about a couple of subjects on Naval Air. Many thanks

Come on @theobserveruk.bsky.social you can surely do better than this! A 5-page article on sticking goggles eyes on various things!!?? FIVE PAGES!!!! ONE SEVENTH OF THE MAGAZINE??? COME ON #TheObserver #SundayPapers

Holocaust Memorial Day. Never EVER forget what happened. #Holocaust #Nazis #Fascism

"The most striking thing to me is that the the officer pushes a woman onto the ground and the man is trying to protect her from them and help her up when they tackle him and then shoot him. It’s one of the most upsetting things I’ve ever seen happen in America." It will only get worse.

What a film Hamnet is! Quite brilliant acting from Jessie Buckley. A seminal performance. Oscar-worthy. Wonderful music from Max Richter too. #Hamnet

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

Beautifully put! #Davos2026 #Greenland

Interesting. Allies very much on the front foot by this point in the War. Did they have access to white camouflage fatigues? Genuinely interested #WeHaveWays #WarWaffle

@normagraham.bsky.social loving Carney's Davos speech: "Middle Powers must act together because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu". #Davos2026

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that." -MLK As always, Dr. King's message is right on time. Today calls on all of us to hear his wisdom and put it into action.

Excellent article! Chapeaux Francesa Jones!! www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/j...

Just finished this. Excellent listen as always @dienekes.bsky.social . Fascinating to educate myself on an area that I still no relatively little about. Next Masters Module should remedy this. Thanks Prit! #militaryhistory open.spotify.com/episode/4yg4...
