The new @AvHistorian is out (which you have to buy and subscribe to!) and there is a lovely letter calling back to the article I wrote with @ian_bott_artist in TAH41 on the RP-3 Rocket. The mighty Buccaneer was still firing RP-3s in the 70s.

Issue 47 of @AvHistorian is out today, Apr 15, and includes a new set of artworks by me taking a deep dive into the components and operation of the Lewis Gun. The illustrations accompany a great article by Mark Russell about the history of the weapon in RAF usage
Jimmy Catanach's Wings parade was on 15 April 1941: 83 years ago. He was smiling broadly in his course photo: it was a proud moment. Later, he became the pride of his squadron. Three years after his parade he was dead. Read all about it in @AvHistorian #47 theaviationhistorian.com/index.htm
My article is included in that '& more': 'One of the most poignant–& shocking–articles we've ever published is Kristen Alexander's chronicle of the flying life & brutal death of RAAF Hampden pilot Jimmy Catanach'. I can't wait to see it. Thanks @AvHistorian for publishing it.

RAF Tornados practise low flying in this 1986 RAF film, 'Up in the Air'. The film's purpose is to demonstrate how the RAF can counter the threat posed by the Soviet Union. You can watch it in full on our website: bit.ly/3uwgVlD © Crown copyright. IWM (MIL 434H)
Staff and volunteers are working through winter maintenance on our Lancaster in anticipation of a busy 2024 commemorating the RCAF's 100th Anniversary.
EPA's ski equipped Beaver preparing for departure on Deadmans' Pond at Gander during winter c 1969. This location was an ideal water aerodrome 1 km south of R05-23 & considered as part of the airport under the control of the tower.
TAH46 is officially published today! Articles include: why no bang-seats for V-force rear crew? America's commercial chopperators; the Paveway laser-guided bomb; Australia's "TSR.2" — the CA.23; the British Army's "Jumping Jeep" concepts, and so much more. theaviationhistorian.com
With many thanks to the team at @AppleTV, I will be covering the launch of Masters of the Air! We will do a spoiler-free review of the series on launch and mini-episodes to drop each week, looking at that week's tale of the Bloody 100th. I hope you will join us.
The power of good reviews! More orders for Kriegies to post off (signed, of course).
