#Normandy On June 6th, while thousand of men of the British 6th Airborne jumped over Normandy, hundred will get dropped off target. Of them, about 20 were sheltered by the Vermughen family near Cabourg. Who were they ? I tried to compile a list. Thread
Today we have been @IWMDuxford to surprise WWII veteran Bill Gladden with a replacement set of medals which veteran Ben Meade who met Bill on our trip to Normandy arranged. Thank you to the Duxford team for all your help to make this such a success
HAPPY 100 BIRTHDAY Today WWII veteran Roy Cadman is 100. Some of our volunteers will be helping him to celebrate his birthday this afternoon. A very happy birthday Roy.
Landed safely at the brilliant Army Flying Museum today. Debussed into the archives to join @Persistive in some Ops Normal research. There may have been some GPR chat too...exciting GPR project in the wind.

@books2cover @SabrestormBooks Ordered mine last week.
Been doing some overtime, so just treated myself to Neil's book from @SabrestormBooks website. *All pre-ordered copies will be signed! #HistoryBookChat
Research and analysis spanning 20 years have gone into the production of Pegasus Bridge, which will be published in late May (£30). Pre-order is available via Sabrestorm Publishing - ISBN 9781781220269. Sabrestorm.com/contact-us/. #pegasusbridge
An amazing send off from all our friends in the Netherlands. We are leaving with our hearts full of the gratitude the Dutch shower upon their liberators.
But a shame - if it is correct - that private operators of historic aircraft have been given notice to quit DX and that this has led to one organisation currently offering its entire collection of historic military aircraft for sale.
After 204 days, air shows are back @IWMDuxford. An amazing 2024 season in prospect.
The clock is ticking down to the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. We are lucky enough to be staying and displaying at Merville Battery all week of the commemorations with our fellow living history groups, and we are really looking forward to it. Hope to see you there! #Normandy80th
There have been no democratic elections in Gaza for nearly 20 years, yet Gaza is being voted on in English towns and cities. What a mess we have allowed ourselves to become.
I have predicted sectarian politics in the UK for some time now. Well, here it is for all to see.
Many good people genuinely ask how a mayor with this record could get elected. Even taxi drivers who usually have their ear to the ground have asked me over the past month - ‘surely he can’t get in again?’ To which I would say: you’ve got to wise up. His victory was never…
So after all that Sadiq Khan is looking to have smashed Susan Hall. Who is voting for a man with such an appalling record? I’m feeling pretty sick of feeling so unsafe in my own city.
Yesterday evening I headed out onto the Operation Charnwood battlefield with @seanboy_50 and @Kormin_. For the first time I head actually into Lebisey Wood to see what I could find. I have always skirted around it more to the frontline but last night we decided to have a look…
@Barber1944 Thank you Neil. My initial attempt to order failed. However Ian Bayley quickly rectified the problem. I've successfully preordered now from sabrestorm.com/book-item/pega…
This mornings visit to the Grand Blockhaus. Luc and Marcs new exhibit within is quite something special! Dredged up last year in the docks of St Nazaire, this is one of the door from HMS Campbeltown from Operation Chariot. One of those wow factors considering the only other…
@Barber1944 It just when I read his works I get the impression he was very US biased. I suppose it’s natural ? I would say he is as an author in the Ernest King school of Anglophilia.
@Barber1944 Looking forward to, I was captivated by Ambrose account as youngster but as I got older realised Ambrose was… well. let’s just say no longer to my taste.
@Barber1944 Usual story Neil, rarely said a word about it when I was a nipper and asking the “what did you do in the war dad?” questions. It was only after he’d gone that I pieced it together… Sgt in 7 para, dropped into Ranville, did the Pegasus job, Bob’s Farm etc. Astonishing. My hero.
@Barber1944 @HistorianBlood @WW2TV Have you found much on the German garrison? Ambrose seems to have created Maj. Hans Schmidt, or at least invented those details
@Barber1944 @SOFOtrust The one on the 23rd is being live-streamed but the other on the 30th (with Ingram Murray) is in person only
@Barber1944 My old man was there in 7 Para. Really looking forward to this Neil. Best of luck with it.
@Barber1944 20 years of research & analysis!!!! What incredible devotion to a subject
