Great to see @GWAS1914_1918 have shared in their recent Wind in the Wires newsletter the story of Old Sarum & the demise of the Grade II* Listed WW1 hangar. Much like #Crookedhouse, this hangar deserves to be rebuilt but not at the expense of this historic aerodrome to housing!
Excellent Zoom talk about the FE2b tonight, with some really interesting photographs. Thanks to Paul R Hare for sharing his knowledge, and to @GWAS1914_1918 for organising 😁
Patricia Edwina Victoria Knatchbull, 2nd Countess Mountbatten of Burma, was born #OnThisDay in 1924. This ‘Kestos’ style bra and tap pants ensemble was created from silk crêpe ‘Escape’ maps gifted to Patricia by her RAF sweetheart and sewn by her seamstress @TheUPMuseum #lingerie

@GWAS1914_1918 Done my bit. The calendar arrived last Friday and an excellent publication as always! I’m envious of the 12 talented artists who provide the paintings. Keep up the good work.
TAH45 is officially out now! Battle of the Bismarck Sea, Vickers machine-gun (stunning tech graphics from @ian_bott_artist), USAF exchange Harrier pilot, plus much more. Here is the front cover, and the contents page. For previews and further info visit theaviationhistorian.com
@Sprucey_1969 @DrabkinRon @GWAS1914_1918 @ZeppRaider In terms of the experience, there's also books like Early Bird by WG Moore
@Sprucey_1969 @DrabkinRon @GWAS1914_1918 @ZeppRaider There is an Air Britain book, I think it's called something like 'Developments in shipboard flight' (I can't see my copy right now) that goes into detail on several of those areas
His name is Bleriot, to England he will go. Learn his fantastic story and the (sometimes gruesome) history of flight. Visit #HorribleHistories Up in the Air Adventure at ow.ly/KoFt50OIIgQ

If you happen to be in North Kent on Fri 12 May, I’m giving a talk at the Sheppey Little Theatre in Sheerness - First World War air raids on the Isle of Sheppey – Zeppelins, Gothas, Giants and the odd floatplane! Starts 7.30pm, £5 at door. @penswordbooks @TimesGuardian
Huge thanks to Jon Guttman for a fabulous Leaman Lecture! If you enjoyed the talk, you might also enjoy this film which shows Austro-Hungarian flying boats being launched: filmportal.de/video/weltkrie…
We're so close to 20,000 followers! Thank you for all the support over the years. Onwards!
@GWAS1914_1918 @ThisDayInWWI It's not like the idea went away post WWII. The Brits tried it because their WWII carriers weren't suitable for the early jets. This didn't go into production it still was a flying boat fighter.
