This year, I will be going fully freelance - with no institutional income - for the first time in my career! If you are a fan of my work, I'd be very touched if you would consider making a donation towards the creation of my aviation history content ✈ buymeacoffee.com/spitfirefilly
Another splendid evening of west country waffle with the Bristol I/C @WeHaveWaysPod
Great day out with the Bristol IC @njg330 @YanksinBristol @WessexWorld Day trip to raf cosford, a great day out
Aerospace Bristol would like to say a happy 100th birthday to Bill Eggleton. 🤩🥳 Bill, who joined the Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1948, was part of the team that designed and developed the Olympus engine, that went on to power Concorde.
As is well-known, black and white GIs were largely segregated in the US Army during the Second World War. One place this didn't happen was for patients at the 74th General Hospital based at Tyntesfield near Bristol, a deliberate policy of their CO, Colonel Tepperson.

As it's Valentine's Day, here's the most romantic Anglo-American story I've found for Bristol! yanksinbristol.co.uk/merle-hagerman…
Another little nugget from this book: around 100,000 GIs were billeted across south and southwest England resulting in complaints in only 0.1% of cases.
Another little nugget from this book: around 100,000 GIs were billeted across south and southwest England resulting in complaints in only 0.1% of cases.
Anglo-American relations fact of the day: A quarter of the letters written by GIs from Normandy were sent to British homes - to girlfriends, former billet hosts and new friends. Reading this excellent book at the moment.
…tframe.historicenglandservices.org.uk/p/EAW015070/f2… via @HE_Archive Great image showing the remains of the US Army AFV compound on the Downs in 1948 with the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the background.
Sounds like some Bristolians weren't too keen on the US Army in the city. Apparently this perma-graffitied rock on the Avon Gorge once had 'Yanks go home' daubed on it and was visible into the 1950s. Unfortunately, I can't find photographic evidence.
Could my followers please RT this? It's so important that the experiences of marginalised voices are now heard.

Behind the scenes during the making of The Longest Day. Lord Lovat and John Howard talk to their on-screen selves, Peter Lawford and Richard Todd, and Sean Connery has his arm dressed. Selection from © IWM WOY iwm.org.uk/collections/it…
Just finishing reading this brilliant book by a toilet attendant who befriended the 'working girls' on the Downs from the 30s to 60s. It's being rereleased soon and is a completely different history of Bristol. Only a little about the US Army in WW2 and not complimentary!
It is incredible that so much of the route of Bristol’s medieval city wall remains. Find out more by coming on one of my walking tours: yuup.co/experiences/ex…
Interesting thought thanks. The first photo is mostly field artillery but the second is trucks (I've been told I'm not allowed to share the photo!). The notes were written by the photographer so it could be that there was UNRRA kit there.
Can anyone interpret these captions? Helping someone catalogue photos from Avonmouth Docks. From 1946 showing @USArmy military equipment being shipped back. Captions appear to say 'Guns Hurra' and 'Hurra Cargo'. What does 'Hurra' mean? No success with googling!
HMS Cossack as drawn by my late godfather in 1943 when aged 13. Found it in my grandmother's 'autograph' book yesterday. Given it was torpedoed and sank in 1941, I guess he must have drawn it from this very photo (found on Wikipedia).
If you find the role of #WW2 #spy #pigeons fascinating, then why not read my novel, #NotTheWorkOfAnOrdinaryBoy! A British spy pigeon falls into enemy hands in Occupied France, but what if it’s a boon for British Intelligence? Here’s me reading a bit to my mates. #ReadToAnimals
During #WW2 the Clifton Rocks funicular railway in Bristol was repurposed as an air raid shelter. Benches were placed across the tracks and blast walls were installed to increase protection. Thanks to Chris Bull for the images (from Facebook).
