@DrHelenFry @YaleBooks Look forward to reading your book Helen. I feel a (very) slight connection to her having viewed Mt Edith Cavell in western Canada and often walk past the blue plaque at her address in Clevedon, North Somerset.

@CoastCams247 @BeachCamsMan Pic 2 for me - the water surface does it.

@CoastCams247 @BeachCamsMan North Somerset this morning - a few heavy showers during the night, now (06.30) overcast and 16C but sunny conditions later. Lovely coast view with your post.

@Knowledgepoint As the eldest, it was my job to ‘run down to the oil shop’ to get our Esso Blue paraffin can filled during the winter months.

@scottiebateman How about a Viscount with those big ‘porthole’ windows in the passenger cabin and a nice turboprop whine.

@hoyer_kat A particularly interesting episode. Clearly a complex issue but I did, just about, manage to hang on to the thread. Thank you both.

@TheBishF1 @Brands_Hatch Lovely to read this Matt. I was in the crowd on that day leaning over the somewhat flimsy spectator fencing at the exit from Druids.

@RDPHistory I think if you can spare the time to make YT content on your subject it would be well received especially if you were able to cover various different aspects. The political and background side of your X posts are always intriguing & informative. I would certainly subscribe.

@BritishArmyWDs Interesting photo. I've read in detail WD of 139LAA Reg - it mirrors that of 120LAA for that part of June 44 (including poor weather) but has quite a bit more detail. 139's Bofors and crews were on Landing Barges (Flak) - converted Thames barges.

@seatsixtyone Do you have any thoughts on how this might affect the already cramped, overcrowded departure areas? My recent experience of this issue was at St Pancras & Rotterdam Centraal.

@wtbattlefields Fun fact Phil - in 1961 I was one of 1000 school kids who disembarked at Folkestone Harbour Station for the ferry to Boulogne. A day trip by my school via steam hauled charter train - headmaster was very pro-Europe having fought through Normandy into Germany. No Greek eatery tho!

@PDC_Services @BritishArmyWDs I was pleased with myself for walking down the Cavendish Rd in 2019 so very impressed that you walked up! A tough route. Fascinating area to explore.

@ypreswoman I have a distant & obscure railway connection with Solférino. Working in Paris, each work day I took the Metro from Solferino station. OK, OK - Solferino Farm is in Belgium, Solferino station in Paris & marks an 1859 France v Austria battle in Italy. I did say it was obscure!
