He is a laugh!

Happy birthday Colin Bell, DFC, 105 today!
Joining the RAF at just 19, Colin served as a #WW2 Mosquito bomber pilot on 50 raids over Nazi Germany. 1 in 3 were killed on these missions that helped force Nazi Germany’s surrender...

No question of it.

As it’s #WorldBookDay2026, Colin’s story is told in #BloodyDangerous.
I’ll be raising a glass to you tonight @colinstuartb , & I’m quite sure you’ll be raising one too!

Try London’s Polish Institute & Sikorski Museum, and Polish Underground Movement Studies Trust, the National Archives at Kew, & in the memoirs held by POSK in Hammersmith?

Absolutely, she has a blue plaque there

Wonderful to mark #InternationalWomensDay (this Sunday) with an event at the #PolishEmbassy , interviewed by @OlgaTopol, curator of Eastern European Lit at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social :)
Thanks to all who came & the Embassy for hosting!

History's Heroes - Eglantyne Jebb Saves The Children - BBC Sounds How a woman’s arrest in Trafalgar Square changed the lives of children around the world.

Introducing the inspirational #EglantyneJebb who perhaps saved more lives than anyone in history!
Eglantyne was the passionate compassionate subject of my first book #TheWomanWhoSavedTheChildren.
Great to tell her story for BBC R4’s #HistoriesHeroes yesterday:

Glad you enjoyed. Eglantyne was my first inspiration!

Oh! I wonder what the programme was? BBC?

Hardback British book cover of Clare Mulley’s Agent Zo

Thank you, & lovely to see the hardback covers there! Might you be interested in #AgentZo after a short break & strong coffee? 📖📕☕️

I recently finished reading 'The Spy Who Loved', by Clare Mulley, and it is a great companion read with her, 'The Women Who Flew For Hitler'. These are fascinating stories and I highly recommend reading both books. #HalifaxAuthor #SecondWorldWarHistory #WomenInWar @claremulley.bsky.social

I rec’d an email from the Imperial War Museum promoting mother’s day gifts. Three top writers and historians, @sarahloumiller.bsky.social @claremulley.bsky.social and Helen Fry (not of this parish). Three great books.

Hey, that’s great to know! Always lovely to see my book with these 2!

Sad to see you go

It was wonderful to be back at the Battle of Britain Bunker, Uxbridge this morning, telling the story of Polish elite special forces resistance soldier #ElżbietaZawacka aka #AgentZo.

As well as the magnificent original bunker command, there is a great exhibition centre telling the story of the courageous men and women, Brits, Poles & others, who served at this pivotal moment. Well worth a visit!

It’s a great cover!

It is fabulous

On this day 2019, up early to see the dawn from the #Reichstag while on a research trip to Berlin…

11.30am start, apologies all!

My mistake - it’s 11.30, thanks!

😂

If you’ve never visited the fascinating #BattleofBritainBunker, Uxbridge, Sat 21 Feb might be a good time…
At 11am, I’ll be telling the extraordinary story of #AgentZo - only woman to parachute Britain > Nazi German occupied Poland during 2WW… & so much more!

Come hear me talk!

Uxbridge, worth a visit
