Marvellous, glad to have you on board...permanently

Furious Speed @shuttleworthtru.bsky.social Race Day

Oh this will be good

Finally the famous Mosquito together with a couple of TI bombs. I had never noticed these before, because they were basically flares I always thought they would be small. I was wrong. 7/7

The Lancaster, I love this example, S-Sugar is one of the earliest aircraft I can remember seeing. But wy does nobody ever talk about it?? :) 6/7

The Fairey Battle, a failure but flown by brave men and the aircraft in which Richard Shuttleworth died at RAF Benson 5/7

You can't have too much Halifax, including a glimpse inside 4/7

Now the Halifax, for years I thought this should be restored, but I have changed my mind. To do so would lose too much of the original structure and take away its relevance. 3/7

More Hampden including a look inside and a before and after, plus a cheeky bit of Stirling 2/7

The first in a short series of posts from the RAF Museum in honour of the @nmtdambusters.bsky.social Pod. First the stalwart of the early Gardening operations, the Handley Page Hampden (complete with battle damage) @jamesjhistory.bsky.social @lydiajane13.bsky.social 1/7

Condolences Paul, its horrible when a good mate goes.

His two talks on WW2TV weren’t very good.

Yes, I guess it takes time. I think they were always going to as the first one up was the RAF Ensign apparently. Thought provoking with was the intention of the talk.

Following on from your excellent talk at WHWF @danellin.bsky.social @marybrazier.bsky.social the Lancaster has a number of flags in on it representing the nationality of the crew and the RAF ensign (not my photo obvs). Not all flags are bad but upside down Union Jacks are a giveaway

Sad times but good to take a year off

Have a great weekend, see you next week. Get yourself to Shuttleworth!

See you there, I will be the one in a loud shirt!

And they would probably be more interesting

100% asshole but also courageous as fuck

Whirlwind

Just ordered, went controversial because I will wear it at work and it will probably pi$$ some people off.
