NEVER MIND THE DAMBUSTERS

I wrote Invisible Campaign in 6 months (though I did spend the previous 3 years researching it).

Fascinating new pod from @nmtdambusters.bsky.social @lydiajane13.bsky.social and @jamesjhistory.bsky.social. A look at problems faced by the USAAF. My pic of Sally B.

No heckling mind ! 😂

Jane's really looking forward to this! Audience participation required!

Glad you enjoyed it Luke !

Plenty of Bomber Command/Second World War content on here...

There's a a couple of images of a certain famous chap in this collection @nmtdambusters.bsky.social #History

Another good pod coming from @nmtdambusters.bsky.social @lydiajane13.bsky.social and @jamesjhistory.bsky.social. It seems the freakishly tall Stirling might not have been the total dud I thought. 1

Good to have @nmtdambusters.bsky.social back again. Another interesting pod this week on the Canada's part in Bomber Command and sounds like many more to come. And get well soon @jamesjhistory.bsky.social!

The latest @nmtdambusters.bsky.social is one I’ve been waiting for: on the much-maligned Short Stirling. Fascinating and insightful. A plane that had weaknesses but was adapted for many important jobs.

I've just been visited by Trevor Kerry who dropped this off for archive and the top of my TBR pile. Someone to have on a show in the next series @nmtdambusters.bsky.social ?

And I'm wearing a wizard @nmtdambusters.bsky.social T-shirt!

A busy day. A productive IBCC / University of Lincoln partnership committee meeting with @flyingarchivist.bsky.social, Alex trained new student volunteers, and we took in a wizard collection of POW material containing interviews recorded with Dixie Deans... #History #WW2 @nmtdambusters.bsky.social
