I'm really looking forward to this on Sunday. A great message from @almurray, and we are supporting a fantastic charity.

Just met David Dickinson, who found Jim Reynolds’ ID Card on Tumbledown, close to where Jim was killed during #Falklands War, 1982. It was added to his medals at Regimental HQ @scots_guards, today.

So that's it, we're pulling them out. It was Nijmegen. It was the single road getting to Nijmegen. No, it was after Nijmegen. And the fog, in England. Doesn't matter what it was. When one man says to another, 'I know what, let's play the war game'. Everybody dies....

It's really sad to hear of the death of Val Kilmer, such a great actor. I grew up watching his superb movies. While most concentrate on his fantastic Iceman role in Top Gun. For me, it was in Heat and Tombstone that he was at his best. RIP

It was a lovely spring day at Tarrant Rushton airfield near Blandford, Dorset today. There is so much history here, including parts of the original runway, service roads, hangers, and dispersement areas. With its public access, it's always worth a visit.

On Boxing Day, please spare a thought for our service men and women,working away from home. Especially those on operational tours or exercise. Christmas 🎄 can be a challenge for families left behind.

I've always been impressed with ships dazzle camouflage. But this car I spotted yesterday takes it to another level.....

In the military, you have forward and reverse slope defence. Each have their merits and drawbacks. Sat at the Glastonbury Abbey festival waiting for the headline act Keane. Sadly, I'm sat on the reverse slope. All I can see is the top of the stage........bugger 😞

Perhaps when you have a moment today, have a quiet thought for the men of the Ox and Bucks, glider pilots, and RAF crew at Tarrant Rushton airfield. 80 years ago this evening, they took off for their assault on Pegasus Bridge. Landing just after midnight, they took the bridge 🫡
