My acrylic ink profiles of the 1918 Albatros https://t.co/b1IRn14s7k and the 1940 Messerschmitt Bf.109 E-4 of Gerhard 'Chick' Hubrich. What a difference 22 years makes!

Gradually rebuilding my webshop due to technical hiccups.

@GerMilHistory @StephenParkes @guywalters Well, in fairness she's 6 days older than me. That makes an enormous difference... 😉

@GerMilHistory @GWAS1914_1918 Thanks! It's D.VII F 4282/18 of Ltn Arthur Laumann

@omamoll @colinrtalbot @BedfordTweets @LoveBedford @BedfordVann @moyamin1 There was a bit of a misshap with the prototype in 2017 when it broke loose from its moorings at Cardington. The HAV office and technology centre is still in Bedford but the Cardington historic airfield has recently been covered with new houses so no more airships there, sadly.

@GerMilHistory @howardharry Gives me twingey teeth just thinking about it 😆
Can't wait for the anthology to come out!

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

@mr45144 @AdamWatkinson1 Yes thanks 😊 Lots of changes, some of them completely unexpected, but all good now 👍 How are things down in NZ?

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

@mr45144 @AdamWatkinson1 Hello Kev! Blimey, it has been an age since I last opened the Twitter app. I feel a bit like a summoned genie 😆 Glad the artwork is still going strong 👍

Princess Pickle Pooch visited Tyne Cot and Langemark, yesterday, in her capacity as the @ZGTours4Schools MkVI Jack Russell Dog for Officers (see https://t.co/MsmUmjteqZ if you've no idea what I'm talking about 😁) - hearing both sides of the story.

Time to fire up the old Twitter account in preparation for our exciting tour with @ZGTours4Schools which sets off this Friday. You can follow it all here. We can’t wait! #historyteacher #ProudToBeRossett #ww1

@RoyalMailHelp Okay, thank you. I've already spoken to them 3 times. I'll see what happens to the letter that I have just sent to my old address and if it isn't redirected I'll be demanding a full refund of my £76 because you haven't provided the service I paid for.

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

Almost 7 weeks since the start of my mail redirection, @RoyalMail, and still not one piece of redirected mail. You can't tell me that I haven't had even one item of junk mail in that time! And it's pointless sending me postage stamps as compensation. I buy all my postage online.

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

@GerMilHistory @RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp 3 calls, so far, and still nothing. I've just posted a letter to myself at the old address using one of the compensation postage stamps. Let's see what happens to that...

@GerMilHistory I'm tending towards Montbretia but not entirely certain 🤔

Thanks @mrniceguy1076.

@GerMilHistory @mrniceguy1076 @mikegalsworthy @MartinRemains @HistoriansForEU @euromove @FrontlineLH The benefits of working together (without borders) to overcome difficulties and to keep everything running as smoothly as possible.

@GerMilHistory @thehistoryguy They also don't seem to view hardship, pain or death in the same way as we do, these days.

Just realised I haven't shared this directly yet. Model made by the superbly talented Toby Monks, eldest son of @DawnMonks .

Check out Waterloo 1815: Cranium of Soldier No.1 by @germilhistory in #3D, #VR or #AR https://t.co/NQ3zNPjyTB via @sketchfab

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

@GerMilHistory @1815Memorial @Sketchfab He's a talented chap, that Toby (yeah, I'm possibly a bit biased 😁)

[DawnMonksMilitaryArt @DawnMonks]

Huzzah! Mugs have landed in New Zealand! It has been a bit nerve-racking since I started getting them printed by someone else instead of doing it myself (control freak that I am!) but they're turning out really well.
Glad you agree, @mr45144 😊

[Kevin N Prince @mr45144]

Because we all need new mugs @DawnMonks Thanks Dawn - the Waterloo Medal is better than I hoped. Magic stuff. cc @09EA63
