There aren't many history podcasts that make me laugh out loud but @TheRestHistory "Britain in the 70s: The Rise of Thatcher" is sublime. It shouldn't be funny,given the subject, but it is.

Flt Lt George Dunn DFC, a revered WWII Halifax and Mosquito pilot, has passed away at 103. A vital member of the Pathfinder Force and 1409 Flight, he flew 44 operations. The de Havilland Museum honours a modest hero, true gentleman, and loyal supporter.

@HistoryPegg Thanks for all your efforts. I looked forward to these sessions and will miss them. Good luck with all you're doing!

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

Listening to @WeHaveWaysPod entire Battle of Britain series today whilst doing jobs around the house. Outside a Hurricane, some Spitfires and a Harvard occasionally fly over. Goose bumps time.

@tweetingralph1 @almurray @WeHaveWaysPod @James1940 I sense a bit of mischief and possibly a tad of facetiousness in Al's post.

@guywalters @WIredale Suffering badly with his back when making this apparently.

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

@normaegraham1 Beautiful lattice work. If it tastes as good as it looks, you're winning!

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

Today's job of blocking random tarts done. This platform... tsk.

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

@HistoryPegg @WeHaveWaysPod Oh no, missed it! Sounds like it was an interesting one!

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

Don't know about anybody else but I've got #WHWF24 withdrawal. It was so good.

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

@HistoryPegg @WeHaveWaysPod Always :-)

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

Loved the @HistoryRage talks and demos at the @WeHaveWaysPod festival. Interesting, insightful, and delivered with humour yet serious. Great stuff!

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

Been so busy trying to do, see, and listen to everything at this year's @WeHaveWaysPod festival that I completely forgot about this platform. But crikey, it was good! Best weekend of the year and can't wait until the next one!

[Derry Warners @DutchDezza]

@HistoryPegg Thanks for the lovely chat over lunch earlier! Great to meet in person and looking forward to seeing you at the Zoom Social soon 😀

[WHW Cambridge IC (also on Bluesky) @WHW_CambridgeIC]

Our mission on Saturday won't be as daunting as a trip to Bremen & we're setting off confident of success.

Please help us reach our revised goal of £2000 for Finley's Touch and help us support children facing much more difficult challenges.

Thank you!

We're hoping to recreate some of the movie scenes inspired by our route but for everyone's sake, singing is probably best avoided...

...unless of course, an 'amazing' donation is incoming for Finley's Touch 😉

What do you think?
