@claremulley @wnbooks Freydis Sharland (nee Leaf) 1920-2014. One of the "First 5" to earn RAF wings. Were the female ATA pilots the first women to have equal pay for the same job as men?

@DrJEBall Hermione the German...
How's the beer? Probably the best thing to come out of Detmold, a dour town, home to hundreds of thousands of British BAOR personnel 1945-95.

@militaryhistori @NaomiLWood or Blackshorts Strasse...

[FND @GuyFolium]

@militaryhistori No Stiffy Pinker Avenue, to honour the Rev's wife? Shocked, I tell you.

@hoyer_kat @edbookfest What was your conclusion re motivation for evil?

[FND @GuyFolium]

@TiceRichard "brought up by a single mother" Joan was set up with Sunley family trusts, lived in a substantial house in Northants, keen on hunting (foxes) & was Master of the Pytchley Hunt, married a show jumper and had Richard from a fling with another show jumper. All very Jilly Cooper.

@MichaelRosenYes Must be an audition for another PG Wodehouse adaptation..
Roderick Spode and the Black Shorts Rise Again.

@nicholadrummond A tragic mistaken conflation of nationalism and communism.
The initial US anti colonial resumption policy, the OSS Deer Team, the inspiration for Ho Chi Minh's 1945 Declaration of Independence, his appeals to Truman, could all have seen a very different outcome.

@ChrisPorter22 Strange comparison. Would a Nigerian not regard a Moroccan as African? AFCON champions?
It's just a fact of geography you are confusing with conflict.
Africa is both a political continent and a geological, tectonic one.
Also Israel sits on the African Plate not Eurasian.

@NicholasOShaug1 The only Spodeian element missing ...? The black shorts.

@SamDalrymple123 @farooqsaif411 Without wishing to diminish the scale and consequences of the S Asian partition, just beforehand, in 1944-46, was the wholesale ethnic cleansing of Germans throughout Eastern and Central Europe which saw 12-14 million displaced and c. 1 million associated deaths.

@PaddyBriggs @militaryhistori @British_Airways Read as far as "I was a BA Platinum card holder for some years".
Impressive, especially given the fact that BA has never had a platinum status for frequent flyers.
Does somewhat undermines the credibility...

@Felix_Romanus @matthewsyed @FraserNelson Unfortunate slip on the keyboard, or perhaps it was intentional.
Presume you meant blank slate rather than "black slate"?!

[FND @GuyFolium]

@njg330 @militaryhistori Rather than Mosley, I see Farage as more of a Roderick Spode personality. Ludicrously transparent as a grifting blowhard who would be rapidly bought off with a title.

[FND @GuyFolium]

@MichaelTakeMP @SarahForRuncorn For which side? His allegiance does seem to be somewhat fluid.

[FND @GuyFolium]

@Jetstream44 @gregbagwell Ignorance appears not to be a prime failing of the US military, but ignorance on the political front is baked in given the low grade actors involved, and then exacerbated by over-confidence further multiplied by hubris.

@footynmusic @peterfrankopan Spain has 5 pieces of territory either on or along the coast of Morocco.
And in terms of African real estate, which continent do you reckon the Spanish-owned Canary Islands belong to?

[FND @GuyFolium]

@RDPHistory @Bradley55646901 Later in the 80's Thatcher was instrumental in sending a military training team to support an avowedly Marxist government against an insurgent group that was partly funded by front organisations for Langley. Just one element of an interesting situation.

@robert_lyman The CofE faces an existential threat, most acutely in rural areas.
Demographics are brutally against it. A brave rearguard action is noble but will change little. If you can't get youngsters through the door on a regular basis, rural churches will, at best, become monuments.

[FND @GuyFolium]

@nickfshort Sadly so. Synthetic aberration that goes not deserve the title of a cider. For a proper Nordic cider, Norway has the real thing actually made from apples.

@MrsButters Looks more like Ashgabat. Definite Turkmenistan autocrat decor.
