@RoyalFamily What an irrepressably warm and honest tribute from our monarch to the late David Hockney.

Some additional wing-mounted forward-firing guns might have helped

A stupid idea from the start, or was the Defiant a great aircraft and they just using it wrong (initially)?

On 18 February 1943, the Royal Navy destroyer HMS Garth engaged a formation of German E-boats, destroying one. Crew pose with a dog rescued - along with 7 German sailors - from the blazing wreck of one of the E-boats.🐶 #OnThisDay #WW2

Off to sunny Spain for #Caturday.
A cat and mouse near Font del Gat in gardens on Montjuïc hill once welcomed visitors to eponymous restaurant above Barcelona.
In case they've scampered off when restaurant closed, #Caturday fountain itself also supplied here.

Yesterday I had the joy of attending Rena Stewart’s 100th Birthday.

A German linguist, Stewart worked at @bletchleypark in Hut 3, the German Book Room, 44-45.

At the end of the war she was posted to Germany as a translator. There, she was tasked with translating Hitler’s will.

@cjayres11 That's NOT a book problem. That's absently-minded acquiring a few volumes. I've read a book a day so far in 2023. As it's not necessarily my job, that's more of an issue!

@1642Author @penswordbooks Many congratulations!

Lukashenka said that if a neighbouring country attacks #Belarus, the response would the the "cruelest". There are proofs

Don’t you feel that the world is a better place for a carved armadillo clutching a bookworm? #CardiffCastle

These look very special indeed!

@TomSeston @militaryhistori Nothing at all.
I'm very careful.
