@historyinmemes I visited a couple of months ago and took the audio tour option. It was really good. The audio description was superb, the best I've come across. A great experience. Very much recommended 👍

@dirk7890 I had hundreds of them. I used to set up huge battles in the garden and try knocking them down with marbles. For some reason I seemed to have more Japanese troops than any other...

@TBrit90 It's always been like this though. It was a three feet high broken wooden fence at Marham when we had nukes there in the 90s. We would regularly see CND protesters jump over and gain entry to the base. They never caused damage. There were more guard shifts though.

@UKDefJournal RIP James.....

@JCtheVictor Nothing in Lincoln UK - 8.30pm

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@ColbyHawker @eyishazyer No.... That's just too far fetched.

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@TBrit90 When I was at Marham, the two squadrons of Tornadoes were kept in the two HAS sites for 2 and 13 Sqns. Only the Canberra of 39 we're in the open. Admittedly when the German bases closed there were Tornado in the open. With Tornado gone, surely the few F35 are in HAS sites?

@scottyeders To echo Daniele in other answers. Bloodhound served it's purpose in those days but I find it incredible that the UK doesn't have a viable anti-balistic missile system capable of defending us from IRBM and ICBM attack. I appreciate that this is a difficult task but peer nations do

@AMAZlNGNATURE Be honest, there was some effort involved... I was expecting the fish to just flop on the ground in front of the bear.....

@TBrit90 What's the score with Dragon. When can we expect to see her at sea?

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@just_Liles @VeteranIrish Plenty left in the RAF in 1990. It was the plastic ones that were the rarity. The plastic ones were a lot lighter for when the instructors were playing their games and making you hold them at arms length. But yeah, the wooden ones were lovely.

@tempest_books Loved working on both the F3 and GR4 versions. We used to call it the two man, twin can, swing wing, thunder wonder....
Ex RAF Sootie 90-05.

@xeode @tempest_books It's the staining from the thrust reverse buckets. The APU exhaust was on the right side in front of the tailaron. The APU didn't mark the airframe but the thrust reverses made a mess of the fin. We'd often take the jets to the wash pan to clean them up.

@Cmdr_Hadfield @physicsJ Earth, Mars, Saturn and Neptune all have similar inclinations. Is there a reason for that? A quirk of angular momentum?

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@RDPHistory Is that a Nimrod on the left and the tail of a Victor I can see?

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@MythvvsFact Hello, I like this. Keep up the good work.

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@TBrit90 Kent going in the shed in four months time. Sutherland coming out around that time.

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@georgeemmett8 @hms_kent @NavyLookout @WarshipCam Great pictures George! I'll definitely be following you 👍

[David Barkham @MicroMoggy]

@NavyLookout @hms_kent @georgeemmett8 Just watched the arrival on the HMS Warrior webcam.

@AWenham1 @hms_kent @HMNBPortsmouth @khmportsmouth @NavyLookout @ModernNavy @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @warshipworld Not today though is it? We're waiting for it to come back and didn't think it was due just yet...
