Decommissioned Italian frigate Espere in Taranto's Mare Piccolo today. I've been soaking up the sights and sounds of the place. You can't beat seeing a place with your own eyes to get a sense of what happened ... even 86 years ago!
Sad to see we've lost John Roberts, who was Captain of Ark Royal when she intervened to protect British Honduras/Belize. He was a hugely likeable man and it was a real pleasure and privilege to get to know him a little: https://t.co/Ek2z2JIVX2
Absolutely LOVED this - really, really funny - laugh out loud so - but touching and charming too and a fantastic evocation of those heady days of the late 1980s. Catnip for a closet rocker like me too. Read it, folks - a total joy from start to finish. Rikki Thunder!! @TravisKennedy@WeHaveWaysPod@almurray@RowlandWhite
I've been looking forward to this dropping thru the letterbox. And it's immediately clear that @TheRealDanSharp has produced an astonishing piece of work. The answer to all my Dan Dare dreams! An early contender for aviation book of the year? It'll take some beating ...
Really very chuffed to see MOSQUITO get picked for @Waterstones paperbacks of the year selection which goes live next week. Thank you to the fab team at my publisher @TransworldBooks and everyone whose supported it by reading it!🙏🙏
