@IWeatherAB @Bruceneuf North side seemed the most damaged driving through last night, northeast corner especially

@simonharley I can't believe that the Hood wasn't turned into a museum. Imagine it sitting on the Thames instead of Belfast.

@TankMuseum Have to go with T-34 over my beloved Sherman. Baseline for so many things that became tank design standards

@WasAnActionGuy @ReassessHistory Don't worry, IWM tries to make up for it by slapping their copyright on any US items in their collection.

@ReassessHistory How old is the live 1940's singer? :D

@seanboy_50 As a Canadian, I doubt many people outside of the UK would realize there is a right and wrong way. I was asked to build a wooden Union Jack for an expat here in Canada, he made sure that I knew. I knew about the difference, but off the top of my head I wouldn't have known which.

@seanboy_50 @WW2TV Can I get taken down this rabbit hole further? I'm very unfamiliar with the coordinates and have wondered how one could figure them out, just not enough to actually do some digging and figure out how until now.

[Ducky Shot @ducky_shot]

@WillardFoxton I have to admit, I have a huge desire to built a completely nonexistent Sherman from the spares box just to mess with rivet counters. Like M4a1 hull, Firefly Turret, 105mm howitzer, VVSS suspension. Or maybe a composite hull with a Jumbo Turret and CN75-50 gun.

@DivebumChef You know what, I could get behind a CADPAT representation of the country's outline as a secondary logo, but this monstrosity is horrific. I'm not sure what they are trying to represent.

@SeaSpitfires Does it seem to fit linearly with any of the other photos Cpt Knight took that day?

I'm always up for a bit of photo locating. Till I get frustrated anyways.

[Ducky Shot @ducky_shot]

@project4_4 When multiple sub units of a unit are in different places, how do you decide where to place the unit? RHQ location and that's it?

[Ducky Shot @ducky_shot]

@I_W_M So this is a US Signal Corps photo from 106 years ago that you are claiming copyright on?

[Ducky Shot @ducky_shot]

I came across this picture today in Dutch archives. I'm going with a stronger than not possibility of it being David Currie VC. Thoughts?https://t.co/7RRrKCPy1D
