@SeaSpitfires CSM Cleary explaining the MP40. Not too long before he was killed, near La Londe.
The AI versions are cock awful, but worryingly they will get better in time and will become more difficult to identify.
@LibertyBusje where has the 13 gone, 7.41 from Queens Valley East? This happened yesterday too. Is it still coming and your GPS isn't running or am i going to be late for work? It was on the schedule 10 mins earlier!
@ReassessHistory Interesting to see that they (IWM London) have lost 320k visitors in comparison to 2019. There are a number of factors i suspect (covid being just one of them) but that's a huge loss.
It has been brilliant to listen to such varied history topics, particularly this year. I do think that there should be an episode dedicated to the Battle of Jersey in 1781, but then, i am slightly biased. Of course, if they wanted to visit Jersey next summer and fire a cannon...
You can discover more about how the States Assembly worked during the Occupation in a special episode of the States Assembly Podcast.

Thanks to @JerseyHeritage for the images.
Did you know that in June 1940, two of Jersey's elected States Members were serving members of the armed forces?
Their names were Leslie Thomas Anthoine and Ralph Edward Bishop Voisin.
Scroll through the images and learn more about their stories.

@SeaSpitfires@Taff_Gillingham@BO3673 Hate the way he writes about his father. He was invited by LIM to see his fathers stuff on display but didn't bother to reply, then begged for free research to get Lt Col Burbury's grave date changed, but left us to do all the work. The spouted about him fixing it...he didn't.
If you have a spare half hour, I did a podcast with the States Assembly on the political side of the Occupation of Jersey. One for perhaps @Nickleh, even if its not the right Channel Island for him!

@IanMile36813250@SeaSpitfires@ReassessHistory@SeaSpitfires book is genuinely brilliant, his vast knowledge of Sword drips through each page, and his enthusiasm to 'get it right' with detail is quite infectious; something I aspire to in any future publications (too busy firing cannons atm!).
It's a fantastic piece of work.
@PeterABedford Look at Jersey for this Peter, we have had two informative and challenging debates on this subject already, before any laws are implemented. Worth reviewing certainly.
So, following on from this comment I made a few days ago, I thought I would do a quick thread on the coolest Grandad who happened to be a fairly rubbish pilot. Meet John Bernard Noble.
If anyone wants it, its still on Amazon and it’s called White Flash (after the white flash in the cap for cadets). I should add, he survived the war, lived until 2006 and was a very successful Optician in Northamptonshire. I hope you have enjoyed this thread about a good man.
