#Halloween and fireworks can be a scary time for our furry four-legged friends. You can help keep paw-some pets like Sherlock happy and safe by attending an organised #fireworks display rather than doing your own.

A big thank you from Fire Dog Sherlock! 🐶

Really enjoying this fantastic book by @sean_f_scullion and in Chapter 2 the interesting incident at Avonmouth is a fascinating example of the tensions in the summer of 1940. The embarkation from what is now part of the @bristolport A great read #ContnuingtheFight

Lt Col Mark Teeton RE ran in aid of @CombatStress for the D-Day 80th anniversary.

Here's the link to sponsor him and show support at this horrendous time for him and his family. #ubique

A huge day today as Vol XIII of the @Proud_Sappers is launched today, covering the theme of learning during the years of counter-insurgency and the return of contingency 2000-2019. Lots to learn from for all!

Call for assistance.
I am researching the British contribution to the UN Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) since 1964. Any anecdotes or contacts with those who have served there with the UN would great. Please share and message me directly.

SCAMPTON UPDATE! On one level, things are looking good: a judicial review underway and a stop order issued successfully by the @westlindsaydc. Unfortunately, the @ukhomeoffice and @mod_dio are completely ignoring these and bulldozing ahead with their plans to turn #Scampton...

[Nips Adams @nipsre]

@Mike_Owens_4638 @tonypastor70 @WeHaveWaysPod Totally agree, what a fantastic weekend it was from start to finish

[Nips Adams @nipsre]

@sean_f_scullion @WeHaveWaysPod Looking good, see you tomorrow

[Nips Adams @nipsre]

@sean_f_scullion @SeaSpitfires Agreed, really looking forward to this one. @SeaSpitfires did a great talk at @WeHaveWaysPod festival last summer!

Thoroughly enjoyed the @Oorlogsmuseum in Overloon in the Netherlands this week. Some great #SapperHistory here @RE_Hist_Society including the only remaining conger explosive minefield breaching equipment from #WW2

SCAMPTON - what the heck? So, there’s a brilliant plan in place that promises £300 million to the site, 1,000 jobs, safeguards Scampton’s heritage, converts the Officers’ Mess into a hotel and continues the airfield’s aviation story. Please RT. @WeHaveWaysPod Shout loud, folks!
