@ArmyAirCorps Good news. Some of the best pilots I had the pleasure to fly with were JNCOs.

@ex_major We had something like that dropped on land-rover chassis when my troop played enemy to 24 Airmobile Bde in the early 90s.

Indeed the good people of Ipswich rioted in defence of Christmas in 1647. Something to contemplate should The Beastie Boys spirited ode to celebratory rights feature on your xmas playlist...😜🎄🕺

So much of what we considered to be recent events, is actually our history. This is a great example of the value of the Oral History project, and Ops Normal. Don't leave it too late to contribute to both/either.

@bermicourt @RLCMuseum I remember an evening of torture when I was on the RCT YO's course and the old curator took us through the entire collection group by group....without a break to go to the bar!

Second day in the archives of @armyflying at Middle Wallop working on @opsnormal1957 and distracted by old newspaper ads!

@khakidevil @Taff_Gillingham @AndInTheMorning Useful practise for tunneling out of RMAS!

[Dr John Greenacre @Persistive]

Just reminiscing on my days as a Red Army tank rider!

[Dr John Greenacre @Persistive]

@thebattleguide @jimbo38 I wouldn't be seen dead in one of those - for a start I don't enough pies!

[Dr John Greenacre @Persistive]

A British F-35B aircraft crashed earlier today into the Mediterranean sea. The pilot ejected successfully in their Martin-Baker US16E Ejection Seat and safely returned to the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth.
