'I painted the roundels on Audaxes and Lancasters. I had to change the wheels on the Oxfords, check the tyre pressures, make sure that the cables from the cockpit to the ailerons and rudder were at the right tension.' Flight mech LACW Jasper #HistoryWritersDay22 #JobsfortheWomen

'Every 3 hrs I would plot weather charts, using up to 100 symbols. These were passed to the Forecaster who would add the isobars. The charts were done by hand and had to include as much detail as possible.' Met.Assistant LACW Nicholls #JobsfortheWomen

Princess Marie-Louise of Schleswig-Holstein was a frequent visitor to Stanton Court in the 1930s. Who was her famous grandmother? #TheChroniclesofaCourtier #HistoryWritersDay22

[Fiona Baskett @FMB_fiona]

Congrats if you knew that Queen Victoria was the grandmother of Princess Marie-Louise. The Princess was a frequent visitor to Stanton Court; in her memoir My Memories of Six Reigns she recalls the etiquette on such occasions. #HistoryWritersDay22 #TheChroniclesofaCourtier

It was a pleasure to be involved in testing the England Athletics athletes this weekend. #SportsScience #RKSMART

[Nicholas Ridgeon @NickRidgeon]

Great first day of reflection, goal setting, testing and training at the @EnglandAthletic talent weekend.

[Rory Kavanagh @RoryKavanagh4]

@DailyHustler @onakai_karate That’s quite a long story, and ones that I wouldn’t have all the ins and outs of. All I want is for everyone to put their differences aside to put the athlete’s interests and progression of Irish Karate first.
