Great article here on flexibility of the Lynx Wildcat and also wider use in the West Indies - really good coverage on a critical RN asset.

Remember. Apart from bitching endlessly about a few pence being taken off the tax paid by the most heavily taxed people in the country, what do Labour have to offer apart from the destructive, pointless politics of envy?

Absolutely sweet FA.

The Red Ensign flag flies over Stanley for #MerchantNavyDay!

Today we also remember the sacrifices made by the Merchant Navy to help liberate the #Falklands in 1982, and we give thanks for their vital role in supplying the Islands today.

@CaptAliClack Good to see the old kit still in use. Do you still have the Waymouth Ross as well?

@Patch400 Very civilised!

@ed800m @RoyalSussexRegt @militaryhistori @CWGC That's very kind but we do have recent photos. Sadly they could not afford a headstone in 1938, my brother and I raised one when we interred dad's ashes in 1989. Never met him but so proud, I wear his medals when appropriate.

@ed800m @RoyalSussexRegt @militaryhistori @CWGC Remember that church - used to march from prep school ever Sunday, 1940's. My grandad buried in Paington too, Serjeant in the Wilts. Never fully recovered from injuries, died 1938.
