Not a doctor, just a tea-drinking machine. Comments are not medical advice. Not to be taken seriously (most of the time). Sarcasm is a language.

@815NAS despite being stealthier than a “bomber” being extra quiet, 815 NAS have just won an award (and decanter of port) - the Desmond Wettern Fleet Award despite, according to the awarding Senior Officer*, flying the little helicopters

*a “big”helicopter type

75% of the #NavHistAus23 ShipShape crew are of to #CVHistoryFest (@CVHISTORYFEST)... sadly no @garius as he's still negotiating day release from Napoleon

@Vettz25 @AC_NavalHistory @Drachinifel @garius because the RAF used a lot of US aircraft in WW2!

[RAF_Luton @RAF_Luton]

Fact of the Day: Baddy Messerschmitt 109s on HMS Landebahnboot raise their wings to signal surrender and the end of WW1 on the 31st Feb 1926, over 80,085 Messerschmitts surrendered when faced with just 71.75 Goody Spitfires at the Battle of Waterloo

Does anyone know of a good biography of Admiral Conrad Helfrecht of the Dutch Navy? Alternatively, a good history of the Dutch sub efforts in the WW2 would also do. Can be in any language.
