@onthisGTFCday Was Town’s future manager playing for PNE?

@GustavPaulUK Was the future Grimsby & Liverpool manager playing for the Lillywhites?

@SeaSpitfires AI, post an obvious mistake, which results in idiotic responses, raising the profile of the original post

@Butch_on_Racing @CalumDouglas1 Episode 305 is Guy Martin. I usually listen to both episodes annually.

[Tom Blackbourn @TommyGy]

@Butch_on_Racing @CalumDouglas1 They have. Episode 355 The Secret Horse Power Race. I immediately ordered the book and followed Calum

@CalumDouglas1 Presumably Radar was also a factor? This could give a defender time to achieve a better altitude for an initial attack. Hence masking the Hurricanes relative short comings.

(I’ve long been a fan of the Hurricane after a long chat to a Hampden pilot who later flew both fighters)

One of Munich's most famous landmarks is Karlsplatz/Stachus. During the Cold War, it was a centre of intelligence services. Nowhere else in the city was the density of espionage as high as there. Even a #KGB murder plot took place there. Here is an overview 👇1/8

@CalumDouglas1 1930s Amateur radio, National Physical Laboratory…… R.V. Jones springs to mind. Are you taking a new, archive based, perspective on Most Secret War?

@SJ_Barrick All the best for the future Sam. I’m sure you’ll shine at whatever’s next.

@jamesjhistory @LydiaJane13 I’ll be visiting in a couple of weeks. Originally for the Crick & Watson connection, but this is a bonus!

@JamieMctrusty A pilot (married to my grandmother’s cousin) told me about they went to pick up their new Wellesleys. This was their first variable pitched propeller aircraft and nobody had brief them their use. Consequently there were several forced landings across southern England.

@April_1970s @WeHaveWaysPod @militaryhistori @James1940 One of the first episodes I heard and one of my favourites (along with Guy Martin and then Callum Douglas).

@ChrisPas62 @The_Fenners @DN35GTFC Almost gone off on a tangent.

[Tom Blackbourn @TommyGy]

@britgermanbloke @almurray Me too! Something along the lines of printing money.

@Hush_Kit There’s great museum just outside Munich airport, where you can go inside a selection of aircraft. Great to visit after dropping your bags off. The difference in internal space between the Ju52 and the DC3 was staggering.

@GNTS1 @JamieMctrusty I prefer my chips with haddock. They do very good ones down the road at the famous fishing port of Grimsby. 😉

@RDPHistory I wonder if the brand Exeter has any connection to Exeter City. They toured South America in 1914.

Or perhaps a connection to HMS Exeter?
