@nmtdambusters.bsky.socialI have a metal trunk belonging to a chap from Bomber Command who served at T'qali post war. It's marked "RAF T'qali - WANTED ON VOYAGE". Spotted it outside an antique shop in Kirkby Stephen and bought it for £15!
@nmtdambusters.bsky.socialThis episode has EVERYTHING! Churchill, the Royal Navy, armed trawlers, mines, Bomber Command Pathfinders, & hunting Kamikazes in the Pacific. Many thanks to the incomparable Will Iredale for chatting to me about his new book, Churchill's Pirates.

@lydiajane13.bsky.socialReposted by @nmtdambusters.bsky.socialMore Operation Market Garden content... In Ep 15 of @nmtdambusters.bsky.social , Matt Yates tells the story of the Arnhem Glider Pilots and Bomber Tugs - a really fascinating tale.

@lydiajane13.bsky.socialReposted by @nmtdambusters.bsky.socialBRING UP THE PIAT! As we remember Operation Market Garden at this time of year, I thought I'd reshare my article on the legacy of "A Bridge Too Far", and how film shapes popular memory.

@nmtdambusters.bsky.social✈️ By the time war actually started, Germany was still leaning on older bombers while the “future fleet” was barely ready.
✈️ In Ep. 76, Dan Sharp explains shows how tech, ambition, and bad timing shaped what the Luftwaffe could actually do. Listen here:
