Sea Harrier donated to museum in the Falkland Islands arrives

Really enjoyed looking round the South Asia Gallery at Manchester Museum today on my way back from IWM North. Very interesting approaches to co-creation to learn from. And of course Stan the T-Rex is there too. Roar-some shop to boot!

Today in 1944, in Normandy, on the opening day of Op Epsom, Sgt Laing of the Army Film and Photo Unit releases his camera's shutter just as an ammunition lorry explodes. A Sherman tank of the F&F Yeomanry, and a flail tank of 22nd Dragoons are seen. Photo: Imperial War Museums B 6017

Like to think I'm capable of the big thinking, dichotomy shifting, agenda setting discourse. But today I showed up for an appointment not only on the wrong day, but a whole month early

Oooh, this looks good (British villainy aside) #SWW

This is a fantastic project for someone to do a funded PhD on. If you're even remotely interested, give it a look #twitterstorians

Today the people of Newfoundland and Labrador lay to rest an Unknown Soldier returned from France. The Newfoundland Regiment fought in Gallipoli, at the #Somme, Cambrai, in 3rd Ypres, and the 100 days. This trench marker from the #Somme is on display at Imperial War Museums Lambeth Road #FWW

Some low and slow Apaches outside the Imperial War Museums front doors earlier

England are yet to lose a game they've played in the former British Zone of Occupation at #EURO2024 #BAOR #ColdWarHist

And the final will be played at the former HQ of the British Infantry Brigade.... #homeadvantage

This certainly looks to be an interesting read! #SWW theguardian.com/books/article/…

Today in 1945, and Churchill visits the ruins of Berlin prior to the start of the Potsdam conference. He toured the ruins of the Reichs Chancellery, the Reichstag, and Hitler's bunker under the guidance of the Soviets #SWW (Images Imperial War Museums BU 8952, 8962, 8949, and 8955)

I loved writing this article for the American Air Museum website about the history of baseball in Britain.⚾️ It's related to my current IWM Collections Development Project about American opportunities for R&R in wartime Britain. (Photo: FRE 13671) americanairmuseum.com/stories/little…

A flypast has honoured the bravery of Britain’s last surviving Victoria Cross holder in Aberdeen. A Catalina flew over where 104-year-old John Cruickshank lives. He was awarded the VC, 80 years ago today for his part in sinking a German submarine in 1944. More on BBC Scotland News

The first 90 seconds of Top Gun: Maverick really is just indulgent nostalgia, isn't it? Utterly pointless. Completely glorious

It will never not be funny to me that I'm Sir David Jason according to some TV guides

Taken today in 1917, British troops load a pack horse with wiring staples near Pilckem Ridge, a major objective of the first day of the Passchendaele / 3rd Ypres offensive. Note the horse's gas-mask #FWW

Today marks the anniversary of the start of the Third Battle of Ypres. During the centenary, @IWM collated some of the voices and experiences of those who were there from their archives. You can still listen to them here: iwm.org.uk/history/voices… #FWW #Passchendaele
