While Allied powers planned D-Day, women & men worked tirelessly in factories to support the war effort. Many of the companies vital to #DDAY80 are part of our history & we continue to be inspired by the innovative spirit of the home front.

@IainGAnderson @HemaJaradah @CWGC @Volksbund Hi Ian, is that Heisker Island by any chance? Think I remember some great stuff in the @CWGC archive about the difficulties in marking and maintaining those graves. Great to see the effort that still goes in to looking after them.

My blog, based on @Prize_Papers from neutral ships (now online). It pieces together the unlikely story of the Irishman and Tenerife resident, William Farrell. Failed commercial ventures, duelling, at death's door twice in two years - his story has it all. blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/an-irish-merch…

Trev Clark's Obscure Aviation History 🚁
The UK's captured Luftwaffe 'war prizes' were displayed at RAE Farnborough in the Autumn of 1945. Some, but not all, are shown in this image, however the 'ghostly' Heinkel He 219 Uhu (Eagle-Owl) really stands out in the foreground.

Great day at @AvroHeriMuseum - some amazing pieces of aviation history, and incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers. Also took the opportunity to pay a visit to the graves of Roy Chadwick, Sidney “Bill” Thorn and David Wilson in nearby Christ Church, Woodford

Heartbroken. The lives of several aviators and two pieces of aviation history have been lost in the skies over Dallas today. The P-63 King Cobra collided with the B-17 Flying Fortress during the Wings Over Dallas airshow, destroying both planes. Neither aircrew survived.

@kevinhunterday Great to see you and ‘Lucky’ in action yesterday. Given the result, I’m hoping you went on to win a BAFTA in the evening!

‘Lucky’ is getting some stick from the other shirts but doesn’t mind because he’s had a great day out with the best fans in the country. Although he’d like some advice on getting rid of ketchup and lager stains #CPFC
