Can you help? I need recommendations for guest speakers to talk to my group in the New Forest, we seat 80 to 95 people twice a month. Military history speakers, aviation, WW2, WW1, etc. If you've seen anyone to recommend please say, or if this sounds like you.

I was at the former RAF Sywell recently, near Northampton. I noticed a few interesting aspects, see what you can spot / like in this photo thread. 🧵

It's was the 90th anniversary of Spitfire's maiden flight yesterday, and many will know of RJ Mitchell. But how about some other characters you could say were essential to the development of the aircraft... starting today with Lady Lucy Houston. 🧵

A lovely memorial to the ATA pilots, and Hamble ferry pool Spitfire girls in Hamble, Hampshire.

It's rather sunny on the airfield today 🌞 It reminds me of these two ATS, spotting aircraft from an Anti-Aircraft position, somewhere in London, circa 1941.
