My acrylic ink profiles of the 1918 Albatros D.Va and the 1940 Messerschmitt Bf.109 E-4 of Gerhard 'Chick' Hubrich. What a difference 22 years makes! Gradually rebuilding my webshop due to technical hiccups. dawnmonksillustrations.co.uk/hubrich/ #WW1 #WW2 #Aircraft #Art

@GerMilHistory @StephenParkes @guywalters Well, in fairness she's 6 days older than me. That makes an enormous difference... 😉

@StephenParkes @guywalters Same age as @DawnMonks

Same year as me.

@GerMilHistory @GWAS1914_1918 Thanks! It's D.VII F 4282/18 of Ltn Arthur Laumann

Sometimes I need to go full Westphalian when it comes to #breakfast. Good for my soul.

@omamoll @colinrtalbot @BedfordTweets @LoveBedford @BedfordVann @moyamin1 There was a bit of a misshap with the prototype in 2017 when it broke loose from its moorings at Cardington. The HAV office and technology centre is still in Bedford but the Cardington historic airfield has recently been covered with new houses so no more airships there, sadly.

@colinrtalbot @BedfordTweets @LoveBedford @BedfordVann @moyamin1 @DawnMonks

This was being developed in Bedford? What happened? And I seem to remember the first test flight failed? ⁦@BedfordTweets⁩ ⁦@LoveBedford⁩ ⁦@BedfordVann⁩ ⁦@moyamin1⁩ 👇🏽 Doncaster giant airship plant to create 1,200 jobs - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

@GerMilHistory @howardharry Gives me twingey teeth just thinking about it 😆 Can't wait for the anthology to come out!

We made the news today with the most comprehensive paper on 'Waterloo teeth' written so far (containing a wealth of new sources). To be found in our upcoming anthology. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1… Great summary by @howardharry #waterloo #history #teethofthedead

@mr45144 @AdamWatkinson1 Yes thanks 😊 Lots of changes, some of them completely unexpected, but all good now 👍 How are things down in NZ?

@DawnMonks @AdamWatkinson1 Sits on the wall and delights the eye. Good to see you pop up. All good I trust?

@mr45144 @AdamWatkinson1 Hello Kev! Blimey, it has been an age since I last opened the Twitter app. I feel a bit like a summoned genie 😆 Glad the artwork is still going strong 👍

@AdamWatkinson1 It’s a @DawnMonks original from a photo of my old office

Princess Pickle Pooch visited Tyne Cot and Langemark, yesterday, in her capacity as the @ZGTours4Schools MkVI Jack Russell Dog for Officers (see @zgtours4schools/video/7110500704866897157" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">tiktok.com/@zgtours4schoo… if you've no idea what I'm talking about 😁) - hearing both sides of the story. #battlefieldtour #gcsehistory

Time to fire up the old Twitter account in preparation for our exciting tour with @ZGTours4Schools which sets off this Friday. You can follow it all here. We can’t wait! #historyteacher #ProudToBeRossett #ww1

@RoyalMailHelp Okay, thank you. I've already spoken to them 3 times. I'll see what happens to the letter that I have just sent to my old address and if it isn't redirected I'll be demanding a full refund of my £76 because you haven't provided the service I paid for.

Almost 7 weeks since the start of my mail redirection, @RoyalMail, and still not one piece of redirected mail. You can't tell me that I haven't had even one item of junk mail in that time! And it's pointless sending me postage stamps as compensation. I buy all my postage online.

@GerMilHistory @RoyalMail @RoyalMailHelp 3 calls, so far, and still nothing. I've just posted a letter to myself at the old address using one of the compensation postage stamps. Let's see what happens to that...

@DawnMonks @RoyalMail Wonder how many more attempts @RoyalMailHelp @RoyalMail will need to fix that.

@GerMilHistory I'm tending towards Montbretia but not entirely certain 🤔

Saxifraga, Pulmonaria, Asarabacca, Hypericum, Symphoricarpos (and "something else"?) Plus some Ivy. Thanks to the lovely @DawnMonks #GardenersWorld #gardening #ww1

@GerMilHistory @thehistoryguy They also don't seem to view hardship, pain or death in the same way as we do, these days.

@DawnMonks @thehistoryguy Its quite incredible

Just realised I haven't shared this directly yet. Model made by the superbly talented Toby Monks, eldest son of @DawnMonks . @1815Memorial Check out Waterloo 1815: Cranium of Soldier No.1 by @germilhistory in #3D, #VR or #AR skfb.ly/oDFo9 via @sketchfab

@GerMilHistory @1815Memorial @Sketchfab He's a talented chap, that Toby (yeah, I'm possibly a bit biased 😁)

Huzzah! Mugs have landed in New Zealand! It has been a bit nerve-racking since I started getting them printed by someone else instead of doing it myself (control freak that I am!) but they're turning out really well. Glad you agree, @mr45144 😊
