@Hush_Kit @almurray Yes loads! The 56 Squadron have a lovely annual reunion too, and they all have some good pics.

@FemConstruct @almurray Does your dad have any photos of his Lightning days?

The Lightning deserves 5,000 retweets! You know it makes sense!

@Hush_Kit @almurray I thought it was 56 squadron! Just sent it to my Dad because I think he’s the chap in the shorts facing the cockpit.

Gorgeous day with my family @nationaltrust Arlington Court joining in planting oak trees. I hope my girls return with their children and walk under the trees they planted today. Thanks for making heritage NT!

@StephenWensley @almurray @PortsmouthHQ @MaryRoseMuseum @YouTube Well of course! MGB81 saw active service at DDay, she has a preposterously beautiful art deco style wheelhouse, and she’s enormous fun to ride. And she’s living history - kept alive by @PortsmouthHQ so that people can engage with history in the most exciting manner possible.

There’s a debate, @almurray claims the @PortsmouthHQ MGB is better than the @MaryRoseMuseum which is just sat there on its side! A Christmas Pint: Reflecting on 2025 | WW2 Headquarters youtu.be/sAt11g2BRi0?si… via @YouTube

An amazing year - and thanks to all my phenomenal staff for delivering it.
