@fussballgeekz @LCFC @admiral1914 My Hero

Frank Worthington looking absolutely majestic in equally wonderful @LCFC @admiral1914 attire (1976/77). The #Leicester-based company revolutionised kit manufacturing in the 1970s, their brilliant, eye-catching templates as exciting as the beautiful game itself.

@Jimmyocx3 @SSgtKotyk Great post Jimmy, waves, smiles and other gestures during conflict raises morale in many ways 👌🏻

on a side note, one afternoon during the conflict, I watched from the top of Mount Vernet (10 miles from Port Stanley, Falklands), two harriers, they’d been on some sort of mission, I assume attacking Port Stanley airport, they flew high into the sky with anti aircraft fire twinkling behind them and their vapour trails made a big X in the air, I’m not sure if it was intentional, but I took it as, this is it lads, X marks the spot, very brave men.

British Sea Harrier doing a low level approach, I believe around or during the Falklands War era.

@xavi_calm @LCFC @MCC14 Good luck Xavi, what doesn’t kill yoi makes you stronger 🤘🏻

I’m truly grateful to have shared this time and experience with the entire @LCFC family. Thank you to @MCC14 for your trust, and to the staff, players, supporters, and everyone at the club for your support. Wishing you all the very best for the future! 💙🦊

@RDPHistory Tremendous history and research Ricky, brave souls on both sides

It still amazes me how little the sinking of the Belgrano is actually understood, even after I wrote the definitive book. Here on this Facebook post in the link, I am attempting to educate one post at a time... My work never ends! facebook.com/share/p/1A3mWR…

@robert_huth You left some legacy and we are forever indebted to you for that 💪🏻

Great times even if my face doesn't show it 😂

@XtraLeicester 💯

When we sold Kasper in 2022 it contributed a lot to our downfall We lost that leadership and spine of our team. Such a huge mistake selling him especially when he said after he didn’t want to leave We’ve got no leaders, no one holding people accountable.. #lcfc

Last roll of the dice - ⁦@BAESystemsInc⁩ warton factories finest - the last 3 airworthy Lightnings in formation - image firestreakbooks.com

@KevOBrien07 @BAESystemsAir @BAESystemsplc They do indeed Kev - and some wonderful staff who looked after us superbly

@BlickyIan @BAESystemsAir @BAESystemsplc Spiritual homeland of your steed, they also have an incredible archive at Warton.

A truly wonderful day at @BAESystemsAir @BAESystemsplc hosted by the heritage group - so many highlights - meeting a young engineer working on Tempest, seeing this LTG up close and meeting a 94 year old test pilot - good to see the Warton spirit is alive and well

@MillieRSian 👌🦊

Cifuentes promised a new era at Leicester City, yet the old names grace his teamsheets week in week out. The supporters are losing patience and sympathy for a man that initially excited them - and they can hardly be blamed. Time to give some of the academy boys a shot, Marti!

Next expedition- South America. Beginning this autumn. Follow me for live updates and announcements soon

@Levisonwood Nice one Lev 👌

Operation Market Garden 17 September 1944, to sum up the actions of all those that participated in one word ………’Courage’ ……………..#operationmarketgarden

@April_1970s The jump into the gorge is so inspiring, the end scene of the shoot out so poignant. We are lucky to have have lived to watch their iconic films

Another legend gone. Robert Redford.

@Elm_665 Spot on

One thing is for certain, all is not right at Leicester City. Several unhappy players pushing for a move away. An owner losing interest. A director of football out of his depth. Fan base divided and looking for answers. One thing for sure we have very long season ahead #LCFC

@JT3185 @BritishArmy @armycmc Great pictures Jim, great DZ patch 💪

Always a treat going up the #Penyfan 💪 #BritishArmy #Brecon #InfantryBattleSchool @BritishArmy @armycmc

RIP Alan Pollock, RAF Hawker Hunter pilot who in 1968 famously flew through Tower Bridge in protest at defence cuts. This ended up being his last flight as an RAF pilot and ended his Air Force career. It is now the stuff of Legend. Rest in peace Sir, we salute you.  The first time I heard the Alan Pollock Hunter story was from a friend who was working as a RAF flight line mechanic at West Raynham on the day this happened 57 years ago. As the pilots landed they were arrested by RAF police who were initially unsure who the culprit was.  The last pilot to land was Alan Pollock who arrived in style with an inverted low pass over the hangars. He also happened to have an AA street map of London in the cockpit. Well and truly busted out the RAF 'the Tower Bridge Incident' has gone down as a legendary piece of RAF history. Interesting fact not often mentioned about the incident, the 1 Squadron ground crew at Tangmere who dispatched the aircraft packed toilet roles behind the airbrake at Flt Lt Pollock’s request so he could drop them over Parliament! He buzzed the Houses of Parliament creating a mini-sonic boom just as MPs were debating the problem of aircraft Jet noise!
