@captureasecond Honestly? the original.

A heavily edited ‘dynamic’ version of my original low-level Sea Harrier photograph that I’ve reworked for someone - which do you prefer? #harrierfriday #seaharrier #avgeek #aviation #captureasecond

@Hush_Kit Why is the F-4’s nose blacked out?

I've put that new 'no share' switch feature on, so only you, my precious followers, can enjoy this

GWで福岡に行くよ！って方、ぜひ大刀洗平和記念館に行って震電と三二型と九七戦見てみてね！

@ModernNavy Decommissioned without proper replacements? why is the current UK Gov disarming the country? Seems deliberate considering the level of intelligence vs motive.

What's the worst naval decision of the current government? The shock sale of HMS BULWARK to #Brazil and decommissioning of HMS ALBION would have to rank up there. Here is the former being turned at the mouth of Weston Mill Lake @ModernNavy Via #KatherineClarke

@CWHM Will the TBM be going to the TBM gathering in Peru, Illinois?

May 1, 1982: The Royal Navy Sea Harriers officially opened their account in the Falklands War, downing an Argentine Mirage. It was the beginning of a legendary run: over the course of the conflict, Sea Harriers flew 1,100 CAP sorties and racked up 23 air-to-air victories. Even more impressively, they came home with zero losses in air-to-air combat. 1/2

From May 1st 1982, the damage to the runway and Vulcan XM607 coming in to land as well as the last Victor tanker landing at Ascension.

@RDPHistory Serious threat to Helicopters.

2) Considering them low priority targets, the Sea Harriers don't pursue. The Turbo Mentor of Lt Daniel Gustavo Manzella receives a shot through the rear fuselage, but survives the incident and flies off, as the Sea Harriers race on to Goose Green...

May 1st 1982: Three Sea Harriers close on Goose Green and run into a scrambled group of three Turbo Mentor ground attack planes, sent to investigate a SF helicopter landing. Engaging with 30mm cannon, Lt Mike Watson shoots one, forcing the rest to drop payloads and scatter. 1/2

First flood up for HMS Cardiff 🌊 This key process involves filling the dry dock with water, lifting the ship from its support blocks and enabling us to progress to the next stage of development for this Type 26 Global Combat Ship. 🔗 baes.co/CQZn50YSsqG

@AeroPaleo If I may ask, how would you one order a signed copy for dispatch to the colonies (Virginia) Ready to give up on Amazon.

Your regular #ShapingtheVulcan Amazon watch…. On another note, delighted to have dispatch a signed example off to Romania. Wings spread indeed!

@Airfix Anticipating its arrival and the deep dive research on what configuration to build.

@Marc_Topaz @AeroPaleo Having the same issues with Amazon, latest says the release date is June 11. Most disappointing as I’m very much looking forward to this.

@AeroPaleo Had to cancel my order through Amazon, as the "release date" kept moving from last June, to September, and is now listed as February 2026. I guess all your readers in the UK and EU have time machines?

Anyone from across the pond managed to get hold of #ShapingtheVulcan, yet? I’m aware of a couple of copies that have made it over, at least. “Revelatory” was the description from one (distinguished) recipient, which cheered me up. Delighted to know what you think!

@Airfix Oh if this Mk could only be released in the reworked 1/24 Scale!🙏

Beautiful Mossie… Our 1:72 scale de Havilland Mosquito B.XVI/B.35/TT.35 captures the versatility of this iconic aircraft, with 182 parts including 21 newly tooled elements. Designed to reflect its evolution from late WWII operations...

@penswordbooks Looking forward to this one!
