Mark Whitaker Art

This week a memorial was installed at The National Memorial Arboretum. Royal Air Force Bomb Disposal was the first Bomb Disposal Squadron and was on active service 24/7 for 77 years. @RoyalAirForce #EOD #BombDisposal

Strength is Power Calling the @RAF_Wittering montage finished. I have tried to capture as many of the aircraft and ground units that have been stationed at this famous base as possible, but a canvas is only so big! #aviation #pilot #wittering #aviationart #logistics #military

@penswordbooks And here’s the original

New release: The RAF's Armourers ✈ With each chapter brought to life through personal anecdotes and shared experiences, this book provides an insight into an utterly essential role which has remained largely hidden – until now. 🛒 buff.ly/3slhca9

Up, up and away.

@rgpoulussen 4th Battalion KSLI, 11th Armoured, rather than 2nd(?)

#OTD in 1944. Men from 2 King's Shropshire Light Infantry, just back from the frontline for a four day rest. #WW2 #HISTORY

Five years ago a friend did a sketch on a post-it note and asked me if I’d fancy doing a mural for 5131 Bomb Disposal Squadron @RoyalAirForce and got me painting again for the first time in decades. #raf #wittering #eod #bombdisposal #art #aviationart #royalairforce #painting

Starting the last aircraft today on the #wittering montage. Fitting the last aircraft is another Harrier. Only a couple more elements to start, then the scenery and then hours of finishing. #raf #royalairforce #harrier #aviation #jet #pilot #aircrew #LestWeForget

@soave1000 @WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 Good call. The Charge of the Bull

@WeHaveWaysPod @almurray @James1940 One on The Great Swan please

Good suggestion for a pod (keep them coming, by the way) - we will add it to our in-house shortlist of underexplored Second World War topics. 🫡 #wehaveways @almurray @James1940

A bit more time on the new commission. The Canberra and Valiant about done and two more earlier types started. #raf #royalairforce #coldwar #englishelectric #canberra #vickers #valiant #aviation #aviator #pilot #art #painting #aviationart

@Chitownrabble @MilHistNow Hi, yes it is

@Markrunsnflys @MilHistNow Is that Dambusters? (My apologies if I guessed wrong)

Anyone else have movies they just gotta watch at least once a year?

@NewarkAirMus Saw her Sunday afternoon flying high over Notts County Sailing Club, Hoveringham, heading North West, so maybe not, unless she swung around.

Does anyone know if they came our way as per the ‘whisper’? #AskingForAFriend #UnleashTheDraken

@Chieftain_armor @3rdUKDivision @1stArmoredDiv Zapped!

By the authority vested in me by use of a sticker, I hereby also claim this @3rdUKDivision Warrior, which found its way to Texas, on behalf of @1stArmoredDiv . (Both units go by "Iron", incidentally). Now, is there a Challenger around here anywhere?

@CcibChris Yes, especially this week

F35B. Are you a fan?

At 21:28 this evening, 80 years ago from RAF Scampton the first of 19 Lancasters of 617 Squadron embarked on Operation Chastise. 8 aircraft and 53 aircrew were lost. Lest we forget #dambusters #lancaster #guygibson #scampton #barneswallis #royalairforce #raf #617squadron
