If this great thread has crossed your timeline as it has mine, then you might enjoy this clip from SOE agent Harry Rée's interview with the Imperial War Museum. He describes his fistfight with a German of the Sicherheitsdienst, or SS Security Service.

You and me both. The madness of turning away people who are likely more educated than the flag shaggers being pandered to with such a policy is just 🤪

Ridiculous. Most of the population don’t have A-level English. This Government is insane.

Would anyone with an interest in aviation history be willing to give these a new home? Realising I can’t keep all of my Dad’s stuff so time to move it on. @jamiemctrusty.bsky.social @jamesjhistory.bsky.social @navalairhistory.com

Perfection for 10pm on a Friday night. Quite possibly the best live rendition of this song. youtu.be/tqkXqHTNPBg?...

Without wishing to make work, do you keep a spreadsheet of who nominates who at the round table in each episode?

Had the misfortune to arrive at Rosslyn Chapel at the same time as a coach trip. A few dozen people glued to their phones and selfie sticks trudging off the bus, round and out again. Seemed to defeat the purpose of the visit somewhat. Maybe, as with the Louvre, we need to be blaming Dan Brown 👀😂

Two cracking support bands in the Sad and Just Mustard. It’s a no brainer 👍🏻

And all around the country, Goths have sneaked from their desk to the toilets to try and get pre-sale tickets for The Cure….

Likewise for Peter Yates of the Neph. He always seemed very bemused that anyone still had interest 20-30 years on from him leaving the band but dropped some good anecdotes. Hope he is doing well still.

The new @whitelands.bsky.social single ‘Glance’ is out now.

Here’s a clip from the video by Cameron Perry, starring @bafta.org Rising Star winner David Jonsson (currently in ‘The Long Walk’) and Honor Swinton Byrne (who appeared alongside her mother, Tilda Swinton, in ‘The Souvenir’).
