The Northern IC sends our best wishes and a crate of pies to NW stalwart @riksbar.bsky.social who, returning from WHWFV, tested a Land Rover's ability to drive on its side.
Spoiler: it doesn't. Ouch.
Get well soon Erik, the pub meets are waiting. #WeHaveWays #NWmanDown

Our good friends @newarkairmuseum.bsky.social are having an Aerojumble on Sat 27th Sep, 9am-4pm.
Highly recommend visiting the superb museum and then stocking up on all the stuff you never knew you needed but, once seen, it somehow ends up on a shelf at home. #WeHaveWays #AvGeek

Once again a crack lean mean unit of the We Have Ways Northern IC selflessly sacrificed their bodies to surround many pies, countless fish and many chips in Preston,
And they waffled.
Excellent company as always.
Next NW pub meet: Sat 23rd, Liverpool.
It'll be snorkers all round....😉

It's hot!
30 Degrees and only mad dogs and the Northern IC would be doing a 15 mile Dambusters march in the Sat sun ... but all for Finley's Touch .

Agree, a theatre and is rarely mentioned in terms of the FAA. Excellent book, highly recommended.

@whwnorthernic.bsky.social
Read this a couple of week's back, absolutely corking read about a bit of the war the podcast doesn't mention too often, and hasn't been mentioned too much at the three WHW fests I've been to. The FAA in the Pacific theatre.
