✈️⚔️ Returning rager @spitfirefilly.bsky.social reminds us the Luftwaffe was never invincible — and the RAF knew it fast. The myth collapses almost immediately.
🔥 Still believing in an unbeatable enemy? Correct the fantasy.

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,

What better day than Remembrance Sunday to remind people that there IS such a thing as "Good Harassment", other than Remembrance Day itself?

My perfect final round of #Pointless on BBC1.

Needless to say they’ve chosen one airfield correctly and two complete bozo answers. And they didn’t choose the film question.

My father fought for King and Country in the @royalairforce during the #BattleOfBritain in #WorldWar2. He survived, though was wounded when the Luftwaffe bombed his airfield.

Nine years ago today I walked from Rochester to Sissinghurst, en route for Hastings. I happened upon a touching #BattleofBritain crash site, near #Staplehurst: P/O Clifton died there on 1 Sept 1940. I visited his grave, near Taunton, a couple of years later. RIP 'Curly' Clifton. (See Alt text.)
