BATTLE OF BRITAIN DAY today. Despite the comparatively small numbers involved, this was a war-turning victory for the Allies. It kept Britain in the fight & forced Hitler to turn east far earlier than he’d planned with disastrous consequences. WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk Al Murray 🇺🇦 RAF BBMF

I am absolutely delighted that Air Marshal Harv Smyth has been selected as the next Chief of the Air Staff, and I have every confidence that he will lead the Royal Air Force brilliantly and make sure we are ready to fly and fight. x.com/RoyalAirForce/…

Currently completing research into Op WESERUBÜNG in the Scandanavian Campaign of 1940. Always talked about to varying degrees, depending on talks being delivered. More so the evacuation with HMS Glorious, Ardent, and Acasta, along with the Fleet Air Arm and Fighter Command
