Cabaret Rouge Commonwealth War Graves cemetery in August this year. Remembering the sites and sounds of this remarkable site today as we mark #remembranceday. #LestWeForget

Taken the kids to soft play and I think the #MilitaryHistory affliction might be worse than previously diagnosed. All I see is the Siegfried Line. #WW2 #History #Biker WW2 Pod: We Have Ways of Making You Talk #WHW #DragonsTeeth #SendHelp

On my shelf since 2018… shamefully only just read this by Arkady Ostrovsky. In many ways more interesting post-24th Feb ‘22. Highly recommend it if you want to understand media manipulation in #Russia and the relative ease of maintaining #Putin’s cult of personality. #Ukraine

I genuinely never ever get bored of seeing and hearing RAF Lakenheath go overhead. You’d think daily flyovers by #F15 #F35 #Osprey #Chinook #Apache #KC135 would get annoying…but no. #WeAreLiberty #USAFE #RAF

Another interesting read post #russianinvasion. I’ve picked up Huntingdon’s #ClashOfCivilisations for the first time since uni. Quick to denounce Mearsheimer on #Ukraine…sadly, Sam P H was a little off the mark. #InternationalRelations #IRTheory #Putin #RussiaIsATerroristState

My pleasure to show off historic #Norwich to my friend Roman from #Ukraine, a Political scientist working as a labourer in Essex to earn money for a family move to UK. Gr8 day seeing my city through visitor eyes. Not a word of shared language between us mattered not. #SlavaUkaini

Just finished watching #Devotion. Solid 7.5/10 for this for me. Compelling and not too “American” (sorry America). I’m far from convinced on some of the tactics, but no expert. Besides, that’s not what this film was for. A good watch. #MilitaryHistory #Aviation #KoreanWar #AVGeek

This is such a non-story. I know #Russia are deliberately propagating it and the uninitiated would justifiably panic at the word ‘uranium’, but #Challenger2 AP rounds have always been so. Have they not? #Ukraine #ScareMongering bbc.co.uk/news/world-eur…

Super useful having a toddler help as you change the exhaust. The party blower added comedic effect. All went well until he punched my 8mm spanner mid-task. #BikerLife #ToddlerHelp #Biker #SummerPrep #AdventureBike

Life’s got in the way of biking recently. A welcome 2hrs round #Thetford Forest. Visited the nearby Cromwell Tank perched atop the memorial to 7th Arm Brigade #DesertRats and glorious roads cris-crossing the forest. #History #Biker #Motorcycle #WW2 #Tank

Went looking for this humble little #Norfolk memorial after work. Dedicated to 466th Bomb. Group who flew B24 Liberators from RAF Attlebridge in #WW2. Something very touching about small, inconspicuous sites like this. And the #East is flush with them! #History #Biker #USAF

Flown from Norwich Airport a lot, yet somehow missed this little memorial to all #RAF and #USAAF units and aircraft that flew from here when it was RAF Horsham St Faith…#Blenheim #Liberator #Spitfire #Mosquito #Thunderbolt #WW2 #MilitaryHistory #AVGeek

Poor TRIUMPH is unwell. Won’t start and no obvious cause. Children were hugely helpful of course but to no avail! Pending some diagnostic help she’ll be off to someone far more qualified than I! #Biker #Triumph #AdventureBike #ForTheRide

Found behind #Norwich Cathedral. Memorial to 97 men of #Norfolk Regiment massacred at Le Paradis in Northern France, defending the Dunkirk evac. In May 1940. Never knew this was here. #History #WW2 #LocalHistory #NorfolkRegiment #Dunkirk #WorldWarTwo
