A lovely weekend at We Have Ways Fest! Wonderful to meet so many people from Twitter and catch up with friends, all whilst immersed in excellent history. Well done on a fantastic festival Al Murray 🇺🇦 James Holland 😁

What a show! Many friends. Some old, some new. Sad it's over but ready for home!! This is also going on the wall 😁 #WHWF

Loved having you with us, and learned a lot too. Great dedication to detail and to making the past engaging. Thanks for joining us! Al Murray 🇺🇦 James Holland

Some redeeming qualities in Jacky Fisher: When stricken by seasickness whilst commanding the ironclad Inflexible he had a glass of champagne and a sandwich in the chart house to keep going. #history

🆕 I've created a hub that pulls together all the COPP operations carried out in Yugoslavia, as well as giving a bit of context to them. (I say "a bit", but in truth I went to town - oops!) ▶️ coppsurvey.uk/yugoslavia-hub

Weekend now please! And some rum!

Christmas starting well 😁

Bring up the PIAT!

HMS Wellesley - a ship of the line launched in 1815. Sunk by the Luftwaffe - 24 September 1940. She was the last ship of the line to be sunk and the only one to have been sunk by air.

Playing hearding cats. 🤣🤣🤣

🗓️ #OTD in 1943 – George Burbidge (centre) and Noel Cooper (front right) lose their lives during reconnaissance on Sicily. They're the latest losses suffered during early COPP ops after being rushed out from Britain. ▶️ coppsurvey.uk/march-1943/#un…
