During a Japanese attack on Bougainville in 1944, Seabee E.C. Scarborough searched his foxhole for more ammo. He found and opened a package of gun clips that contained a slip of paper upon which was printed "Inspected by Mrs. Bernice Scarborough"...his wife. #SeaStorySaturday

#FunFact: Senior Lieutenant Kurt Welter of Germany is regarded by many as the highest scoring “jet” ace in history. Kurt is credited with 63 confirmed aerial victories, 20 of which were scored while flying a Messerschmitt Me-262, the world’s first operational jet fighter.

Lovely visit to Marston Moor battlefield yesterday, and with permission, walked to the viewpoint where the allied commanders were based on 2 July 1644. From here you can just see the obelisk (above the red dot) behind which Prince Rupert's Royalists were drawn up. Afterwards, we

Junkers Ju-88A-4 of KG-40 displayed in the Norwegian Aviation Museum, Bodo Norway. The bomber crashed on Gardevarre Mountain near Smorfjord on 13 April 1942 when it ran out of fuel after attacking Russian warships. The remains were recovered from the mountainside in 1982.

The irony meter just broke. The BBC isn't perfect, but it's one of the few things standing between our British values and a Trump-style takeover of our politics.
