Another good pod coming from @nmtdambusters.bsky.social @lydiajane13.bsky.social and @jamesjhistory.bsky.social. It seems the freakishly tall Stirling might not have been the total dud I thought. 1

The latest @nmtdambusters.bsky.social is one I’ve been waiting for: on the much-maligned Short Stirling. Fascinating and insightful. A plane that had weaknesses but was adapted for many important jobs.

A busy day. A productive IBCC / University of Lincoln partnership committee meeting with @flyingarchivist.bsky.social, Alex trained new student volunteers, and we took in a wizard collection of POW material containing interviews recorded with Dixie Deans... #History #WW2 @nmtdambusters.bsky.social
