This boat, now in IWM London, came from a vessel that was attacked by a German naval raider in 1940. The raider's captain ordered his men to fire on survivors in other boats. He was later convicted of war crimes and died in prison.

Something certain people might like to reflect on.

Paging @bigbernie.bsky.social we were talking about aircraft not spoken about as often only yesterday, here’s one that slipped my mind!
The Vickers Warwick, which first flew in Aug 1939, was intended to be a twin-engined ‘heavy’ bomber. However, following performance issues and protracted development the type wasn’t required by Bomber Command. Instead, Warwicks served with Transport and Coastal Commands.

A short video of my layout ‘Tsuru no Michi’ a Japanese N gauge layout to a scale of 1:150

Today we see D51 class 2-8-2 D51 893 on a coal train whilst in the opposite direction two powerful C62 4-6-4s C62 36 & C62 34 haul the 43 Series Express “Michinoku”

On Thursday I had the honour of returning Jenny Lind to the main line, admittedly 152 times too small and on the London Chatham and Dover rather than the Brighton but no less a win

Trains are running again, cork has gone down at the rear and final place and the front wood has had a second coat of black paint

A new law could give millions of us better rights at work, but corporate lobbyists & politicians are trying to gut it. Tell the Government: protect workers, not profits!

UK Government: Keep your promise to protect workers
Zero hours contracts, unfair ‘fire and rehire’, waiting months or even years to be able to access benefits – the world of work in our country is weighted against actual workers. It’s billionaire bosse...

A weeks progress as I am about to depart to watch Demon Slayer Infinity Castle a second time a video that combines the situation a week ago when I was about to depart to watch the film the first time with the layout today! Rather pleased with it! @bigbernie.bsky.social

Almost exactly as I hoped it would look! @bigbernie.bsky.social thank you for your amazing help in bringing Tsuru no Michi to life!

Big milestone reached!

The latest view of Tsuri no Michi, most of the grass down, just popped out to get the paint for the river and roads/paths then afterwards it will be the water pour! I feel like the finish line is starting to come into sight for it to be show ready.

15 days to go until the show and 3 days away from a week on since my fine friend @bigbernie.bsky.social built the baseboard, SL Hitoyoshi and SL Yamaguchi are the first two trains to run on Tsuru no Michi!

apparently, yesterday was National Hummingbird Day, and it reminded me of something I saved off the other place a few years ago - someone (I’ve lost who, sorry) made this KC-135 Hummingbird feeder!

It got me thinking about a fighter-sized bird..
