I also daily post on what happened on this day (#OTD) in #WW2. If you already follow me, please "retweet" 😉. Will be appreciated!
Market Garden failed. Not because roads are narrow in Holland, not because British 30 Corps was slow and not because there were two German Panzer Divisions in the area. It failed because this bridge in Nijmegen was captured too late. Read/buy my two books. pre-jump.nl

Avro Vulcan B.2, XL319, ex-44 Sqn, RAF. This classic delta-winged bomber was a mainstay of Britain's nuclear deterrent. It was able to carry 21,000lb of conventional bombs or a stand-off Blue Steel weapon or a WE177 thermonuclear bomb. The NELSAM museum in Sunderland later bought it for £5000 🛩️⚔️📍

SO, lately I’ve been thinking about aircraft ‘identity’ in respect of vintage aircraft restoration. Since there is no official definition of ‘restoration’ (from the CAA or otherwise), one could stick a data plate on a brick and call it a Battle of Britain Spitfire. The so called provenance of 1/n
