Over at the 100 Squadron Association, we've got a fundraising campaign for a memorial plaque at the @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social International Bomber Command Centre in Lincoln. If you can contribute anything, however small, we'd appreciate it, and a share too www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

My beloved Cardiff are off to a flying start this season. But, Sheedy's header, legal or not? #CardiffRugby www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-...

URC: Callum Sheedy 'header' goes viral as Cardiff fly-half admits surprise

Cardiff fly-half Callum Sheedy says he did not realise his "header" against Scarlets in the United Rugby Championship (URC) game would go viral.

Leg update. It's buggered 👍🙄🤣 As well as all the antibiotics I'm taking, I'm now on iodine dressings. Our bedroom smells like a horse stables 😳🙄🤣🤣

Flight Attendant on the 09:20 from Glasgow reminded passengers to ‘take everything with you.’ Big mistake…

"I'm going to say this once, and once only Gene Hunt. Stay out of Camberwick Green." I can't breathe here for laughing!! 🤣🤣

03:45, and after a stupidly early start for work yesterday and consequent early night last night, I've been awake for an hour. And I've managed to contract cellulitis in my leg, which is jolly painful let me tell you. But I have an Ivo Peters book on a favourite route, which pleases me. That 9F ❤️

Afternoon Bluesky chums. I have about a dozen tobacco tins like this. Before I consign them to the metal recycling at the tip, does anyone want any of them? Useful food r keeping radio spares / model spares / screws / nuts etc. in. Let me know if you want any, have as many or as few as you want 👍🙂

Today's modelling efforts, all for my 009 layout. A small signal cabin, and a gunpowder van based on the ones used on the Talyllyn Railway. Both need a bit more weathering I think, but overall, I'm happy with these.

I did some work at a proper posh club in London yesterday and this fabulous statue was alongside it. Air Chief Marshall Sir Keith Park, who with Air Chief Marshall Hugh "Stuffy" Dowding were the architects of victory in the Battle of Britain in 1940.

I am now vaping in such a way as to create RF morse in my Bluetooth headphones. Simple things and all that...

Many of you know I'm a pipe smoker. When I can't smoke my pipe, such as when I am in the bath in my hotel room, I use a vape. I need to tell you they are very poorly suppressed. Wearing my Bluetooth headphones to listen to stuff, every time I use my vape, I'm getting RF in my headphones.

Can you tell what I was spraying yesterday? A coat of primer to be precise.

Where the blue blazes have I put my WAB folder on my PC?!

So @captain-mushroom.bsky.social and me are going to have a bash at running an FM net for next month's #145Alive event. We'll be way out west in Pembrokeshire (much further west and your hat starts to float) and we'll either be v. busy, or bored and make mischief 👍😆🤣 145alive.com/nets/206-pem...

Right then Bluesky chums, does anyone have any idea what this seemingly useless device is on the back of our hotel room door?

Since 2022 when we were stood down as an active RAF squadron, our memorial adjacent to the former RAF Grimsby has become our spiritual home. I'm stood on ground once walked by Grandfather who did a full tour plus three from here in 1945. The memorial is well-tended by locals #100Squadron ☠️☠️

83 years after she left for her new home with 550 Squadron at RAF North Killing home, 'The Phantom' has just touched down at the former RAF Grimsby and parked up by what remains of the former Flying Control building #100Squadron

Calling #CQ on 2m just north of #Lincoln this morning, is everyone still in bed?! #HamRadio #HamR #AmateurRadio

How we like to round off a day of cathedralling and IBCC-ing. A decent west country cider. Yes it's bottled and fizzy, and yes it's made by a family sharing an unfortunate surname, but it tastes wonderful and is the perfect blend medium and dry and is proper. Chin chin my fine Bluesky friends!!

1/3 A rather emotional afternoon @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social I found a fair few 100 Squadron chaps on the big steel memorial panels. Particularly W/C Dave Holford, our C.O. in late 1943 and the youngest Wing Commander in the @royalairforce.bsky.social at the time. Getal Hood, who survived...

We have arrived @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social

Firstly, breakfast in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral @lincolncathedral.bsky.social

1/5 Morning campers. Today the Station Manager and I will be visiting @lincolncathedral.bsky.social (Bomber Command No.1 Group Roll of Honour is in there) and the International Bomber Command Centre @ibccdigitalarchive.bsky.social . I've been researching and writing about Bomber Command for over...

Passing through Newark on the way to Scampton, it would be criminal not to have called in @newarkairmuseum.bsky.social to see what cake was in the café today. The place is looking better than ever 👍🙂 And the tea, as always, is fab!! #EveryNAMvisitCounts

A few days away starts today, before starting my new part-time job next week. We're starting in Lincolnshire (Lincoln Cathedral and the International Bomber Command Centre) before heading to Yorkshire on FRiday (via the 100 Squadron Memorial at Waltham, just outside Grimsby) on Friday.

I'm no qualified pilot, but, uuurrrmmm....
