Given the people involved, I'd expect some top-drawer #NavalHistory viewing if you're in the UK tomorrow :)
SUNKEN WARSHIPS: SECRETS FROM THE DEEP premieres on 5 Select TV tomorrow at 8pm. Examining the short but dramatic career of the Scharnhorst. Both myself and Alex Clarke are in this one!
Very much looking forward to speaking for the British Modern Military History Society on Nov 7th about Nelson & Trafalgar (and of course the Pickle, as the date is so close to Pickle Night!) Info here - www.bmmhs.org/bmmhs-zoom-t...
A poignant battlefield walk at Mount Harriet. Famously captured by 42 Commando Royal Marines on the night of 11th-12th June 1982 🇫🇰
Felt so grateful to have been invited down to the Falklands to speak & I met some amazing people. Now home, sadly, but a piece of my nerdy little battlefield touring, spotter, penguin obsessed heart will remain here in the South Atlantic until I can return 🇫🇰⚓️🩵
Me: "gozome? gozomé? What does that mean?" A random RAF chap at MPC: "GoesHome - the big grey bird out there" 🛫 Me: "Aaaaah 🤦♀️🤣" Nice stamp from Asi too!
Two 3-pdrs at Government House, Stanley 🇫🇰 One cast by Francis Kinman in Lambeth & one by I.H King at Woolwich (both dated 1807) Cyphers of King George III on both. Those farthest away of John Pitt, 2nd Earl of Chatham, Master-General of the Ordnance #GunneryIsFunnery 💥💣
