Interesting detail on the surrender ceremony in this lady's obituary: Susan Hibbert - Telegraph Susan Hibbert, who died on February 2 aged 84,...
Thanks - I knew the serial number rang a bell, but I didn't realise EP120 was that famous! I still think clipping the wings made it less attractive,...
A Handley Page O/400 to be precise.
A very brave and honourable man indeed. I wonder what the Nazi leader would have made of this? On an individual level if not a national level,...
You can see the bullet hole in the periscope (the one on the right of the second picture). Several other submarines that tried this never made it...
Some of you may remember that about 18 months ago I posted some pictures of a 1/72 scale Desert Hurricane which my daughter had completed with a bit...
Tragic, but Curacoa's crew knew the score (or the officers did anyway). Queen Mary had to get through; the cost in lives and propaganda if she...

CR71 Thank you for a very interesting account. The SMK looks very modern for its time. But I think it would have been too complicated to build in...
. I was afraid someone, probably an American soldier, would respond to my comment like this! I don't doubt that the Apache is an extremely welcome...
Hi Kev Welcome to the Forum! This Roll of Honour is certainly a very interesting artefact. Sometimes the term Roll of Honour was synonymous...
I seem to remember that Albert "Smiler" Marshall was the last surviving British soldier to have drawn his sabre in a cavalry charge. I can't...
