Fulltime Announcement

I never imagined this would be how I announce going full time, but the circumstances at hand have decided my path for now.

This is a dream many hope to achieve, and while I wish it could be done under happier conditions, we will continue to push forward.

@profgsheffield.bsky.social so glad I found you in here! When I was about 17 I won a school prize for History and got Forgotten Victory and it was a revelation. Thank you for your years of work in the field

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Guy Gibson was, at 24, probably the most experinced pilot in Bomber Command, with 99 night fighter sorties and 71 Bomber Ops in 1943. He was also a broken man.

Stanley Baldwin said in 1932 "The Bomber Will Always Get Through" as part of a panic that swept Europe & the US from the late 1920s on about huge civilian casualties; in 1937 the British govt estimated 600,000 dead and 1.2m wounded in the first 60 days of a new conflict...fortunatley they were wrong

From 1943 100 Group of Bomber Command created "Moskito Panik" amongst Luftwaffe night fighters, flying intruder missions to hunt the hunters. They claimed 258 kills in 1944/45. Such was the fear in Nachjadger fliers their accident rates were well north of 50% in 1944.

Hurricane II's in produciton, Slough c.1943. In 1936 the UK began building shadow factories to boost produciton numbers and take over in the event main line factories were destroyed. The scheme proved difficult initally but became a vital part of the war effort.

The SOE, aka the Baker Street Irregulars, was tasked by Churchill to set Europe ablaze in 1940. Mostly what they did was get tortured to death. N (Dutch) Section was basically run by the Abwher until the end of 1943, F (French) Section

1.1m men flew for the RAF. Just 20/month were formally charged with LMF - offical speak for cowardice. But the stigma and scars went far deeper. If you want to find out more youtu.be/qvk031umeAc will premier in 2 hours time
