Ready for episode 4 of Dispatches from the Dugout? Watch Matt, Rich and Tom chat about the Vickers and the context of the 1940s. On YouTube Friday 29 August at 8pm with extending episode (with firing content) premiering on Patreon at the same time. #dugout #secondworldwar
Special August Bank Holiday FREEBIE! patreon.com/posts/1907-lig… Every so often we will post a FREE item from the collection. If you like what you see here please do consider becoming a paid supporter as we have many more items to share.
And this only shows three boxes!
Marking the end of hostilities against Japan 80 years ago today. The GPR had been training in India for the forthcoming invasion of Japan. With the war now over, most would be repatriated, however some units would deploy to Palestine. We shall remember them.
24 superb photographs to share with our patrons today! Not a patron yet? Then please visit patreon.com/TheChalkCollec… and sign up, all proceeds go towards supporting and preserving the collection. Thank you. patreon.com/posts/sgt-keit…
patreon.com/posts/sgt-jame… By combining our research with @vickersmg we've been able to add to the recent VMGCRA Patreon upload (link in post) about Sgt. James Pearson, GPR. We intend to upload one FREE post each month, all subsequent posts will be exclusively for full patrons.
We've had our thinking caps on for a new way to share all the amazing objects and items in the collection, so we've set up a Patreon site which will help considerably, and allow us a little revenue to curate and store the items in our care. Thank you for supporting us.
The Chalk Collection retweeted
A remarkable set of papers accompanying an AB64 from Alistair Taylor’s legacy that we’re cataloguing and digitising at the moment. James Pearson was an early Glider Pilot who ditched in Augusta Bay, Sicily, and became a POW. All will be available on our Patreon.
So, what did you do at work today? @TankMuseum
A very enjoyable, birthday, visit to the de Havilland Aircraft Museum (much overdue) today… apparently they’ve also got some other exhibits besides the Horsa? 😊 @Gliderpilot44
