I’m very grateful to Harry, John, and Aeroplane editor Ben Dunnell for the opportunity to contribute to both publications.

Secondly, my chapter examining the development and employment of Aerial Rocket Artillery helicopters by the US Army is in the collection Close Air Support, edited by Harry Raffal (@rafhistory.bsky.social) and John Alexander (@ac1shaw.bsky.social) and published today by Helion.

Sorry for the self-promotion, but I’m very pleased to see two pieces appear in print in the last few days. Firstly, my article on the decision to cancel TSR2 can be found in the Jan ’25 issue of 'Aeroplane' magazine, out last week (alongside @jdkightly.bsky.social’s excellent Wirraway article).

I’ll try to post more regularly in future, but I make no promises that they will be worth your time.

While I still research aviation history (and sometimes get around to writing something down), my interests also include military and naval history, civil/military relations, and photography. Sadly, I can’t offer proof of cat – we don’t have one.

Despite having posted very little in the last year, I seem to have attracted a few new followers over the last week and I ought to say hello. I am UK based; ex-Air Historical Branch (a long time ago); ex-RAF Museum (a very long time ago); and I have a Masters in Air Power History.

An aviation researcher's PSA. Here's a link to the 'Quality Aviation History Journals' listing I created a couple of years ago. Hope it's of use, it's provided free with no angle for me. Corrections, (constructive) comments, shares and updates welcome: vintageaerowriter.wordpress.com/quality-avia...

Hi everyone! Just migrated here from the other place, thanks to an invite code very kindly forwarded by @phillipspobrien.bsky.social. Interests are as in my bio. Currently drafting a paper on British bombing policy in 1943 to be delivered a RAF Historical Society seminar next week.
