- RIP Gordon 'Titch' Mercier, a Halifax mid-upper gunner with 51 & 78 Squadrons. Sadly, Gordon died yesterday, 21st of January, one day short of his 99th birthday. @IntBCC

- Replying to @Tris_Stock and @MantiaHistory should always be open for debate and new interpretations - so facts depend on who you ask and when you ask them. As for standards - that's where historical method and use of sources come in.
- Replying to @simongerman600We have something very similar projected on a 7m screen at the @IntBCC in Lincoln. It runs for around 10 minutes and shows Luftwaffe bombing and V weapons too...
- Ernest Cutts at the tail of a Halifax 'U again' #OnThisDay 4 Feb 1945. He enlisted in the RAAF, and trained as an air gunner in Australia. He flew 34 ops with 466 and 467 Squadrons from RAF Driffield. There's a wizard interview with him in the @IntBCC Digital Archive.
