Weather forecast isn't looking that great again, hopefully things change.

Some good titles in there, I'm likely going to buy a couple.

I'll watch it if given the chance but if I'm honest the trailer was a bit of a disappointment.
1990's Memphis Belle holds more appeal. Even the B-24 bombing mission scene from Unbroken appears better.
But in this day in age not every WWII aviation film/series can be like The Battle of Britain.

My Grandfather would have been one of them. He enlisted in the Army in 1940 and looking at his records he joined the 1 NZ Tank Brigade in late 1941.
After training he embarked with the 9th Reinforcements in May 1943 and fought through the entire Italian Campaign with the 18th Armoured Regiment.
The book 'Rampant Dragons-New Zealanders in Armour in World War II' by Jeffrey Plowman has a good chapter on the 1 NZ Tank Brigade.

Not a bad little video. His VC is up for the sale and this video is trying to raise money so the RAF Museum can purchase it.

I see in the January 2023 issue of Britain at War (we are obviously a bit behind), there is a pretty decent write up on 3 Squadron and its role with Hudson's in the Solomons Campaign. Author is Tom Spencer.

I can't recall if I have posted these links before. I know I posted them on a Facebook page for Lockheed Hudsons, so apologies if this is a double up.
