Apologies for the signal cutting out on the pair of livestreams today! There seemed to have been problems with phone signal today in the area, but at the time.of the streams it was showing full 5G so what was going on? I am not sure.

I will try and track down some WiFi later.

Just a quick reminder that the 'Yamato - The Final Letters' project has a few more hours to run before it closes. It's been successfully funded, but if you haven't backed it yet and would like to, now is your chance.

Fans of the channel will get an exclusive collectible item associated with the channel as well (if you backed it independently, there will be a tick-box option in the pledge manager). Link below :)

So, the channel doesn't cover post-1950 naval history, for reasons I've outlined repeatedly over the years. However, as a piece of theory-crafting, would you want a one-off on if the battleship, or something you might style a 'battleship', has a role in the navies of the future?

So, motorcycle enthusiasts, a few months back I posted a video about the time an RAF/FAA air crash almost got my grandfather when he was a boy. I shared this photo of my great grandmother as part of it. So, my question is, does anyone know what make/model of motorcycle it is.

Yes, I may look into reconditioning one if I can find one at a decent price.

It begins! Heading for Japan to see all sorts on interesting naval history.

Schedule of places to be can be found on drachinifel.co.uk under the 'Meeting Drach' heading.

If you'd like to help towards the costs of the Shipshape 2025 Tour, you can do so here: www.ship-shape.org.uk/

If you backed the Australian or Scandinavian trips, Shipshape apologies for the delays, Australia baclers should have received their rewards, email me if something went astry in the post. Scandinavia rewards will be sent out when I get back as the Scandi Challenge Coins have only just arrived. Luckily Japan Challenge Coins are going to be delivered on a much faster timeliness!
