The Chieftain talking about French armoured development.


Bloke on the range talking about how the Bren was used. Quite enlightening.  :D

"Looks like a giant bullet." D'uh!  =)
Also, you don't stand so close to a firing tank gun - lucky it wasn't the 120mm pieces fitted to today's MBTs.
What got me was the "blew my glasses off" ... then stand in exactly the same place.

The bloke hiding behind the Sherman as the 152mm went off was far more snsible.

OK, so I've only watched Confederates vol1, but it was quite an informative watch.


I am putting up the ACW as the war with the most irritating soundtrack. Banjo and fiddle!

Finally, Forgotten Weapons talks about a forgotten weapon! Great topic for all WWI and interwar fans! Do you think we could get some to add to the French WWI range?

This guy does nice, detailed videos about WW2 aircraft.  Above he explains the several reasons for the gull wing on the Corsair and below he explains the importance of high octane fuel in giving speed advantages to Allied (or at least US) planes.

Found this animated version of the Battle of Kulikovo. You can find an English dubbed longer version from which these battle scenes were taken but I found the dubbing distracting.

The above also led to the museum at Kulikovo which has an interesting diorama of the battle that uses lights to animate. I've seen this technique before but this one is particularly well done. The sound track has an interesting selection of music.

BBC radio play: The Enemy Below, which tbh I only knew from the film starring Robert Mitchum and Kurt Jurgens.

Good way to spend and hour and a half when you're painting.

First broadcast in 1963, the broadcast ends with the BBC news from November 1963 - with the main story being the death of Kennedy. (1hr 27min if you want.)

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
