On this day 1940 @RoyalNavy destroyer HMS Shikari sailed from #Dunkirk at 0340 - the last Allied warship to do so. Almost simultaneously HMS Vindictive arrived at Harstad to begin the evacuation of Norway. Check out #DunkirkAndTheLittleShips for more #WW2 amazon.co.uk/Dunkirk-Little…
During 1940 the German army swept with devastating speed into northern France and drove Allied forces back into a small pocket around #Dunkirk #OTD in 1940 Operation Dynamo began to evacuate soldiers Discover how events unfolded in @navalhistorian's Dunkirk and the Little Ships
Today is #worldbeeday! Bees existed long before human beings, but our future is perhaps more reliant upon them than any other species. They pollinate 80 per cent of the world's crops and plants, but how much do we really know about them? #Bees #Beekeeping

I love this poster! It appeared in guidebooks too so I used it to illustrate my @ShireBooks history of the British Seaside
This, in my humble opinion, is the best railway poster I've currently got for sale. Not the most expensive, but what fluidity and appeal. Printed for the Railway Executive to promote Coney Beach in Porthcawl & painted by the Spanish artist-designer Mario Hubert Armengol, 1952
