Dresden Part 2 - Patreons Only

This is a bit of an experiment where we see if uploading to Patreon works, and whether folks want to watch it here, or wati for the YT expereince. Lets see, feedback greatly appreciated

In this video we’ll discuss the RAF and the USAAF’s raids on Dresden, right at the end of WW2; it wa...

A Modest Proposal

Hello folks, me again, I promise the next one will actually be a video, however I wanted to flag that I've decided, basically because it feels the right thing to do, to reduce the Patreon monthly subs from £6 to £5.

I use the money you so generously donate to do random shit like buy, as...

Woe Unto Those Who Seek 'Truth'

Hello hello

I thought I'd quickly drop a note out to you lovely people to say that the second Dresden video is about to go into production, with the aim of having it to you ASAP, ideally by the 13th Feb for no reason.

Secondly I thought you might appreciate a brief insight into some...

Lessons Learnt and Where Next

Hey folks, you're reading this because you are one of the wonderful people who's signed up to be part of the Hellfire club and I wanted to reach out to you with a bit of an update on a couple of things.

Firstly I made a bit of a boo-boo regarding the last video's release and a couple...

Dresden Part 1

Right, the story of the Dresden raids will go live this evening (20:00GMT) - grab a cup of tea and join me live as we begin with a few important tangents....

Dresden Part 1

Good morning, good evening, good day and so forth, the first video of 2026 is done and we're off to a happy, happy start, looking at the bombing of Dresden in 1945. As a member of the Hellfire Club, you will have access to this for a couple of days before everyone else gets it, so enjoy, be smug ...

The Inbetweeny Bit

My Lords, Ladies, and Fabulous Maybies, may I present for your delight and delectation, my latest offering “The Inbetweeny Bit” – an exploration of what the USAAF, Bomber Command and chums got up to in the second half of 1944…bombing themselves, bombing V1s, bombing themselves again, bomb...

Quickie Before Xmas

A Quickie before bed

So I just thought I had better update the fine members of the Hellfire Club as to exactly what the bloody hell is going on with video etc at the moment.

I’ve written about 15,000 words on the closing part of the bomber campaign going to the end of 1944, and I st...

And now for something completely different

Oh wondereous members of the Hellfire Club, lights of my life, joy of my loins, I bring you an offering! I,a dn the handsome, young and sadly Australian History of Everything have collaborated on a video in time for the Ashes, which start next weekend down under. Yes, for all of you who've ever w...

Good News and Bad

Cherubim and Seraphim

I have good news and bad news…bad news first. I am going to make the Cowardice and Courage video (https://youtu.be/qvk031umeAc) into a Premier, which means it’ll be unavailable for 24hrs – apol...

Lack of Moral Fibre (or Bran Flakes for your Guts)

My beautiful, hard drinking, hard swearing, hard of thinking freinds and fellow members of the Hellfire Club, I bring good news, because Lo! There is a new video just for you [until Friday]!

I began to write a section into the overall script for the Bomber War series on what the RAF called...

Bomber Command 1943 Full Episode

As promised the full supercut of Parts 1 & 2 is here in one glouriously stupidly long video. So if that is your bag come and join the premier at 21:00+1

The next video is going to be something a little different, and I'm really excited about it....updates soon!

Arrggghhh

Really, really sorry folks but YouTube has decided, despite the fact that exactly the same video was uploaded in long form and was acceptable, that for some reason, when cut in half and shown as a shorter video it is now no longer advertiser friendly. Sadly they do not explain why, and I...

Stand By Your Beds

I'm hoping to have Part 2 of the 1943 Bomber Command episode out this afternoon with any luck....probably 8pm UK time

GOOD NEWS

IT IS HERE - for those of you who haven't seen, the long form Bomber Command 1943.....

So Close

So I am hoping to be able to give you lovely lot the complete supercut tomorrow as I'm within a gnats gnadger of finishing the edit. I'll need to clear the hurdle of YT's censors who may do weird things, but with any luck you'll have 1hr 20 of bomber stuff tomorrow evening GMT.....plus this rathe...

Right You Lovley Lot

It's been 4 weeks, but I am now on the home straight editing the Bomber War Episodes 6 & 7 which you'll get as one huge 1hr 20min supercut once it's done and everyone else will get in two chunks over the next month. Bombs away Jenkins!

Stirling Work

For those in sunny England today, happy bank holiday, for the rest of you, get back to work!

I wanted to quickly update you all on where we're at and what's going on - so the good news is a fairly epic episode on the RAF's 1943 bombing campaign. It's an hour and 20 mins and I'll start prod...

Patreon's Version of The Flat Pack Ports

The Mulberry Harbo[u]rs - Reacting to TFE

Hello folks, firstly let me once again say a super-huge "thank you" without your support I could not keep buying all these damn books and making these videos, I really do appreciate your assistance. By way of reward, please find this freshly baked video I made, here fro you to enjoy before anyone...

A Harbour Goes To France

As those of you who are on Discord may or may not have gathered, I'm putting together a video on the Mulberry Harbours used at D-Day, as a bit of a response to The Fat Electrician's throw away line in his Garbo video because what would the Internet be if it weren't for the pedantically patriotic....

THE BESTEST EVA

Hey folks, as You Tube isn't always the most reliable, and in case you haven't spotted my frantic attempts to attract your attention yet, tomorrow, at 19:00 British Summer Time, that's GMT+1 because Scotland doesn't have street lighting, I'll be launching the premier of the Me210 video you have s...

Better late than never

After much farting about I finally FINALLY have the Me210 video ready to go. The plan from here is to begin the Bomber Campagain video again which I've been writing the first part of in the background (I'm 10,000 words in an haven't finished 1943....editing will happen) probably in the middle end...

An apology

So my latest video is now, officially late. This is basically because I have been melting in a heatwave, surrounded by fans and with no desire to switch on my power-guzzling PC and make things hotter still. HOWERVER! It is now recorded, so editing will happen over the next couple of weeks and I s...

Mighty Meteor Is A Go

For those of you who lurk here rather than anywhere else, the Meteor vido is premiering now and then Falcon is going to do the P-80 immediatley afterwards

The Mighty Meteor Is Here!

OK, I'm over selling it a bit, it wasn't totally shit....

Thank you ALL for your on going support, it means the world to me, so I hope you find this entertaining....and note that the special guest at the end has not yet finished their video so don't go looking for it just yet.....

Working Hard

Hello folks, just thought you'd like to know that my goal fixation is working in your favour once again, as I get together a video on the Gloster [sic] Meteor, under the careful supervision of Hades. This isn't exactly a colab but another well respected creator is doing a companion video on the P...

Dambusters Now With Actual Dams Being Busted

My dear friend, you will, I hope, be pleased to know that I have finished in the editing mines and as a result the final part of the Dambusters videos is up and operational. This time dams finally get busted and we look at what happened next and what it all meant.

Thank you, as ever, for y...

Just for you lovley Patreons, part 2 of the Dambuster series!

4 Minutes of Fun

I'm in the process of trying to wrangle the last 25% of Part 2 together, which is tricky because of names and machines and photos and maps all nmeeding to be on screen....a test of my editing skillz. So I thought you might appreciate seeing an edited version of 617 squadron practicing their bomb ...
