The Battle of Jutland: 110 years on
Josh Bassett, Founder of Historigraph is returning this year to talk about the Battle of Jutland – the largest single naval battle in history. Fought in May 1916 at the height of the First World War, this titanic clash saw the British and German fleets clash, with a combined 100,000 sailors and 250 ships. At stake was naval control of the North Sea and with it perhaps the course of the entire war.
Now you see me, now you don’t!
Camouflage has been used on military aircraft and vehicles for many, many years, but when did it actually start, who had it first? Come and hear about some of the amazing versions of camouflage, zebra ships and find out why would you paint a Spitfire aircraft pink to make it harder to see? David Morris, Curator of Aircraft at the Fleet Air Arm Museum talks us through the history of Camouflage, colours and markings on military aircraft ships and vehicles, with some intriguing, surprizing and less obvious insights.
There will be a break between the talks at 8.15. Price includes tea, coffee and biscuits.
