'Bringing WW2 history to life'

Thanks for dropping in!

You've landed in the right place if you share a love of World War 2 history! I'm focused on bringing WW2 history to life with a healthy dose of passion, usually with a different perspective, but always with a touch of humor.


My mission is to ignite curiosity, question and challenge the existing narrative as well as fostering critical thinking through delivering captivating and dynamic lectures on WW2. 


Head along to HUT 5 right now for short stories and extraordinary tales - something for everyone from the files of what we could sometimes call Weird War 2!


Join me in uncovering stories that shaped our world through content and presentations that bring history to life - for enthusiasts, students and anyone who's just curious and wants to hear about some of the key events and people that shaped the outcome of WW2.

"A passion for storytelling..."

Most British kids in 1970 were building model Spitfires after the epic, all-star movie, “Battle of Britain”, was released. I was no exception.

 

That started a life-long interest and fascination with WW2 history which led me 14 years ago to becoming a docent and regular lecturer at Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum in Everett, WA.


An Honours graduate of the University of Aberdeen, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and Fellow of the Society of Antiquities of Scotland.

 

Transplanted from Edinburgh to Seattle some 21 years ago, regular visits back to the UK keep me brushed up with history with visits to museums and pubs to keep my accent authentic! 



Upcoming Lectures

I find history fascinating - war generates stories – lots of them. Some are bizarre, some heroic, some dreadful and others genuinely uplifting, showing humanity can still shine through dark times. 


Scroll down to see which incredible stories I'm exploring next!

'The Battle of Britain'


Myth Busting this epic aerial battle. In the summer of 1940, was Britain desperately running out of planes and pilots and just how badly was Fighter Command outnumbered by the Luftwaffe?
