    A House Fit For A Prince And Princess
    Though they have only just announced their engagement, according to reports Prince William and Kate Middleton have been already been 'playing house' for several months.

    The pair have allegedly been quietly living together at the cottage rented by William on the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales.

    The Prince set up home at the isolated cottage because it is near to RAF Valley Base, where he has been training to fly search rescue helicopters.

    And with William still having three more years at the base, this means the couple will start their married life in Anglesey.

    Which shouldn't be too much of a challenge as they have already reportedly been 'road testing' married life.

    In the past six months the pair have taken to spending much of their time together in the close-knit community - though Kate still officially lives at her parents.

    Locals around the island have become accustomed to seeing the pair and the area offers them quiet and relative privacy.

    Once William has finished his three year stint it is thought that the couple may move to an eco-friendly house built by Charles at Harewood Park in Herefordshire.

    Tornado jets at RAF Marham, Norfolk, Britain - 02 Dec 2015
    Britain's Tornado jets were being prepared at an airfield in Norfolk today as they get ready to join the Syrian air strikes - if MPs give the go-ahead this evening. Engineers were seen checking over the fighter jets at RAF Marham as Parliament meets to vote on whether the UK should join the air strikes against Islamic state militants in Syria. If the MPs agree then the jets could be flying out to the RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus within hours of tonight's vote, which will take place at around 9pm. The planes were also spotted flying in and out of the Norfolk airbase today as military activity was stepped up.
    British Tornado fighters have been involved in airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq for the past year. Prime Minister David Cameron presented his case for war in the Commons last week saying UK air strikes against Islamic State militants in Syria would "make us safer."

    Prince Albert Jacob finally received his medals two years ago and shook hands with the king on VE Day. 'It's a dream,' he says.

    VE Day: Die Rolle der Frau in Kriegszeiten in Bildern des Women’s Auxiliary Air Force Corps der britischen Luftwaffe
    SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
    To coincide with the 80th anniversary of VE Day an archive of rare wartime photographs has been released documenting the pivotal but often overlooked role of women in military filmmaking during the Second World War.
    Published by Historic England to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the collection – curated by Dorothy ‘Knicky’ Chapman – captures the life and work of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) photographers, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive world of wartime film production at Pinewood Studios.
    Chapman was among the first cohort of women trained at the No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool, later serving at RAF Iver Heath – the wartime name for Pinewood Studios. There, she played a key role in the RAF Film Production Unit (RAFFPU), working on military films and documenting both training and operations.
    Duncan Wilson, Chief Executive of Historic England, said: “As we mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, this remarkable collection commemorates the unsung heroes of the Second World War and sheds light on the history of wartime filmmaking. The photographs provide rare insight into a lesser-known aspect of our wartime heritage, from the crucial role of Pinewood Studios to the pioneering women of the WAAF.”
    The archive contains over 150 photographs, many never seen before, showing behind-the-scenes moments from Chapman’s time at Pinewood as well as candid scenes from her WAAF training. Among them are images of model aircraft being built for film sets, RAF and WAAF personnel at work, and members of the photographic and film units capturing vital footage used to inform the public and bolster international support for the Allied war effort.
    Pinewood Studios served as a base for several key wartime film units, including the RAFFPU and the Army Film and Photographic Unit (AFPU). These units produced powerful propaganda films, newsreels and training materials – including coverage of major events such as *** Local Cap

    The archive contains over 150 photographs, many never seen before, showing behind-the-scenes moments from Chapman’s time at Pinewood as well as candid scenes from her WAAF training. Among them are images of model aircraft being built for film sets, RAF and WAAF personnel at work, and members of the photographic and film units capturing vital footage used to inform the public and bolster international support for the Allied war effort.

    The archive contains over 150 photographs, many never seen before, showing behind-the-scenes moments from Chapman’s time at Pinewood as well as candid scenes from her WAAF training. Among them are images of model aircraft being built for film sets, RAF and WAAF personnel at work, and members of the photographic and film units capturing vital footage used to inform the public and bolster international support for the Allied war effort.

    To coincide with the 80th anniversary of VE Day an archive of rare wartime photographs has been released documenting the pivotal but often overlooked role of women in military filmmaking during the Second World War.
    Published by Historic England to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day, the collection – curated by Dorothy ‘Knicky’ Chapman – captures the life and work of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force (WAAF) photographers, offering a rare glimpse into the secretive world of wartime film production at Pinewood Studios.
    Chapman was among the first cohort of women trained at the No. 2 School of Photography in Blackpool, later serving at RAF Iver Heath – the wartime name for Pinewood Studios. There, she played a key role in the RAF Film Production Unit (RAFFPU), working on military films and documenting both training and operations.
