In 2013, my great friend & director Mark Craig asked Gene Cernan - the last human to walk on the lunar surface - what words he had for the next astronauts to go to the Moon. And here they are, in tribute to @NASA's Artemis II crew & those that will follow. Please watch with volume up.

For #BattleOfBritain we remember ‘The Few’. Eighty-five years on, the RAF’s aircraft have changed but the spirit's the same. Many thanks to the producers of the 2018 film #Spitfire. Aerial photography by John Dibbs.

Honouring Paddy Hemingway DFC, the 'Last of The Few'. Now the memories of that great battle reside in our histories and not the minds of men.
Blue Skies, Sir.
17 Mar 2025
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII.
Paddy, thank you for your service.

To celebrate the birthday of the Spitfire, here is a sublime image take by John Dibbs for our 2018 documentary. We made our film in honour of all those who designed, built, flew and supported this icon of the skies in defence of precious freedoms.

Remembering the #Dambusters. They will not be forgotten.
16 May 2024
Tonight, as we sleep soundly in our beds, we remember the bravery, determination, and sacrifice of the men of 617 Sqn who, 81 years ago tonight, undertook the daring #Dambusters mission. Many of them paid the ultimate price for the mission's success. They will not be forgotten.

We're sad to hear John Bell has passed away.
We interviewed John in 2018 & he described dropping a Tallboy bomb on the V2 bunker at Wizernes, France.
“I watched it all the way down ... [it] suddenly exploded alongside the dome ... and I shouted out BULLSEYE!”
