Sir Humphrey
Who'd have thought that scrapping, without replacement nearly 50% of your tactical airlift fleet, and then incorrectly claiming the RAF had more airlift capacity than at any point since WW2 would backfire.
Another example of the devasting loss of C130J.

Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP
The stories of our DDay heroes can never be forgotten & I will ensure this year’s #DDay80 commemorations deliver on that promise.
I was proud to join veterans on HMS Belfast today, alongside @GillianKeegan, as they inspired a new generation of schoolchildren with their bravery.

A classroom of schoolchildren enjoyed the ultimate history lesson today, as we work to ensure younger generations never forget the message of D-Day.
