S/Lt Mac McCartney-Samples a @RoyalNavy Fleet Air Arm Observer, who flew Fairey Swordfish torpedo-bombers with pilot S/Lt Pat Kingsmill, in 825 Naval Air Squadron. One of just 5 survivors of the famous "Channel Dash" strike 02/1942 on German battleships Scharnhorst & Gneisenau.
In a new feature for the museum, our first Object of the Week is the watch that was worn by Sub Lieutenant Reginald 'Mac' McCartney-Samples during the Channel Dash. https://t.co/6zgpKk4MCs

The Manston Spitfire Experience has been lucky enough to host two Second World War RAF veterans in the past week, Mr. Peter Holloway and Mr. John Musselwhite, both of whom enjoyed their experience with the simulator. https://t.co/BFR13BM8lp
