MERRY CHRISTMAS !

As the Hereford VBCW campaign exists in a notional timeloop, where no matter the number of battles - nor the rise, fall or explosive evisceration of campaign personalities - it is always, but always 1938, the celebration of Christmas can only take place once - and that is not yet. Still, this has not prevented the various factions, keen as always on propaganda and the currying of favour, producing their varying Christmas cards in anticipation:

A restrained offering from the Anglicans, featuring the Cathedral and Coat of Arms
of the See of Hereford. Restrained possibly because the Dean and Chapter are
presently in exile in Ludlow and the Cathedral closed to public worship
(by order of the BUF)

The BUF's own offering (an actual card from 1937).
Rather gloomy and teutonic...portrait of 'the Leader' free inside!

Speaking of Leaders, Comrade Colonel Professor "Bill" Winters (of the Presteigne Communist Faction)
has his own jolly offering, inevitably featuring Stalin. Not being a Christian (although
seminary trained) Stalin clearly offered an alternative Christmas message...

Whatever the factions various efforts, with the recent blogposts on No.1 Squadron RAF and the Hawker Fury, we thought some aerial action mixed in with a dollop of winter sentimentality might prove to be this year's best Christmas offering:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all!
