The demand for Oak has been around for thousands of years, particularly popular amongst hard woods for its exceptional durability and elegant look. Demand was particularly prevalent during the 1700's that saw the rapid expansion of the Royal Navy which around its peak amassed some 300 ships, the most famous HMS Victory which can be seen today at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard is estimated to have used some 6,000 tree's in its construction (90% being Oak).

Do you know why we fly our flags at half-staff on certain days? It's a common sight not just for Americans but for people all over the world. Flying flags at half-staff, or half-mast, is a symbolic gesture used to honor or commemorate individuals or events of national or international importance. This practice is believed to date back to early naval traditions, where ships would lower their flags to indicate mourning for a fallen captain. The term 'half-mast' once referred to a flag being flown halfway up a ship's mast but is now used interchangeably with the term 'half-staff.' Today, the practice of flying flags at half-staff has become a widespread tradition all over the world to commemorate significant events or individuals. #Flags #UShistory #TheMoreYouKnow #MemorialDay

Some key reasons to choose one of my Normandy D Day Tours; A maximum of just 6 people (so perhaps a family group or group of friends) but people known to each other. Flexibility, because of the way the tours are designed, we can be felxible in what we see and how long we stay at any given point of interest, (for example the Braves Memorial at Omaha Beach). Informative & interesting, delivered by a tour guide with previous military experience. https://lnkd.in/gUcc2yF6

Let’s talk about employment. Generation Logistics are taking the conversation further this year with help from Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom and Sponsors.
