The Horsas and Hamilcars are loaded. The Dak engines are warming up and the lads from @hamandjampod are ready for the start of Round 2. Andy and @Horsa44 start recording this week. Clear the DZs and LZs - they’ll be coming in hot with some exciting content.
Here it is @hamandjampod listeners. Andy and Kev start the Next Round. We will record in October, but need your help. Submit your Arnhem questions below, so that our panel with @MikeHistorian and @airbornemedic23 can answer them. Kev will write your question in the log book.
Andy and Kev waiting patiently for the landlord to open the doors to the newly remodeled Horsa & Groom. New episodes of the podcast coming soon.
In a stunning turn of events, @hamandjampod’s Andy Bryant has learned his favorite pint glass was tossed out during the Horsa & Groom’s remodel. Andy will be toasting Ham & Jam’s Second Round this coming fall with a new glass.
Our own No. 2pilot, Kev, is on his way to Boston for the 2026 History Camp to give a presentation on the Formation and History of the GPR. Found a lighthouse in upstate New York.
The look of Andy and @Horsa44 when they realize the landlord has thrown away their favorite chairs after the Horsa & Groom remodel. Listeners should look for Round 2 of the @hamandjampod in the fall.
Congrats to our very own Andy Bryant on home ownership. At least @Gliderpilot44 has a place to softly land after a long night of Guinness at the Horsa & Groom.
On this anniversary Operation Varsity, dig into the archives and take a listen to Norma Graham and @MikeHistorian as they have a seat in the Horsa & Groom and chat “Hill’s Cowboys” and “Last Aasault.”
The lads are back to recording, but unfortunately @Gliderpilot44 has misplaced the equipment. Here Andy and Kev think about its last location.
Dammit, our man Andy has left the assembly instructions at home. Luckily for him @Gliderpilot44 has a copy in the car.
The story of the First Airborne Division didn’t end in September at Arnhem. John Greenacre joins the lads in the Horsa & Groom to discuss Operation Doomsday and what happened to the Division after Market Garden.
The lads, @matches4644 and @Gliderpilot44 raise a pint in celebration of Operation Biting - the raid on Bruneval to capture German radar equipment. To get to Op. Tonga, Op. Mallard, Op. Fustian, Op Market Garden, and finally Varsity - there needed to be Biting.
This week the lads from Ham & Jam celebrate the formation of the Glider Pilot Regiment. From its baby steps taken during Operation Ladbroke to the culmination of Airborne doctrine with Operation Varsity, the GPR is the embodiment of its motto: Nothing Is Impossible.
For our PATREON listeners - WE ARE BACK! Comms up and supply drop successful. Listen as John Greenacre has a chat with @matches4644 and @Gliderpilot44 in the Horsa & Groom and tells the lads there’s more to the First Airborne Division after Op. Market Garden.
Dog, Charlie, Fox, Hello Dog,Charlie Fox - For our listeners, the @hamandjampod will be on hiatus during February. @matches4644 and @Gliderpilot44 will be waiting patiently at the DZs to distribute the newly dropped episodes in March. Thanks to our listeners and cheers 🍻 from Andy and Kev.
He is considered the Father of British Airborne. Why not a “super” cut of the discussion between @matches4644 and @Gliderpilot44 about General F. A. M. Browning - otherwise known as Boy Browning? Have a seat in the Horsa & Groom and listen as the lads discuss.
We are “mad” for the super cuts. Take a listen as @matches4644 and @Gliderpilot44 have a seat in the Horsa & Groom and discuss the history and importance of Frederick “Boy” Browning in the super cuts edition of Mad About the Boy on the @hamandjampod
