As JFK once famously said, “I am a sausage!”
Some goods ideas there, Martin! The NATO and Berlin ones appeal most to me, but there is certainly some good potential with the others.

Re: some anniversaries in 2024
6th April 1814, 210 years since Napoleon Bonaparte's abdication and the end of the Napoleonic Wars, which actually was a World War of 25 years length
Take in figures, artillery and sailing ships. Take in the US - UK war of 1812
15th August 1944, 80 years, Operation Dragoon, the forgotten invasion of France, in the south
June to August 1914, 110 years, the start of World War 1 for the Europeans. US Americans have to wait a bit longer
1914, Blackburn Aircraft company founded (Skua. Roc, Firebrand, Beverley, Buccaneer )
1924 Imperial Airways founded
1914, Mercedes dominated the last Grand Prix race season before WW1 started - all Mercedes cars
Just some thoughts

"Ich bin ein Berliner". A Berliner is in fact a doughnut so he said "I'm a doughnut"
On another point, didn't we do a NATO GB last year? Maybe we ought to do a Scandinavian GB as a welcome to Sweden and Finland joining Nato, the Swedes in particular have some really interesting stuff in armour as well as aircraft.
It's only pain, work through it.

Re: some anniversaries in 2024
We did a NATO GB in 2020 - just seems like yesterday...! We could certainly target a particular region and Scandinavia is a great idea - any equipment used by any of the four countries since the country since joining NATO, perhaps?
