Trailer: Tales of Beatrix Potter

Though this movie has nothing to do with Christmas, it was still aired on Swedish television around that time for many years. So for me this is, and will always be, one of my most beloved Christmas movies.

"...Aeryn."

"Hrm?"

"Why is the Nutkin wearing a little Starlight hat?"

"If I said C'oretta did it--"

"I'd call you a liar as it's not pink, and matches your own red Starlight outfit."

"I had extra fabric. You have to admit it is cute--where'd that confection come from?"

"That was my next question."

I'm doing my horror assessment of Beatrix Potter tales, and let me tell you. After surviving watching the scary bits of The Untamed, these stories aren't quite as bad as I remember.

#squirrel nutkin is very scary if you are a squirrel. or have lots of owls around you house (i used to) #about me #Beatrix Potter #//// #///// #mdzs

Flying Officer B.P. “Squirrel” Nutkin of 266 Squadron RAF, seen here in a Hawker Hurricane Mk I flown by 266 during the Fall of France.

As the British Expeditionary Force were driven back by Guderian’s Blitzkrieg, 266 was badly mauled while keeping Luftwaffe bombers away from the Dunkirk beaches, losing enough Hurricanes that it re-equipped with the Supermarine Spifire Mk Ia just in time for the Battle of Britain.

Nutkin, resisting what was already becoming known as "Spitfire Snobbery", was one of the last 266 Squadron pilots to convert from his Hurricane. This snapshot, therefore, must have been taken at some time in mid-June 1940, between the end of Operation Dynamo on 4th June and the official start of the Battle of Britain on 10th July.

*****

It was during the BEF’s final withdrawal from Dunkirk that Flying Officer Nutkin, already with two kills to his credit, made ace in an afternoon and won his first DFC.

He was section leader of Red Section - comprising himself, Pilot Officer Tom E. Brock and Pilot Officer J.R.M.E. Fisher - providing top cover for the evacuation, when on 2nd June 1940 they found themselves up-sun from a raid directed against several of the “Little Ships” (civilian vessels with volunteer crews).

Red Section executed a perfect “bounce” that caught the enemy completely off guard, six Luftwaffe aircraft were shot down, and Nutkin personally accounted for two Junkers Ju.87-B Stuka dive-bombers as well as one Messerschmitt Bf.109-E4 from their escort.

(Representative images, not actual footage)

“Squirrel” Nutkin finished his RAF service in 1946 with the rank of Wing Commander. It’s widely believed he was promoted no higher after saying “Nuts!” to Air Vice-Marshal Trafford Leigh-Mallory, even though this turned out not to have been an insult, merely a misheard comment about which bar snacks were running short in the Officers' Mess.

Regardless of explanation, Leigh-Mallory - always notoriously pompous about his own image and reputation - made a disparaging entry in Nutkin’s file and refused to amend it. His later death in an accident meant the unwarranted black mark was never deleted.

This didn't concern post-war fledgling new airline BEA (British European Airways), and Nutkin joined them directly he left the Air Force…

…going on to become one of their senior captains before transferring to Transatlantic service with BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation).

During a layover in New York he met and later married Cicely van Gopher of the New Hampshire van Gophers, and on retirement from flying made a fortune in forestry.

“Some people can’t see the wood for the trees, but for some reason I'm quite good at both.”

Welcome to another post about models I designed that never got made for some reason!

Back before covid, in late 2019, we were going to build a set of models based on Beatrix Potter characters. These are the ones I designed; from top left to bottom: Jemima Puddleduck, Squirrel Nutkin, Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Flopsy Mopsy & Cottontail, Peter Rabbit, Pigling Bland and Tommy Brock.

Unfortunately due to covid we never built them. I grew up with Beatrix Potter books and had such a great time designing these, I was heartbroken when they never got made.

Mountain reading Beatrix Potter's books to Dew when he's regressed and vice versa. Dew loves The Tale of Tom Kitten, whereas Mountain's favourite is The Take if Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle. they both love The Tale of Peter Rabbit though. sometimes Rain will join them and his favourite is The Tale of Mrm Jeremy Fisher. when Phantom joins them he always insists they read The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin. but really its Mountain and Dew's thing. they normally read them sat together on the wicker bench in Mountain's greenhouse or snuggled up in Mountain's bed when the weather is too bad to go outside (normally when this happens its Dew who's reading to Mountain)

A list of books I have read this year. Will reblog everytime I update as I read more. Doing this a a bit of fun and to hopefully motive myself to read a bit more like I used to.

(I would like to state that I do not share/approve of the views or opinions of a certain author on this list. I just enjoy the books and won't let some poor excuse of a human being ruin them for me.)
