Sites of the Month
January to June
For this January I have chosen a blog that covers British Defence matters which is often critical, but with great insight.
I normally avoid making a Blog site of the month, but not to include this one would be churlish.
For this month I have chosen to celebrate the:
International Year of Astronomy 2009
By Selecting the IYA2009 United Kingdom Site as Site of the Month.
Also see:
International Year of Astronomy 2009 - Worldwide Site
This month I wanted a site with an technology heritage theme and decided to select the:
Museum of Science and Industry (MOSI) in Manchester
as Site of the Month

The 6thJune 2009 marks the 65th anniversary of the D-Day Landing in Normandy. For the 60th anniversary I chose D-Day - 06th June 1944 as site of the month. This time I have decided to mark this anniversary with the English version of a French Site by Patrick Elie:
D-Day - Operation Overlord - Landings and Battle of Normandy
The French Language version of this site is here:
D-Day - Normandie 44 : Etat des Lieux - Débarquement et Bataille de Normandie
