One way in which the books were ahead of their time was in the prominence of female characters. It was Nancy Blackett of the Amazon, not John Walker of the Swallow, who resonated with me and with countless others. In #Swallows&Amazons, 4 of the 6 young leads are girls; in #WinterHoliday and #PigeonPost (the two best of the series for me) it's 5 out of 8. As an adult I've grown to appreciate the imaginative Titty and the empathetic aspiring #writer Dorothea as much as the rumbustious Nancy.

Really good podcast with @PaulCureton@twitter.com about how drones can and will change the landscape we live in. Pretty sure I asked the question about #pigeonpost too?
