Easy son ! 💨

One of those tricky days at Heathrow Airport, thankfully onto 27L with a low cloudbase and howling crosswind from the south

Let’s not ding a pod ! 🌀🌀🌀🌀

I think I can safely say that 5 titles in a row will not happen this season, blues. Hardly bad times for any of us that remember anything but the past few years and guess what?? Another game on Wednesday so get the moaning out of your system then get behind your team again! 🙂 #mcfc #mancty #CTID

Hawker Typhoon Ib. This fighter bomber type played a big part in the Normandy campaign of 1944. This one never saw action; she was shipped to the USA for testing, then stored. Acquired by the RAF Museum, she is seen here at RAF Coningsby, the home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

Imagine a sky full of hundreds of stars as bright as the full moon… If our solar system were a part of this “super star” cluster, that is what we might experience. Here is Webb’s look at Westerlund 1, one of the closest clusters of its kind. https://t.co/LyphCSpnwh https://t.co/kGFdvo2MLV

A couple of months ago… For those that know KORD, this is the end of a very (not unusual) extended taxi, waiting for our stand. A great photo taken by the ground staff. 787-10 is my personal favourite of the three variants. #AvGeek #AvGeeks #dreamliner #Chicago #B787

It’ a few years ago now, but I loved flying the 747. But… If I had to choose I ’d take the 787, possibly because my first command was on it. This could be controversial! 😬 #avgeek #avgeeks #aviation #744experience #boeing #qots #b747 #dreamliner
