Trump’s demand that he takes possession of Greenland 🇬🇱 is a clear message to Putin’s Russia 🇷🇺.
It says “I don’t care about Europe 🇪🇺 or NATO. I’ll just take the bit on my side of the Atlantic, you can do whatever you want with the rest”.

“The first naked female my sons ever saw was Greta Garbo swimming happily in our pool”
This is one of many unforgettable lines from “The Moon is a Balloon” by David Niven. It’s the most entertaining book I’ve read in a long time.

There’ve been a couple of Jet2 A321s at LGW recently. Not part of the Jet2 expansion into LGW planned for 2026, but Santa 🎅🏾 flights to ENF, RVN and IVL in northern Finland 🇫🇮.

Thought I might share some pictures from my father’s photo albums and slides. He joined the RAF as a fitter around 1948 under national service. These pictures are from about that time.
I’ll try to share some pictures chronologically over the next week or two.
