Met Alain. Liked him. As it happens I also met Ray, it was on the day of and at the location of his son Mark’s passing. RIP to both Alain who passed today (2/July/2022) and Ray 25/Sept/1999.

Absolutely unbelievable video: Alain de Cadenet delivers a brilliant piece to camera.... and then Ray Hanna flies the lowest of low passes in MH434. Gets quite a reaction 🤣. An oldie, but if this doesn’t cheer you up on lockdown, nothing will 👍

Electrically powered aircraft are no longer a vision of the future, but aircraft suppliers and manufacturers have great confidence that electric flight can make a significant contribution to the decarbonisation of aviation. Find out why here... ow.ly/Jcwq50JbRHq

We've spent the past few weeks as a family discussing the devastating situation in Ukraine, and so we intend to apply today to join other UK households in offering our home to provide refuge to Ukrainians until it is safe for them to return to their country.

We’re supporting #Ukraine 🇺🇦 by making it easier for those who are fleeing conflict to travel to the UK. Passengers who began their journey in Ukraine now do not need to fill in a Passenger Locator Form or take travel tests.

#AstronautSnoopy is no stranger to space. The Peanuts character inspired the name of the Apollo 10 lunar module and later caught a ride on the space shuttle. Now, Snoopy is going to the Moon as a zero gravity indicator aboard #Artemis I: go.nasa.gov/30esjn9

At just 19, @fly_zolo is set to become the youngest woman to fly the globe solo. Good luck to Zara who is setting off on her journey today – she is breaking more than just soundwaves by inspiring young people to consider futures in aviation ✈
