Great event coming up at the International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln on Saturday, 21st June with WW2 Mosquito veteran Flt Lt Colin Bell BEM, DFC! The link in the poster shows how to get tickets (period dress optional) See you there!

@DaveWallsworth @Airbus Very nice! Shorter gaps between hand flying, for once!

Lovely day out from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires and back in the first of our @Airbus #A350 aircraft, G-XWBA. It’s great to do a couple of shorter flights when the vast majority of our work on the A350 is 6-14 hours. Now, where is the steak and Malbec 😄🥩🍷

@almurray @James1940 @WeHaveWaysPod @ww2wtg Well done, Al ! We at @PeoplesMosquito have just launched our VE80 campaign!

Coming soon: Victory '45 (we've just done exactly those ads) @james1940 @wehavewayspod @ww2wtg

@almurray @RAFBBMF @SpitfireFilly Phew, indeed!

We are pleased to announce we will be flying our Merlin engine fighters this Display Season!

@katherinealee Excellent! (I used to live in Wroughton)

Perfect weekdays (this was a few days back) are spent in my favourite pub with a pint of ale ❤️

@leefer3 Grand stuff!

@JohnNicholRAF And a Happy Birthday to THE Man, Colin Bell, DFC. I last met him at RAF Marham. I still owe you that bottle of bubbles, Colin! peoplesmosquito.org.uk

Happy 104th (yup, 104!) birthday to a friend and legendary RAF hero Colin Bell DFC. A simply incredible man, still enjoying life to the full. His drive and vigour puts most of us to shame!

@SamMorshead_ Hope the Robins have your phone number!

Introducing Sid: son number two and future Swindon Town number nine. Been a tough few days but he's here and he's perfect.

@leefer3 What a lovely place - and a lovely couple, too!

Our favourite local spot for a walk today.

@JohnNicholRAF @JDVance Well said, John!

Dear Mr Vice President @JDVance, 34 years ago today I was released from captivity with the fellow American #DesertStorm Prisoners of War I had proudly fought alongside. Many friends, Brit & US, didn't survive. Fellow veterans politely add your own photos & details, & tag the VP?

@leefer3 Grand lad! Mine's in America, too, but he's 8 years younger than Aidan!

My goodness Teenager alert Happy Birthday to our Grandson Aidan who is 13 today. Though he lives in America he is always very close to our hearts. A special lad for sure Happy Birthday Aidan ❤️❤️

@jumpjim Crosswind trivia... limit on a Lancaster? 20kt

Here’s a link to an article I wrote for the Huffington Post about crosswinds which answers some of the more common questions we get... huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/plane-la…

After Storm Ciara, a few people asked what it’s like landing “sideways” in strong winds? This video shows Jonny Ard, one of our skippers, practising a crosswind landing at Heathrow in a 40 knot (46mph) crosswind on the 787 simulator..#calm #AvGeek

@leefer3 Don Rogers!

@jumpjim I think Godfrey needs a Human Licence !

Godfrey is 6 months old now. I’m not sure who’s the pet and who’s the owner tbh…😂 #pilotsdogs #dogs #dogsofX

@leefer3 Beautiful !

A first visit to the wonderful little church in Appleshaw St Peter in the Wood Andover

@leefer3 Imagine if the Beeching cuts hadn't happened!

Hard to imagine that at one time there was 5 train stations between #Swindon and Highworth

@KurtTank152 @tempest_books No as bad as the RAF in SEAC....Hurricane 2c to P-47D !

@tempest_books 4TH FG before they converted to P-47's? Wouldn't that be a transition?

Back when the Americans flew Spitfires!

@MartinLaGrang10 @tempest_books Yes they did! F-8, T.III, NF.30 and (mostly) PR.XVI ! Please see peoplesmosquito.org.uk. Or chat with me! (Chief Engineering Officer, TPM - we are building a MOsquito in the UK !)

@tempest_books They flew Mosquitos too....

@leefer3 And you as well. Have a grand time, both of you!

Me and my #Valentine Have a good weekend, everyone

@leefer3 I was amazed when I first went into the Co-op in Old Town, and found myself surrounded by folks with STRONG London accents - from the Parks!
