@scottiebateman Thanks for That insite , had noticed Logan air ATR,s landing like this at Glasgow quite Often but didn't it know was a Crosswind landing Technique,

This video has been doing the rounds today. Many saying the landing was scary and the pilot would be getting a coffee-less chat with their Chief Pilot. None of these people know what they’re talking about!! High winged aircraft use a different crosswind landing technique when compared to other airliners. They fly using a ‘wing down’ technique and not one where the aircraft flies nose into wind. This technique means that often the upwind wing is lower than downwind, and the upwind main gear often touches down first. In my view, and I’ve done a few of these, this is a text book wing down landing. Good job. #aviation #pilotlife #pilot #FactsNotClickbait

@Fyrishsunset @Islandcroft With that description , you would guess she supports the SNP

@Islandcroft Seems to think nothing of gadding around the world, living the life of Riley, whilst asking workers to shell out for her chosen lifestyle. What a brass neck.

Oh, my giddy aunt! What a toe curler on International Women’s Day. I’ve never asked anyone to buy me drinks and never will. Embarrassing opportunism …

@StanVoWales @KevinKing8888 what a waste of a piece of 3 by 2 , you could use all day drumming it into him and it will eventually break and they only thing that will change. The 3 by 2 will have broken

@KevinKing8888 Perhaps a three by two could drum it into him

AN OPEN LETTER TO LEWIS HAMILTON Mr Hamilton, You have recently spoken about Britain’s past and suggested that the country should consider returning land in Africa as some form of historical reckoning. Before making such sweeping statements, it might be worth revisiting the full history — not just the fashionable fragments that circulate on social media. Slavery was not invented by Britain. It existed for millennia across the ancient world — in empires from Rome to the Middle East and Africa. By the time Britain emerged as a maritime power, slave trading networks already stretched across continents. The Atlantic trade itself involved multiple participants. African rulers and traders captured and sold prisoners to European merchants on the coast. It was an ugly system, but it was also an international one. What is often omitted from modern lectures about history is that Britain became the first major power to turn against the trade. Parliament passed the 1807 Act abolishing the slave trade, and the Royal Navy then spent decades enforcing that decision. The West Africa Squadron patrolled thousands of miles of coastline. Sailors died from disease and from gunfire while intercepting slave ships. In doing so they liberated tens of thousands of people who would otherwise have been carried into bondage. Many of those liberated Africans were settled in Sierra Leone. The capital was named Freetown for a reason. There are also chapters rarely mentioned today. When Napoleon restored slavery in French territories after it had been abolished, it was British power that ultimately helped end those systems again. There is also the matter of the enormous compensation loan taken by the British state when slavery was abolished across the empire — a debt British taxpayers continued servicing for generations. None of this erases the suffering of those enslaved. But it does mean the story is far more complex than the simple narrative often presented today. So before condemning Britain wholesale, perhaps a moment might be taken to acknowledge the sailors who fought the slave traders and the role Britain played in shutting down the Atlantic system. A fitting tribute would be support for a memorial to those men who served and died enforcing abolition. History deserves honesty — not slogans. Yours sincerely Stan Robinson Voice of Wales @VoWalesWren @alanlester #SouthAfricaSquadron #RoyalNavy #VoiceOfWales

Dear Prime Minister & Home Secretary, I hope this letter finds you well, fully caffeinated, and in possession of a calculator. I’m writing with what I believe is a modest, fiscally responsible proposal. I understand the Government is offering up to £40,000 to certain individuals to voluntarily leave the United Kingdom. First of all — bold strategy. Nothing says “strong borders” quite like a cashback scheme. Now, I regret to inform you that I am, in fact, a fully tax-paying, law-abiding British citizen. I know — awkward. I appreciate this may disqualify me from the premium exit package, but I’m willing to negotiate. I would like to formally apply for £35,000 to leave. You see, unlike some applicants, I haven’t broken any laws to get here. I didn’t arrive by dinghy. I didn’t require processing, housing, or legal appeals. I’ve actually been funding the whole operation through PAYE for years — which I believe makes me a loyal shareholder in this enterprise. Given that you’re prepared to offer £40,000 for someone to depart voluntarily after entering illegally, I feel £35,000 for someone who’s been here legally all along represents excellent value for money. Think of it as a “Buy British, Get One Gone” discount. For £35,000 I will:    •   Leave quietly.    •   Not require a press conference.    •   Not demand a diversity officer to wave me off.    •   Even carry my own suitcase to the airport. I may also tweet a polite thank-you note on departure, praising the efficiency of the scheme. Frankly, it feels like I’ve misunderstood how incentives work in modern Britain. All these years I thought obeying the law, paying taxes, and contributing to society were the winning strategy. Turns out the real pro-move is to arrive unlawfully and wait for a loyalty bonus. Who knew? While British families are juggling rent, energy bills, and the weekly food shop like contestants on a dystopian game show, it’s reassuring to know the Treasury has located a spare £40,000 per head for voluntary goodbyes. May I ask — is there a points card? Ten years of National Insurance contributions and I get a free exit bonus? If so, I believe I’m overdue. In the spirit of fairness and fiscal responsibility, I am not even asking for the full £40,000. I’m trimming £5,000 off to help balance the books. That’s the kind of responsible budgeting I was raised on. If successful, I promise to:    •   Leave via a scheduled flight (economy is fine).    •   Not stage a protest on the runway.    •   And refrain from re-entering on a small boat to see if I qualify twice. All I ask is equal treatment. If departure is now a funded career pathway, I would very much like to submit my CV. Yours in hopeful relocation, A slightly confused taxpayer

@PaulJSweeney Until we get rid of the SNP , Glasgow and the west coast will be starved of Money,

You can currently get a train from central Glasgow to Manchester Airport, but not Glasgow Airport. With over 8 million people using the airport in 2024 alone, this lack of accessibility cannot continue. Recent increased prices for airport drop off and restricted bus links mean the airport is becoming unfeasible for many. @GARL_2_0 are calling for the revival of the Glasgow Airport Rail Link.
