Only the smartest nearly got the value of C. It requires top level IQ Can you solve?

@Tim_the_Pilot I did that once in my early years. On an HS21.

@Jordan9Brian Thanks, that’s great to know. There weren’t many shorthaul tags. Ankara, served as an extension of the Istanbul service was another that springs to mind.

What a difference a month can make…. Last month I operated my longest flight, 14:55hr from take-off to touchdown. Tonight I’ll do my shortest, potentially just 18 mins, LHR 09R to LGW 08R. The 777 fleet always keeps it interesting !

@Tim_the_Pilot It was LHR-CPH-MMX; I think, bearing in mind that it was some time ago, on Saturdays. Through CPH then on to MMX for a nightstop. Mid-morning out of MMX and back via CPH. One clear memory is that we took check-in staff from CPH to deal with the MMX departure.

@Jordan9Brian I never realised BA ever operated a tag to Malmo. Was that an extension of the Gatwick or the Heathrow to Copenhagen service ?

@BenGrahamUK Because we are too impatient to wait 239 years for it to be finished?

Lincoln Cathedral was built nearly 1,000 years ago, without modern machinery, engineering degrees, or materials. Today with every advantage imaginable, we rarely create anything that comes close. This isn’t a question of capability. It’s a question of standards. Why can’t we build like this anymore?

@JamesMelville Petition closed year with 2000 signatures.

“Thousands of Brits have backed a call to halve the national speed limit from 60mph to 30mph on single carriageway roads.” This is absolutely ridiculous for so many different reasons.

@MikeWel61647760 @naomirwolf ... and perspective.

@naomirwolf Naomi baffled by shadows 🤦‍♂️

I’ve seen these images — a dark line from sky to earth with a white contrail heading DOWN it as if on a guided track of some kind - and I don’t understand them either.

@MistyDoverIT @Tara4Lynn4 But they have seen the Xs, what more proof do they need?

@Tara4Lynn4 Nobody has ever seen a “chemtrail”. Just saying. 🤪

There were probably HUNDREDS of CHEMTRAILS today! I saw DOZENS of FAT LOW Xs over my home as well! Look at what they did to the sun again! THIS IS DEMONIC!

@OperHealAmerica My non-existant god is better than your non-existant god.

Muslims do not believe that Jesus is God. Jews will. It’s that simple. Don’t overcomplicate it.

@IoanaLogafatu @TakeThatClouds Almost certainly me. Probably. Possibly. Ish.

@Jordan9Brian @TakeThatClouds I was on the left, and saw someone waving 😁

CHEMTRAIL FORECAST: Sunshine and showers for most of UK today (probably more cloud than sun for most) but no long trails except in the far southeast. Similar tomorrow, again zero chemtrail action. Spraying resumes Tuesday morning in the west, spreading to most areas by sunset.

@TakeThatClouds @IoanaLogafatu Just a bit west of me. I stood in the garden and waved but unless Ioana had a window seat on the left...

@Jordan9Brian @IoanaLogafatu Heads up Brian!

@IoanaLogafatu @TakeThatClouds You are going over my house!

@TakeThatClouds My flight plan for Tuesday, if it helps. 👩‍✈️

@jayrayner1 @ftweekend "Is everything alright" "I'll let you know when I have eaten everything."

I have a second piece in today’s @ftweekend in which I rant about waiters asking intrusive questions. Because I am old, and have lived too much life for this malarkey. ft.com/content/354685…

@brianofarabia Not even that good.

Saturday Night Live UK - what a pile of steaming crap.

@IoanaLogafatu @CarlWeigel1 ... until you are blue in the face 🥶

@CarlWeigel1 Don't forget, clouds predate aircraft. There is supersaturated air up there wanting to condense. You may see a contrail growing, but even without an aircraft, you may have been witnessing natural cirrus clouds forming.

Yep, I'm no scientist, it's my understanding now due to increased air traffic given the correct humidity, temp, wind speed of the air, contrails/jet engine exhaust... AIC's can cool by blocking sunlight, warm at night by holding in the heat. Less sun Sucks

@IoanaLogafatu @MR_275_285 My mother's solution to this was "one cuts and the other chooses".

@MR_275_285 This particular trait goes back to sibling rivalry and my mother getting fed up with the "They have got more than me arguments." Things were weighed and counted. 😀

On today's bisect your baguette challenge, we have a perfect score. 🎉

@Piloto_Steve @JesusIsMyKingX That's a relief, I thought it was Jimmy Savile.

@JesusIsMyKingX Jimmy Paige?

Who do you see?

@TakeThatClouds I'll save you the bother... Left ADI toppled and fail flags on several flight and engine intruments. A straight in visual approach sounds like a good plan.

@Jordan9Brian I didn't notice that, I'll have to go back and have a closer look.

Aviation people: I was watching The Crown last night and a pilot (carrying the coffin of Edward VIII) said he was "passing through flight level 17 for 2,500", while descending. Is that a script error (as FL17 would mean 1,700ft) or is 17 accepted shorthand for FL170?

@DeborahClaireUK @BLackgold_5 The best attempt I heard was Eljubblejaner.

@BLackgold_5 Vickers Concord. This was in Paris just before the start of the invasion of Slovenia, 1964. 😉 After conquering them we renamed their capital Ljubljana so we could laugh at people trying to pronounce it.

Which aircraft?
