Don't block @LHRTower or it may get, well, a bit awkward 😂

Captain Dave@DaveWallsworth

So let’s give Twitter one last go shall we! First thing I’ve done is block Elon and Donald! Now that’s done hopefully I won’t have to see any more of their rubbish! Shame, because I enjoyed Elon’s @SpaceX stuff but he’s become a Donald cheerleader 🙈 Now, back to some flying stuff! These were taken on a recent flight to Cape Town. Probably my last one for a while as the A350 is coming off the route for the winter schedule 😢

@saru_pruthi @Aishwar84724068 @lufthansa @HeathrowAirport @HeathrowNews @lufthansaNews @DelhiAirport @aviationdelhi We can track flights via a transponder, so we always know where they are. Quite important if we want to keep them separated! U can do the same for 20 quid a case. Millions of cases a day being carried, some will get lost. Fortunately that's not true 4 aircraft. Airtag or similar.

Travelled as a Business Class Passenger in @lufthansa ,only to find none of my bags were loaded in plane from Heathrow to Delhi, via Frankfurt. Been over 5 days since I've been coordinating with teams of 4 countries to retrieve my bag. Speaks volumes about the customer service :)

@Schafernaker It's a lost cause @Schafernaker I checked the METAR for 2 airports in Sardinia and sure enough..47 Degrees on 24/7. They wouldn't know a Stevenson Screen if it hit them on the head. OK maybe they would as I expect they are quite heavy 🤣🤣. #LHR

We have an explanation of colour thermal maps coming later today. Also…what people? Reporting what? Meteorologists use high quality Stevenson screens for reporting accurate air temperature. We don’t use “people”.

CazB@CazB52

@Schafernaker So why the explosion of colour. I’m sorry there’s something not quite correct about all these temperatures. People living in the countries are reporting lower temperatures than weather people.

Seemed appropriate Thomas...

Tomasz Schafernaker@Schafernaker

This absolutely not true. The temperature being reported is AIR temperature above ground (over 1 metre+), not the GROUND temperature. Ground temperature will have been even higher in many of those locations, well in excess of 50°.
