@SamWise24 I suspect you have little understanding of the operational and safety considerations of managing the inbounds, dealing with exceptional events and keep all the enthusiasts happy. The ATC team are also enthusiasts and will be doing their absolute best. Cut them some slack

It is stressful enough being a newly diagnosed cancer patient without the added burden of trying to cancel a booking with @British_Airways Nine email exchanges, being asked to share the most personal of diagnosis details and told to call a number which cuts off. Appalling service

@embassytoo @airtattoo A VERY heavy Phantom

At my favourite air show ………@airtattoo

@RIATairtraffic I think it’s final, but what would I know? ;-)

German A400 on finals.

Tomorrow brings our refresher training brief, and the CAA return to sign our licences off with the Fairford Tower endorsement. Busy day tomorrow setting up! #riat22 #avgeek

@EAA Can’t wait!

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force, Dean Cutshall will be bringing an extremely rare F-100 to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2022 this July. Learn more: bit.ly/3sCUBTX

Incredibly saddened to hear of the loss of Col Oksanchenko. He'll be sorely missed.

@grantshapps I am very sorry for your loss of Mr Crumble. Our golden retriever is 14 and has seen us through the worst and the best of times. I am dreading the day we have to say goodbye. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Goodbye to our wonderful family dog Mr Crumble who brightened our lives every day for the past 15.5 years. 1st August 2006 - 27th January 2022.

Hoping to be #ambushedbycake

@pbshakey Well done Shakey

So this happened today… yes, I know I am a very lucky boy. Guess I’m going to need to find a new ambition. 😁

@ILRevell @FlightPolish My very favourite aeroplane and based at the airfield where I grew up.

Hope Pulkownik Mencel would approve! ⁦@FlightPolish⁩

@goodwoodats Not me but I wouldn’t go ‘drone spotting’ near the Trudle or Racecourse this week ;-)

Aerodrome Conditions Group runway 14 open. Drone overhead Trundle. Opening hours Wed-Sun 1000-1600. No out of hours movements.

All UAS accidents and serious incidents are required to be reported to the AAIB, regardless of weight or whether they are being used for commercial operations. If in doubt report it. gov.uk/government/pub… #UnmannedAircraft #Drones #UAS

Excited to be bringing TIS-B and 978MHz UAT ADS-B back to the UK! linkedin.com/posts/%C2%B5av…

On #WokkaWednesday we share some images by our @RafPhotog team from Exercise KUKRI DAWN taking place this week at RAF Woodvale. Working alongside @BritishArmy colleagues from Catterick Garrison helps to hone the skills of the student Chinook crews ready for the front line.

@Airspace4All Shame that the work has not been completed to turn this trial into operational procedures and equipment specification for deployment at any FISO unit that wants to deploy the capability. Hope that we can all benefit from this development well inside the next 12 months.

@BlickyIan Same day. Another young man @JackGoward inspired.

@BlickyIan Of course Ian, please pass on my kindest regards.

Everyone needs a hero - especially right now - people you can look up to people you admire - for me it was always my father - this is a picture of him In 1974 flying the British Harrier jump jet - taking off from a field in northern Germany- true grit
