@MrBoothY6 My preference would be that these conversations take place within Opal College, as other schools do not understand the amount of work, policy, timing, risk management, training and review underpinning these improvements.

@OPALOutdoorplay I see - are you asking me to take my tweet down?

We will soon be opening a Bluesky account. Hopefully the Xodus will continue

Anyone ever got an airplane for their OPAL Play? Would absolutely love a retired jet. #DareToDream
