Can you help? I need recommendations for guest speakers to talk to my group in the New Forest, we seat 80 to 95 people twice a month. Military history speakers, aviation, WW2, WW1, etc. If you've seen anyone to recommend please say, or if this sounds like you.

Latest for @AeroSociety - a year and ~16,000nm enroute for a new @flying4life aircraft. Kind invite to meet HRH at Northolt a year ago prompted the question to @RAeSTimR: how much unsung effort, time and mileage to get it into service? ✈️ 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇩🇰🇦🇺🇵🇬

Latest for @_AirlinerWorld, a year of historical digging incl @UkNatArchives. How Nicosia 1974 made PoWs of 5 aircraft, surviving bullets & years of diplomatic wrangling. Cypriot comments: ‘Very thorough and interesting’ + ‘historical exclusive’ will do nicely. 🇨🇾✈️🔥 #Cyprus

Recent mutual Captain’s chat with QF32 @RichardDeCrep for @BALPApilots well-traveled journal. For a technical art, flying needs a lot of humanity - hence heroes, trauma, passenger courtesy and his quest for resilience. portfolio.cpl.co.uk/The-Log/2025-w… #Pilotlife ✈️ 👨✈️ ☀️

Latest for @pilot_mag with top #Pilot YouTuber Stef Drury. Took a while crossing diaries but great to dive into The Aussie Way, extreme GA, pilgrimages and medicals ✈️ 🇦🇺 📸 Contains a significant ⚠️ handbrake turn 3/4 through… Blue skies Stef!

@AeroPaleo Humble, reluctant Legends. I presented at their centenary festival in Ireland on the legacy to the modern pilot, introduced to Tony Alcock MBE five mins before going on stage. The Vimy is almost the real McCoy but was taken apart and bits liberated in the field.
English
The stunning Vickers Vimy flown by Alcock and Brown, on the first successful crossing of the Atlantic by air, in 1919. One really has to get close, to understand just how fragile this machine seems, as well as how much fuel weight was supported by the structure. Brave men!

Breaking cover as one of @AirVehicles pilot testing cohort - first (and likely last) four-holer in the logbook and a good day to invert (Top Gun nod) basic flying principles... hybridairvehicles.com/news/overview/…

Props clear! New long read: ‘On the Shoulders of Giants’ in the well-traveled @BALPApilots journal on the rawest origins of a profession through the lens of pilot and machine a century ago. 🫡 🇬🇧 ✈️ 🧑✈️

@rooneyvision Good find. Prototype K-107 with original roller door and round windows - it sadly lasted only two months longer than Sir John. RIP both.

Do you fancy seeing Jack Alcock on film, flying a Pathé cameraman named Jones over London in 1919? Course you do. Here he is. What an absolute belter.
Read his story in The Big Hop! And if you liked it, care to leave a rating or comment on Amazon?

Of devils and details. New @_AirlinerWorld @key_aero tech long read on Concorde’s final fling 25yrs ago, inspired by visiting the site around own flights. Feedback: ‘A difficult, but superbly written article…the depth of analysis outstanding…’ 🫡 🇫🇷 🧑✈️

RIP Freddie Forsyth
Didn’t directly consider mortality writing this big biopic piece on The Shepherd @FlyPastMag and how it echoes his proverbial 🐈 nine lives, but nice to have done it against the odds. Blue skies Sir! 🫡 👻 ✈️ 📖

@RAeSTimR Good to chat - and the site of the first service crash causing the suspicion, a Dep 6.9.1912, was nearby…

Purple Corridor! Until this week the word ‘Northolt’ meant diplomatic airspace delay - now it means meeting old and new friends @flying4life at @RAFNortholt, a brand new aeroplane and HRH himself. 👑 ✈️ ☀️ 🇵🇬
MAF UK@flying4life
Our CEO Donovan Palmer greeted His Majesty at MAF’s 80th Anniversary Event that was held yesterday at @RAFNortholt! The King joined MAF guests, where he unveiled our newest Cessna 208 Caravan aircraft that will deliver to PNG. Thank you @RoyalFamily maf-uk.pulse.ly/o7ekh7kgei

@IndoPilot West to Clifden: most colourful little spot between sea and sky (Northern road via Fjordland) for Alcock & Brown memorial at Derrygimlagh and Dog’s Bay, Errisbeg. Wince at the ‘improvements fee’ at Knock Apt.

Ok Twitter, if you had to spend a weekend in Knock, Ireland, where would you stay and what would you do?

@IndoPilot @pilot_mag 🫡 Too kind, send an aviator to catch an aviator!

I need to go out and get a copy of @pilot_mag myself 🥲 Judging by the messages and book sales I’ve had from it, @robskievans must have written a dam good article following our chat 🙏🏻
Robin Evans@robskievans
Latest for @pilot_mag a long chat between #Pilots with Shangri-La Nomad/Daredevil Matt Dearden @IndoPilot on anxiety, a pilgrim’s progress through risks and rewards on camera and paper, machines little and large, plus his dream of the newest act on the display scene… 🏔️☀️🇵🇬
