@scottiebateman And it is scotty proof

The 350th day. A quiet milestone on the calendar, but at 40,000 feet it feels anything but ordinary. There’s something fitting about meeting the Airbus A350 on the 350th day of the year. A machine built for long horizons and quiet confidence, revealing its character only when you spend time with it. Smooth where others are busy. Thoughtful where others are loud. It doesn’t shout about capability; it simply delivers it, mile after mile. A few facts that still make me pause: • Over 70% of the airframe is made from advanced materials, including carbon fibre composites, giving it remarkable strength with significantly less weight. • Cabin altitude sits at around 6,000 feet, meaning less fatigue, better sleep, and a noticeably calmer arrival after long-haul sectors. • Its Rolls-Royce Trent XWB engines are among the most efficient large civil aero engines ever built, burning less fuel while producing less noise than almost anything in its class. • The A350 routinely crosses continents and oceans with a range of over 8,000 nautical miles, quietly shrinking the planet in the process. Day 350 feels like a reminder: progress doesn’t always arrive with fanfare. Sometimes it arrives as a sense of ease, a deeper trust in the machine, and the realisation, somewhere over the dark curve of the Earth… that you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.

@scottiebateman Great for the catch up buddy

It’s just taken me 10 1/2 hours to travel just over 400 miles back to the homeland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 … why did we travel on a Friday!! What a palaver as they’d say up here. Settled now… in a nice little cottage by the beach. Relax mode engaged. See you all in a few days. Bateman Out !!!

@scottiebateman @RAFConingsby @RAFBBMF Did you get it let oot

It’s been a moment. Back in RAF uniform today for the first time in 17-years. Joining the leadership team from 2 Flying Training School as we visit @RAFConingsby as part of a development away day. Looking forward to seeing @RAFBBMF and other parts of the unit. It does feel a bit weird after all this time though. Have you ever had that new boy at school feeling as an adult ? #military #volunteer #pilot #avgeek

@DaveLBywater @Cornhill_Mac @NHSTayside @macmillancancer Dave so sorry to hear this glad you managed to get some good days before And make sure you have a wee glass of the Amber

Dad very sadly died early this morning, with my darling daughter Rachel by his side. Heartfelt thanks to all who cared for Dad & Mum over these very difficult few months. Rest easy Dad. Slàinte 💔

@scottiebateman @DaveLBywater Bad company the day Bywater

Ok…a really unusual venture for me today into the world of Heli-medicine. To be clear…I did not get in it at any point. Hugely interesting and important for Scotland to have these assets supported by the community. Thanks for showing me around @DaveLBywater 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚁

@DaveLBywater I hope you were very polite when you spoke to him as always

@aandetraining Seemingly so!

Almost home, but road blocked, 2 🚑 caring for a patient, a somewhat unhelpful chap, very animated, feels the need to complain to me & suggests the 🚑 are blocking the road! I agreed, he was indeed correct, and politely suggested the crews maybe have other priorities……! 🙄🤷🏼‍♂️

Sorry I’ve been quiet this week, I’ve been in the wilds of #Scotland without much internet access. Lots of outdoors, lots of walking with Millie. I hope you’re managing to get outdoors this week and taking a few moments to slow down and enjoy life. #WePilots #Recharge #Wellbeing
