Some slightly unfortunate (and fortunate) news - one of my co-owners in the YAK suffered an engine failure yesterday and, during the forced landing, the aircraft ended up on its back. Brilliantly, the pilot is ok, and it looks like a great job finding a field in difficult…

And more #aurora

Current view from our road #aurora

Although it won't be confirmed until after the event has reached Earth, there are signs tonight's Severe Geomagnetic Storm will be the strongest since 2005.

This will mean it's likely all of the UK (cloud permitting) should be able to see the the Aurora tonight if you look north

Newsflash, Citation pilot… you are the “tiny little aircraft” too (your wingspan is about one Airbus A320 sharklet longer than a 172)

Wow. This is quite an error chain. Extraordinary really. You’d not believe it if it was in a script

Some black and white shots from the afternoon dog walk

Are you great as part of a team and passionate about teaching people to fly? The lovely team at SEMET are recruiting instructors. This is such a progressive school and community and it’s the place that I chose for my son to learn to fly… new instructors welcome 💚🤎💙✈️

For #flightdeckmonday it’s the -18T and also front and rear cockpits of the TR Spitfire. What do we think? Both pretty straightforward, ready to jump in and go? Or bamboozling?

🥰💪🏻✈️

World pilots day / wing Friday

This was a huge amount of fun back in the summer of 2023 with Spitfires.com

#wingfriday #worldpilotsday #formationfriday #spitfire s #warbirdformation #formationflying #warbirds #avgeek #spitfire #warbirdpilots #goodwood #avgeek

It’s #WorldPilotsDay and #wingfriday all in one. So here’s a big shout out to all of those aviators and aviatrix, especially those of you daring to dream big and shooting for the stars. You’ve got this 💪🏻✈️

Black and white from our trip to Lee-on-Solent yesterday. More chat on this (and what I learned) later…

Epic pic!

Family adventure day with McGirl

I’m enjoying this thread for #flightdeckmonday

Some rather scary #wingfriday pics from Pima… B-36 Peacemaker, A5 Vigilante, B-47 Stratojet, B-58 Hustler. All nuclear-capable. Extraordinary machines from an extraordinary time. What’s your scariest aircraft?

Currently out in London for McGirl ‘s 26th-ish birthday. And the main news is… Scottish person eats greens

I’m heading to this, btw. It’s a lovely day. Very informal, including the ability to chat to some very friendly flying schools (if that’s your thing?)

I’m not in my role yet, but I do know what I want to see in our workforce of tomorrow: you!

I know that competition will be tough; I know that you probably think you’re not from the right background. But you are… so, now is the time to apply
