A year ago today, we were preparing for the biggest Humanitarian aid operation in 70 years. Whilst time has allowed reflections on the Afghanistan legacy, 12 months feels like no time. Some pics from that first day.

I hate LinkedIn, but this is good…

One of the 🇺🇦 pilots has made a footage of the MiG-29 fighter jets combat operations. 🇺🇦 pilot Ivan dedicates this video to major Yevhen Lysenko, his fallen brother in arms, who heroically died in an aerial fight against the 🇷🇺 invaders on March 9.

Thanks to some old friends Air Show Network, got to visit Joint Base Andrews #2022airspaceexpo. A very cool airshow indeed and finally, the kids seemed interested in aircraft 😉. Thanks especially to F-35A Demonstration Team for the wave.

Can’t escape- out for a peaceful weekend in Virginia and look who shows up….

Spending 2 days looking at flames coming out of Martin Pert's backside while signing 5000 copies of this iconic image of his Afghanistan ejection which form the inside cover of "Eject! Eject!" out in May. Signed books will be available from your fabulous local @IndieBookshopUK

I’m at @londonwaterloo to observe genuinely extraordinary scenes tonight as 6,000 armed forces staff arrive for #Coronation rehearsal. Scenes not seen for a generation and EXACTLY reflect Helen Mckie’s 1948 famous ‘War & Peace’ paintings pair. Some kind of glorious coincidence?🤔

Mesmerising.

Beautiful scenes in Oxfordshire, in line with most of the country, it seems.
