Lucky old USA, they won’t have to see this god awful mess of a livery in their skies anymore.

A bit of A380 action from LGW in August. A6-EEW arriving at lunchtime from DXB.

Norse B787-9 with its no.1 engine cowling open, revealing the RR Trent 1000 within.
LGW Tuesday morning.

Enjoying the benefits of airline employment today with a trip to Kefalonina on a surprisingly empty A320 from LGW.
Hoping for a few days of Greek sunshine before our return on Sunday.

Bombardier Global 6000 N181MM looking rather handsome in the morning sun at LGW yesterday.
Operated by Solairus Aviation.

Is that a Sonic Screwdriver? Who needs change when they have a Sonic Screwdriver!?

A Serviceable One.

Thanks Jason, about time the Kfir showed up on SkyCards!

Does anyone else still think of Britannia when they see TUI?
B787 at LGW N.terminal in September.

You mean Northrop doesn’t keep them in stock?
You can’t just go on their website, choose the specs you want; leather seats, sunroof, metallic paint and have them delivered next week?
Amazing.

I cycled out to Shoreham Airport (ESH) last week, or Brighton City as I think we are now encouraged to call it.
A few highlights:-

A glamorous visitor from the world of motorsport this weekend at LGW.
This McLaren liveried Learjet 60XR seems to have been on the ground here for six days before departing for Manchester yesterday.

This Polish registered Bombardier Challenger, SP-CUD, popped into LGW last week. I think it looks pretty cool. #Avgeeks

Does Pete have a halo 😇 in this video?

So much British political commentary is just dumb. The commentators are so concerned that they must make their output accessible to everyone that their programmes sounds like patronising celebrity gossip to anyone with the slightest clue.

It would be very difficult for anyone to look better than that!

So if #Trump and #Epstein were close friends until they fell out over a property deal in 2004, and the Birthday Book was put together in 2003, and the naked girl sketch with Trump’s signature is a fake-
Where is the real Trump entry for his friend Jeffrey’s special birthday book?

Another vote for KLM here.

The MP for the constituency where the unfortunate Miss Rayner bought her flat!

Thanks, I don’t think we get chickadees around these parts (UK) - great name.

One is a Nuthatch isn’t it? But what is the other?

Thanks Isaac, fingers crossed for 2026.

Is the Unlimited Class cancelled this year?

You think Trump can read that quick?

🤯

How the heck is this “intolerant”?

Intolerance of the truth is delusion.

Great picture of a beautiful aeroplane with the worst livery ever devised. 🤢

Is the Extra EA-400 the ugliest modern aeroplane?

If not what is?
