Remember when this was merely satire?

🤣

It’s almost like these things were invented and widely adopted just for the fun of it, instead of because there was an actual need. Let them drink the raw stuff if they want. They’re probably evolution sceptics too.

It’s #FighterFriday

Three for the price of one 🙂

Thanks! Follow along, I post regularly and have a new batch of photos to work through over the next few months 🙂

Many thanks, much appreciated!

#F/A-18 Hornet. When the rain finally cleared on the Sunday or #RIAT25, the warm light worked well.

Thank you, you're very kind! ☺️

The hot end of an #F-16

I didn't even know the moon was in my picture of the Frecce Tricolori until I reviewed it today. Sometimes you just get lucky.

It is a beautiful aircraft, to be sure 🤩

Looks like another 86 behind that one, too?

Beautiful, much nicer than Notre Dame

#RAF #RedArrows #SychroPass

I mean, how close is too close, anyway?

I swear on my mother's life that there is a #Typhoon in there somewhere, honest...!

Tinsley? You may have guessed, I’m guessing 🤷🏻‍♂️

They just want to shit stir because it validates the utter bollocks their columnists write. It’s just so blatant and shameless.

Nope, sauce gets too thick and gloopy, or disappears to nothing. And if it's in a packet you can bet it's ferociously salty by the time you cook it down too, because that's a cheap flavour cheat every food manufacturer uses. Follow the instructions. It's not hard and your meal will taste much nicer.

I was thinking more of older British types, but you're right, the guys have produced Phantoms, F-15s, Harriers and Hunters in the last couple of years, which are difficult to get now. And yes, Arr/Deps are the only way to see the statics in the air. I might just do Departures Monday next year 🤷🏻‍♂️

#SpitfireSunday

Rolls Royce-owned #Spitfire PRXIX was previously kept at #Filton airfield, Bristol where I worked for #Airbus, before it moved to Duxford. Friday afternoon practice displays were a weekly highlight. It still looks and sounds incredible!

Soon, the #RIAT flying display is going to be 3 A400Ms and 4 F-35s. That's all that anyone will have. When I consider what we had back in the day, it's already quite dull, while the prices are soaring higher than the display jets. At least the Royal Jordanian Falcons will relieve the monotony. /s

Roam on Mario Kart World feels a bit like this 😂

Goose was supposed to die in a fiery crash landing on the carrier flight deck, but USN wasn't having any of it. A hasty rewrite clearly failed to consider the dynamics of the alternative 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's #FighterFriday!

The most modern of modern, the #F-35A, looking sexy in the sunshine

Spanish Tifóns leaving RIAT for the first time, before French ATC sent them back for missing their transit slot!

To be fair, ‘my closest relative’ does not equal ‘most academics in the field…’

If you watch Part 3 of the recent BBC ‘Live Aid at 40’ documentary, it goes into the G8 things in quite a bit of detail. The links are made more substantial in that.

It’s not Band Aid. And it’s 25 years later. Yes, it involves Bono, clearly, and it’s disgraceful. But don’t conflate the two.

Again, this not Band Aid. Bono’s links to Band Aid are associated with campaigning for the eradication of third world debt. He and Geldof were successful in getting £116bn of historic debt and associated interest cancelled by the G8.

Clearly ONE has been completely mismanaged, but decades later.
