My 90,000 shots of the sun: Andrew McCarthyโ€™s best photograph โ€˜I took all the images with a precisely tuned telescope then joined them up. Use the wrong type of telescope and youโ€™ll blind yourself and burn your house downโ€™

An incredible image of the sun

I think I can safely say that 5 titles in a row will not happen this season, blues. Hardly bad times for any of us that remember anything but the past few years and guess what?? Another game on Wednesday so get the moaning out of your system then get behind your team again! ๐Ÿ™‚ #mcfc #mancty #CTID

Hawker Typhoon, WW2 fighter-bomber, on display in the sunshine at RAF Coningsby, the home of the RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Normally displayed in the RAF Museum, it was loaned to Canada for a time, as Canadian Squadrons had played a part in the Normandy invasion in 1944. It was displayed at the Canada Air & Space Museum in 2014 in the markings of 440 Sqn, RCAF. The engine cowlings are removed to show the Napier Sabre 24 cylinder sleeve-valve engine. MN235 was never issued to the RAF and was sent to the USA for testing.

Hawker Typhoon Ib. This fighter bomber type played a big part in the Normandy campaign of 1944. This one never saw action; she was shipped to the USA for testing, then stored. Acquired by the RAF Museum, she is seen here at RAF Coningsby, the home of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

A couple of months agoโ€ฆ For those that know KORD, this is the end of a very (not unusual) extended taxi, waiting for our stand. A great photo taken by the ground staff. 787-10 is my personal favourite of the three variants. #AvGeek #AvGeeks #dreamliner #Chicago #B787

Here's What Your Pilot's Thinking When They're Landing A Plane Sideways In A Storm Key insight for everyone hooked to the livestream of planes landing at Heathrow Airport.

Itโ€™ a few years ago now, but I loved flying the 747. Butโ€ฆ If I had to choose I โ€™d take the 787, possibly because my first command was on it. This could be controversial! ๐Ÿ˜ฌ #avgeek #avgeeks #aviation #744experience #boeing #qots #b747 #dreamliner
