My latest model purchase is some buffer stops. A drunken, pointless purchase for my shelf layout but, tbh, they do look cool!

Just played a game of JetLag Hide & Seek with friends will award kudos (maybe a free pint if I'm feeling generous) to whoever can identify this station in London from the picture:

Why does my phone think this is a suitable notification when I'm in the middle of a flight?

As someone who had to deal with an outage caused by a fibre cable fault at work last week - I'm glad my work isn't as important as ATC!

For the many aviation nerds on here, the view over Gibraltars runway from the rock is outstanding. (It's a shame there is only 5 or 6 flights/day)
