The most excellent A26 Invader owned by Marcin Kubrak flown by John Dodd at the @shuttleworthtru.bsky.social Military Airshow in the pouring rain. It was a very good display in the conditions, I 1st saw this in the early 90s at the CWHMuseum in Hamilton (pre fire) great to see it again.

So let me get this straight, the golfer from Mar-a-Largo is prepared to use his staff and the press as sacrificial decoys to save his own skin? Nice.

Economy teetering on the edge of oblivion, the income tax take cant cover the welfare bills, defence going down the shitter. Its ok everyone we'll give families cheaper tickets to theme parks (mostly owned by int'l companies that aren't known for paying tax) it beggars belief

They are the bad guys and I dont support them but top trolling by the Iranian Government. Trump (bad as well) has had some kind of dementia induced breakdown hasnt he. I'm surprised that no one has the ability/guts to move him aside for his own good. The American political system is broken

I am thankful for two mothers. One who birthed me then gave me up so I could have a better life. The other who chose me and made me the man I am today. I Love and I am grateful for both of them.

The death of HMS Hood in Chapter 4 of Pursuit by Ludovic Kennedy is some of the best naval history writing I have read. Tragic and stunning in equal measure.

I absolutely endorse this and repeat it on behalf of myself and every author who has worked long and hard at their craft. If you do this, it’s no different from taking my wallet and helping yourself to the contents.

@bsky.app after the latest update your app is unisable on iPad because of the way the photos keep appearing when the feed is scrolled, it keeps jumping past the text to show the image. Not helpful.

Reading The Donkeys by Alan Clark. The fact the author has to add a solicitors footnote on page1 of chapter 1 to clarify a point I suspect tells the reader all they need to know @alexchurchill.bsky.social

Following on from your excellent talk at WHWF @danellin.bsky.social @marybrazier.bsky.social the Lancaster has a number of flags in on it representing the nationality of the crew and the RAF ensign (not my photo obvs). Not all flags are bad but upside down Union Jacks are a giveaway

We had two Spitfires fly over us on our walk this evening, presumably on their way to RIAT. Mabel didn’t care, she just wanted a paddle
