Why has President Trump and the American security services been watching five fuel thieves for a considerable amount of time. Please tell me!

Mitch @mitch001a.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

So President Trump says that we’ve been watching these guys that attempted to cause a security incident at Fairford. If that’s the case, then why did it take a local residents WhatsApp group to raise the alarm that something was imminent. The U.K. police won’t say anything but the truth would help.

A 3 day trip from China to USA is not arriving late on day one and leaving early on day three. That’s just a day trip to me. You?

Crazy in the uk we have two different organisations at the same press conference. One led by Beth Rigby that can’t contain themselves and then GB News which has the opposite opinion and thinks Burnham was like a rabbit in headlights. We need an organisation in the middle 🙄

Argentine President Milei due to broadcast an emergency statement on the Falkland Islands on Thursday evening. Guess i might have to look at rescheduling my trip to BA as he’s obviously encouraged by another Presidents support which has made him feel brave. Tensions everywhere in the world right now

Local scumbag kids on E bikes who we are told have become feral because there is nothing to do, decide to destroy the local cricket square on the playing fields which is used by local kids who have a desire not to be feral. Modern day Britain.

Would love to know what the KC135 is doing circling London at 38,000ft tonight. Anyone got any ideas???

Can’t believe that this normally green and pleasant land looks so dull at the moment, the grey skies made it look even worse. Rochester looking towards Southend. Spot the WW2 submarine.

Just as a point of order on a serious subject. To GB News, a B737 is not a jumbo jet and to LBC, EasyJet do not operate the 737 well not since forever anyway.

Been trying to geo locate where this exactly is but have failed so far. It’s in the Balkans though #wingfriday returning to London from Istanbul and it looks so intricate from above.

Completely forgot about #wingfriday so this is one on arrival into Istanbul from Seoul a few weeks back at stupid o’clock in the morning.

Feels like shouting into an endless hole on here, but anyway.. I would love to know how some of my friends go in for every Arsenal ballot and have had a maximum of one success this season, but every non season ticket holding TikToker gets a 100% success rate. Please someone explain that to me👂

Poor weather means not too much flying is going on, but it does give the opportunity to get this beauty ready for the day the heavens decide it’s enough #aviation

Saw this absolute beauty at Halfpenny Green today. Not sure how many there are in the UK but it wouldn’t look out of place in somewhere like Anchorage. Stunning.

Qantas flight from Perth to Heathrow managed to turn around in just two hours last night before heading back on its 18 hour trip. I wonder if this was actually a record and spending 36/38 hours in the air sounds crazy.

Mitch @mitch001a.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Got onto a Tu134 yesterday, which was unexpected and thanks to a Ryanair flight delay. Really loved seeing these and the Tu154 back in the day at Heathrow.

Pictured is the cockpit of Malev Tu134 preserved at the airpark in Budapest. This example is HA-LBE and doesn’t look bad for a 56 year old

Good to see Edinburgh trams have today finally added touch in touch out with your card into their menu of payments. Guaranteed lowest fare, so much better when you know you’re getting the best deal.

Off to Wolverhampton for a VE Day commemoration. If you’re lucky enough to be in the area, I hope you enjoy watching this marvellous machine. P51 ready to go.

HS2, a literal scar on the beautiful countryside of England. I hope when it’s finished that it will have been worth it!

Cheeky attempt by the MP for Harlow earlier during the statement about the fire that affected Heathrow. He asked the transport secretary to consider allowing Stansted to be given some transatlantic routes so as in the future there would be less disruption if another airport went off line. Good one.

Mitch @mitch001a.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

You have to love Sky’s coverage of the problems at Heathrow today. Spend an age slagging off British Airways and their response to their customers(no information, no staff to talk to, not assisting with hotels etc etc) and then going to a break and the advert is for British Airways attentive crew!

I mean we have issues in the UK with inadequate politicians, but this press conference is off the scale.

Rachel Reeves about to approve a third runway for Heathrow, a second one for Gatwick and a doubling of capacity at Luton. Great news, plus I think they’ve got rid of the system where you can object to anything so if she says it’s happening, it’s happening!

Well camouflaged and to be honest, a forlorn looking Westland Wessex XR529 at the Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast.

American Airlines AA105 returning back to Heathrow after earlier issues and landing in Iceland. Don’t think the residents will be much impressed by the excuses though, way way after curfew!

Bedford Aerodrome literally full of cars now. I’m guessing they’re mainly electric ones.

Another day out and another day with very little air traffic, the radio was so quiet but it was so serene. Pepperpots near Doncaster.

Some of the last remaining pepper pot energy buildings near Doncaster U.K probably soon to be demolished so we hit net zero

Sad to see planes like this, they actually looked like huge Lego toys from a distance. Hopefully something good is happening to them, perhaps a new home beckons.

Would anyone have any ideas what’s happening to all these AJets at Istanbul (SAW). Sorry about the photo got slightly distracted by the military. Look like they should be in a desert somewhere!

Sometimes I look at an A380 and marvel at how they can actually get airborne and then I’ve seen the size of this structure and I don’t know how it floats!

A really grainy photo from Stansted today, Emirates 777 lifting off for Dubai (A6-EGQ) with the MyWay Airlines 777 (4L-MWB) being tugged in the background to take the Georgian football team Noah back to Yerevan then Tbilisi. I phone and anti-cyclonic gloom are not a good combo.

Just been talking about defunct airlines and then I remembered the short lived Highland Express service from Stansted to Newark via Prestwick with their fleet of just the one B747. Not sure they had much provision for delays or technical issues!
