Trump’s demand that he takes possession of Greenland 🇬🇱 is a clear message to Putin’s Russia 🇷🇺. It says “I don’t care about Europe 🇪🇺 or NATO. I’ll just take the bit on my side of the Atlantic, you can do whatever you want with the rest”. #Greenland

I didn’t manage to find any thing with props at LGW today as requested by @jonnyjaero.bsky.social so here’s an unusual visitor from August last year!

Dawn and dusk at LGW today. Jet2 B737-800 G-DRTV and easyJet A320 G-EJCA.

The best way to stop despots and megalomaniacs fighting over oil is to end our dependence on it. Reducing climate risk is an added benefit.

Remember people, it’s not a war, it’s a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION, and that’s different.

It seems that the USA 🇺🇸 has begun its very own SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION in Venezuela 🇻🇪.

“The first naked female my sons ever saw was Greta Garbo swimming happily in our pool” This is one of many unforgettable lines from “The Moon is a Balloon” by David Niven. It’s the most entertaining book I’ve read in a long time.

There’ve been a couple of Jet2 A321s at LGW recently. Not part of the Jet2 expansion into LGW planned for 2026, but Santa 🎅🏾 flights to ENF, RVN and IVL in northern Finland 🇫🇮. @sospainter.bsky.social

Coolest aircraft beginning with F? (Share the name and a photo of your choice)

From earlier today, an ATR photobombs my A380 picture. Cheeky little Whipper-Snapper.

A trio of visiting B737s at LGW today. Two from Czech Republic and AirSeven from Denmark.

It was a lovely day for taking pictures at LGW yesterday, even the most prosaic subject could look magical in the autumn sunshine.

A somewhat puzzling visitor to LGW yesterday. This Nigerian registered Embraer ERJ-145 in the colours of LIAT 20 the Antiguan airline.

A mighty B777 leaving LGW in glorious sunshine this morning. This one G-VIIT heading to Port of Spain 🇹🇹 Trinidad and Tobago . 🇹🇹

Thought I might share some pictures from my father’s photo albums and slides. He joined the RAF as a fitter around 1948 under national service. These pictures are from about that time. I’ll try to share some pictures chronologically over the next week or two.

Not much going on but the usual flock of orange Airbuses at LGW today, but the sky was looking pretty.

I’m up in the hangar in Luton LTN today. Not a lot of engineering going on though. We’re here for a birthday celebration. #easyJet30

That RV-8 in my last post wasn’t the only high performance aeroplane on the apron at Shoreham yesterday. This Piper Fury M700 can cruise at 300+ ktas!

A busy afternoon at Brighton City (ESH) yesterday. This Van’s RV-8 was looking pretty cool in the bright November sunshine.

What time is the Rapture happening in the UK? I'd like to have a bath at some point and I don't want to be naked when I ascend to meet Jesus.

Goodwood Revival was slightly marred by wet weather this year, but was still, as ever, a tremendous event. Here are four of my favourites from the paddock.

A venerable, but very smart B737-300 from Lithuania at LGW 3rd October. Operated by private charter company KlasJet. Picture of the interior from their website.

Bombardier Global 6000 N181MM looking rather handsome in the morning sun at LGW yesterday. Operated by Solairus Aviation.

Does anyone else still think of Britannia when they see TUI? B787 at LGW N.terminal in September.

I cycled out to Shoreham Airport (ESH) last week, or Brighton City as I think we are now encouraged to call it. A few highlights:-

A glamorous visitor from the world of motorsport this weekend at LGW. This McLaren liveried Learjet 60XR seems to have been on the ground here for six days before departing for Manchester yesterday.

This Polish registered Bombardier Challenger, SP-CUD, popped into LGW last week. I think it looks pretty cool. #Avgeeks

So if #Trump and #Epstein were close friends until they fell out over a property deal in 2004, and the Birthday Book was put together in 2003, and the naked girl sketch with Trump’s signature is a fake- Where is the real Trump entry for his friend Jeffrey’s special birthday book?

Is the Extra EA-400 the ugliest modern aeroplane? If not what is?

Ahoy there SkyCardanistas Samaritan’s Purse DC-8 Super 72 airborne over Ohio #Skycards

In Erdoğan’s Türkiye, democracy is under siege. Opposition leaders, journalists and activists face arrests, intimidation and censorship. İmamoğlu, Demirtaş, Özdağ — jailed. Critical voices — silenced. This isn’t security. It’s fear disguised as governance. 1/2

This is the question all our American cousins should be asking themselves. What is it you love about America 🇺🇸? It’s current failed business man, turned reality TV star, and now President, or the (expletive deleted) Constitution? You can’t be loyal to both.

Gulfstream G600 owned by American Express at LGW last weekend.

If my eyes don’t deceive me, there is an Aerospatiale Concorde on #Skycards off the south coast of England on its way to JFK. Fantasy Category!

San Merino registered TBM 850 an unusual visitor to LGW on Tuesday.

Sky Cardaholics! F-35 Lightning II of the East Coast of England. Should be easy to catch because they are so slow! #Skycards
