The mildly elegant P-51 because a pot bellied, slab sided munter with the B/C. The D added weird to that. Unlimited racers made real improvements though. A wild paint job goes some way, a Griffon even more. But Precious Metal takes the crown by adding a contraprop to all that. #Aviation #AvGeeks

February 8th. First mosquito kill of the year. Little bloodsucking bastard. Nice to get the opening shot in.

We recently remarked there's no such thing as a sure thing, but like our recent Concorde post, a photo of the achingly beautiful DH.88 Comet comes pretty close. Such as this one, from 1934.

I've been a bit preoccupied this weekend, so here's a delightful triplane to lift your spirits. Cactus Kitten, a Curtiss Cox Racer. A type which had the distinction of flying as a monoplane, a biplane and a triplane.

Spitfires won the Battle of Britain. Whilst they were in the minority, they had a notably higher kill ratio than the Hurricane. In such a close run fight, that would have made the difference, it could all have turned out like the Battle of France otherwise. #Aviation #AvGeeks.

Wife just had Irish whiskey for the first time. She compared it to the spirits you get on holiday all inclusives... Watered 🤷😬😂

Just majestic. A triple salchow followed by a camel spin then an upright double. That's an easy 9.5 in the eyes of the judges and I can't wait to see him compete in next year's Winter Olympics.

Journalist, screenwriter, film critic, photographer - and pioneer aviator. (And maybe, very briefly, a model.) The amazing Harriet Quimby, whose 150th anniversary was this year. #history #aviationhistory #HarrietQuimby

As if leaving me with another submarine that now can't sink, to go with all the ships that now don't float, the Ukrainians even hacked our surveillance cameras so we filmed their attack for them.
