We recently had the pleasure of welcoming @lucyedwards and @tomscott to our HQ at Blackbushe Airport. Lucy who is blind, invited Tom to join her in a very special aviation challenge with us. The resulting video is a must watch! 😎✈️ow.ly/wRl150HOjf4 #aerobility #disabled

Thanks to the continued support of the flight sim community, the final total for all of the Simfest charity events in 2021 is a whopping £35010! This means in 3 years almost £112’000 has been raised for @LullabyTrust. Unbelievable. We’ll be back next year for more antics!

Remembering all those #Mosquito crew who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom in WW2. "They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them"

Replying to @AlexLuck9
There’s been some talk of a phased 20+20+20 Spanish Typhoon buy to fully replace the EF-18. Likely all still highly dependent on FCAS progress. But replacing 13 EAV-8Bs with F-35Bs seems unthinkable right now. thedrive.com/the-war-zone/37…

Please remember that the man who today opened the country up, against expert advice. Is the same man who warned the public not to shake hands AND on the same day, visited an infected hospital shaking patients hands without any protective gear. He proceeded to contract the virus.

And now for something completely different: our #ArmchairAirshow will also feature the more sedate Breitling Orbiter 3! The first balloon to circumnavigate the globe non-stop in 1999. Piloted by Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones. #HotAirBalloon #ballooning

On This Day in History: 8 May 1945 Britain & our Allies recognised Nazi Germany’s unconditional surrender after six years of war across Europe. Today, we remember the role that the RAF played in securing the freedom we have enjoyed for 75 years. #VEDay75 #ThisIsYourVictory
