BREAKING:
Three Russian MiG-31 fighters flew into Estonian airspace and headed toward the capital, Tallinn, according to Politico.
The jets circled for about 12 minutes before NATO scrambled Italian F-35s to repel them.

We’ve got aircraft arriving from all over the world at RAF Fairford today ahead of this weekend - it’s going to be a good one 🤩

So, this turns out to be not even yesterday’s news. From a reliable source, the complaint was made in Oct 22 and was upheld at a low-level in early 2023 (over a year ago). There is no review into historic terminology. So ask yourself what is really going on here, by who and why?

Do you know of a film of an aircraft older than 1905? I went looking for the oldest video of a flight and this is the best I could find. This is the Archdeacon-Voisin hydro-planeur test on the Seine.

These are the buttons from my wife's granddad's WW2 RAF uniform. When you put them together, they make a mini-compass, for use if you get shot down behind enemy lines (which he did). It's the most Q-Branch thing I've ever seen.

No evidence to suggest Navy pilot’s crash was because of a vaccine reaction.
A baseless story about the crash has gone viral.

A typical English 'pastoral scene' from 1943. Farming remained a high priority, despite huge areas of prime agricultural land being requisitioned for military use. This often led to an odd mix of uses! The Boeing B-17 shown here actually survived the war, being scrapped in 1946.
