Delighted to say that we struck GOLD at the International @BrewingAwards with Gadds' No11 Anytime Pale Ale in the Non & Low Alcohol category. Extremely chuffed.

Over Christmas @APPG_GA visited @Rochairport with the @ga_champion to hear about their plans for turning it into a world leading General Aviation Airfield. Great for Rochester, the region and General Aviation.

MARGATE update: Theresa May reportedly sanctioned a squadron of Special Boat Service to end a standoff between four stowaways and the crew of a cargo ship off Margate last. A convoy of unmarked vehicles was seen on Marine Drive, Margate, about 8:45pm last night. Vid Noel Connolly

Here's a new planning application to reopen a former military airfield, closed in 2006, for #GeneralAviation use, while creating 100 (many #STEM related) jobs. Comments on this newly validated application are welcome from anyone here idoxpa.north-norfolk.gov.uk/…

More awful news. RIP Mary Ellis. A legend of the Air Transport Auxiliary. Over 1000 aircraft; 76 different types and over 400 Spitfires alone. I hope you’re enjoying a well-earned sherry up there with Joy Lofthouse again. Blue skies Ma’am #LestWeForget

The #GeneralAviation all-party group welcomes the Government’s new National Planning Policy Framework, which specifically recognises the importance of small #airfields for the first time. But there’s still much more to do! Read our full response here: generalaviationappg.uk/all-p…

Read this @BBCNews article on our concerns about @DefenceHQ Minister seeminly going back on promises to look again at military aerodromes sell-offs. We want to see continued #aviation use at these sites where possible. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-4…

The #GeneralAviation all-party group is concerned at lack of commitment from @DefenceHQ Minister @Tobias_Ellwood on continued aviation use at military #aerodromes. In 100th year of @RoyalAirForce we want to see proactive support for our #aviation sector! generalaviationappg.uk/all-p…

A sneak peak of the new route due to be launched on Tuesday 10th of July! To commemorate the start of the Battle of Britain, visitors will now be able to fly the iconic Spitfire over the green fields of Kent rather than the USA! facebook.com/ManstonSpitfire…

A change of plan for the summer. I’m honoured to be flying with the Red Arrows again in the Royal Air Force’s centenary year. Mixed emotions at a difficult time for the Team. My thoughts are with Flt Lt Stark as he recovers from his injuries and with Jon Bayliss’ family & friends teapaw.org/rafredarrows/status/98…

Hope #ManstonAirport can re-open. Blackpool has had its own battles and things are now starting to get moving for us. Fingers crossed for @KIAMANSTON and @SaveManston
