Prime example of why touch screens and non fixed panels are a terrible idea in aviation tiktok.com/@nypost/video/762…. Watch him having to constantly adjust it after having to fiddle to get the stylus out.

Well got around to trying ‘The Night Manager’ series. Unsubtle, obvious, and simple. Everything Le’Carre is not. Do yourself a favour and watch Alec Guinness in Tinker Tailor & Smileys People. Enjoy the master as he truly was.
It’s only just occurred to me but….when Lt Shaffer tries to creep up on the radio operator, gets spotted and the operator sounds the alarm..he’s wearing a German Officers’ uniform, why did the chap sound the alarm instead of just asking what he was doing?

And, at long last, here it is: the RAF’s new Boeing Wedgetail AEW Mk1 - introduced in style by the red Hawks of the RAFAT #RIAT25
Has the entirety of Mil twitter completely forgotten the Tornado IDS didn’t have any AAR until it was scabbed on for GW1. Remind me what its role was at this point again?
@bbctms Sat with a glass of white by Houghton Mill listening to the Test finale….for some reason I’m not relaxed….

So filled out a form which required a metric f&@k tonne of information. I made a mistake on one date; so the application was rejected. If the form recipient already has access to that information why in god’s name did I need to supply it? 🤦🏻♂️

Today, RAF personnel came together to commemorate members of 21 Base Defence Sector (21 BDS), a little-known British radar unit that landed on Omaha beach and lost several personnel.

Surely this can’t be true…it’s literally impossible to operate a mixed F-35 fleet, because of reasons (NB: these reasons may not universally apply).
AT A GLANCE: Singapore is expanding its F-35 fleet to 20, a move that Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen says will put the country’s air force in the “premier league” cna.asia/3USwZJP
