Despite only being a thirty minute hop from Jersey to Gatwick was treated to excellent service and a lovely bite to eat from Claudia and her team on 29th March. Thank you @British_Airways #avgeek
Hi @British_Airways belated thanks to Captain Helen Berry and the entire crew for a superb flight BA243 to Mexico City on 16th Feb. ✈️👍
New car weekend. Sorry to disappoint EV doubters but she’s a 358 miles theoretical range and hasn’t caught fire yet. #EV
Hi @British_Airways many thanks to Captain Preston Wilson and his crew for a great flight home BA607 from Pisa Saturday night. Despite air traffic delays around Europe he managed to get a few short cuts to arrive almost on time.
RIP Air India flight AI171 crew and passengers together with those on the ground. 🥲. Had a wonderful 787-8 flight Mumbai to Delhi a few years ago. They deserve a full investigation, not speculation. #avgeek
Passed site of a ferocious tank battle in the days following the D Day landings in Normandy. Lest we forget.
So despite a medium range VW ID.3 58kwh I’ve driven via Portsmouth-Caen down to Brittany for very little running cost. High speed charging in France as little as 24p/kWh & there are chargers everywhere. I haven’t caught fire or felt the need to drive 800 miles non stop!
Is it just me or does anybody else thing the new Ring doorbell logo looks a bit like the @GreggsOfficial one? 🤣
Heading to Abu Dhabi on @British_Airways BA73 another on time departure and a wonderful crew. 🙏#avgeeks #avgeek

Absolute long shot I know but was at the Liverpool vs Accrington Stanley game yesterday and my son left his bag in the ground, it says his name across the front Leo Griffiths and had his IPad and Nintendo Switch in, if anyone by any chance found it could you please get in contact
A friend of mine works at an aviation museum near Gatwick whose collection includes a Hawker Harrier GR3. They are looking for a few spares including a MK9a seat. Can any #avgeek friends help? @JohnNicholRAF @scottiebateman ?
8 years ago today I had the pleasure of being presented with a motoring award by the legendary rally driver Paddy Hopkirk MBE. Sadly no longer with us. 😢#ev
Rented a Fiat 500e for a drive around the beautiful island of Lanzarote yesterday. #ev
