I thought it was excellent throughout, Shuttleworth had put a lot of effort into the organisation and it all worked well. The layout of the zones a...

his claimed 180000 followers probably include a majority who looked just once and thought it was poor and never watched again . I'm probably amongst that number and I doubt I've watched him more than three times hoping to see an improvement over previous visits - which there wasn't

As airshows are vastly curtailed this year (not withstanding my trip to Old Warden last evening I've discussed a change of subject for the September competition so that there will be far more scope for entries both recent and from the distant past. As British Airways announced the retirement of thei...

I''ve had a few looks and TBH I thought it pretty dire. I've seen far better video work on here in the Aviation in motion section - have a look and you will see what I mean. I won't name names so you have to look but you will be pleasantly surprised by the efforts they make and also there's a guy on...

all edited (in between preparing ingredients for a paella later - I know how to multi-task when it matters!) so for the benefit of Mike and all here are a selection and there are lots more in my flickr album ( https://www.flickr.com/photos/125470545@N07/albums/72157715150024163 ) says it all really....

Most gliding clubs are very friendly and will try and fit you in. It's a wonderful experience. I did do some gliding in the dim and distant past, firstly at D...

made my evening seeing them

very nice memories Neil thanks for sharing them. That must have been an exciting time to work in our aviation industry.
