One last time with feeling. My last fight of 2024 and I’m flying home for Christmas avoiding you know who…🎅🏼… although I travel for a living… it always feels a little special to get home on Christmas Eve. If you’re traveling this holiday or already at home celebrating,I wish you all a very merry Xmas

A slightly unexpected final trip before Christmas. A quick trip to #Vancouver for some last minute Xmas shopping. 🛍️ Was hoping for some snow to get me in the festive mood… but it’s bit wet and mild… more grinch than Whoville. Anyone else off for a last minute shop?

Last chance to order today for Christmas delivery from Amazon of tales the AvGeeks favourite military aircraft, Hercules. From Khartoum to Kabul the best stories always include a beer and a Hercules. A great last minute present for that AvGeek in your life.

Some stunning photos and just a whisper away from that big Boom. I’m really excited about the potential of this project and the way it will open new markets for supersonic travel in a way Concorde never could. 🙌🏻 What do you think, a winning formula or a pipe dream? #aviation #Boom #avgeek

So I did a thing today… For those that know me well, this is a big thing for me. Pooped my pants. But the views were absolutely stunning. Had the support of my buddy as we ripped up the beaches and landmarks of #RiodeJaneiro

I find it astonishing that this wreckage has been floating around potentially for over a year. Hopefully this will now give the family some closure. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

My fee is extortionate so I’ve no idea who they can do this for free. 😆 #worksforchicken

An old warrant officer once said to me, “The standards you walk past, are those you accept as your own”. In recent context, if you know of workplace abuse and don’t report it, you are as much part of the problem as those involved. Don’t walk past, don’t ignore it, we must never accept this.

It’s another day…so it must be another Denver. I’m on a bit of a run of visits to The Mile High City. A quiet one this time as I focus on developing a couple of projects for next year. Hopefully some nice views today too and no wind. What are you up to today online friends ?

This Bomber was converted into an anti-submarine warfare platform. Not the first ASW aircraft but it was one of the first to deploy an anti-submarine technology that is now commonplace. What was that tech ? #aviation #flying #WW2

A #SundayFunday Space Teaser… This is a good one and an answer that even surprised this AvGeek. What are your thoughts? #space #avgeek #aviationdaily #aviation

This is an easy teaser for a Saturday evening. The Sabre was the first of something… what was it ?

Cannot wait to get home tonight. It’s been a busy week with San Diego at the beginning and Denver at the end. Glad to be getting home before #stormbert hits Heathrow later on Saturday night. See ya in the morning London. 🙌🏻

I’ve tried to use this flowchart today with @drsharonbateman.bsky.social but she says there is one barrier missing…her. 😂😂 Oh well. Maybe next year. ✈️

Did you get it ? It’s the F-104 Starfighter. I’ve had sandwiches thicker than those wings. 😂😂
