200 for 2.

That might have been a mistake; India 52 without loss.

Depends on the threat. Are you talking about: A lone attack on an entrance queue Multiple attacks on entrance queue Car bomb in car park or car parks Paint protest on a particular aircraft Verbal attacks on specific aircrew nationalities Drone disruption during flying ????? And I’m sure there’s many...

Uk holiday is this coming Monday, 26th May. I expect the Suffolk bases to be flying as usual at the end of the week,which might include quick climb Friday as it’s the end of the month.

Interesting read ....... https://www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/05/trumps-f-15-basing-decision-adds-air-forces-training-troubles/405152/ It is an interesting read - as much as anything because it suggests Trump is trying to micromanage everything rather than leave it to the expert long term planners.

Might be worth a fiver on United being relegated next year.

Gary, going west, the Normandy beaches are really accessible and don’t need an organised tour. Each beach has its own museum and each museum has a different focus.
We had a fascinating week out there in 2019; pm me if you ever want details.

The FA Cup worked its magic again; great result and really good for football.

(Now can we get the results of the 115 charges against City?)

Anyone remamber RIAT 2003 with 535 aircraft.

RN.

A great show celebrating 100 years of flight. That number included many museum/historic aircraft in the special display.

My first was the '77 Tiger Meet with the RAN contingent. I have done every one since -including the (very wet) Bristol Air Festival which moved to GC with only a couple of months notice and the Boscombe ones but not the Bournemouth one where the Phantom navigator ejected on take off from the grass. ...

Very worrying situation. There seem to be lots of conflicts around the world that could easily become intertwined leading to a world war ?

Have you read “Never” by Ken Follett; starts with a minor skirmish somewhere sandy and ends with the world incineration button being pressed. Scary.

If the baby is due this weekend he probably doesn't need to practise.

Already born, a daughter. After birth took his private jet to Miami.

A newborn that can fly a plane, must have a dad who’s a half decent driver.

Love it; the ultimate in dazzle camouflage.

I tend to take a mix of cash, pre loaded cash card and Nationwide Clarity card, which doesn’t charge for overseas transactions.

Useful - thanks

Exactly!

I'm off to the USA in May - is it ok to thank DT on here for making the dollar plunge on the money markets?

The one in the first three looks very self satisfied.

The routing that is planned seems to put the whole task force at risk from a possible Houthi attack , will be 'interesting' to see how that is dealt with .Maybe Typhoon CAPS from Cyprus ?

Or some very costly diving sites off the coast of Yemen.
