Please no more best of the decade lists! So here’s a thought. If the year 1BC was immediately followed by 1AD then there was no year 0, 1AD was year 1. So the this millennium started in 2001 & this decade ends in 2020. I blame computers & Y2K! Just putting it out there.

Thanks to all the #AvGeeks who attended the #RAFLuton open day today, ticket sales managed to raise over £32.07 for local charities! Station CO Gp Capt Harry Stashe sends his apologies for security mistaking the AvGeeks as protestors when they first arrived at the gate.

Back in 1984 #RAFLuton Special Army Soldiers had The Plummeting Devils free fall display team, unfortunately the team wasn't a great success and most spectators went to queue for food while the team displayed their amazing ability to fall to earth
