It’s the annual Retweet the Edgley Optica for no reason event you’ve all been waiting for!! This year’s impossible aim is 4K retweets. Let’s go!

It’s the annual retweet-the-Edgley-Optica-for-no-reason-challenge. It is impossible that this will be retweeted more than 600 times, unless the love of obscure aircraft is strong in you.

Ah yes, my chest freezer possesses the same streamlined qualities. Didn’t stop my Dad from stocking one though - a green metallic GL. Nice!

[Mike Simon @MikeDSimon]

[Mike Simon @MikeDSimon]

@ChrisFleet I’d have to add in Dan-Air, JMC Air, Aviaco, British Midland, Business Air, Airtours. Ah, happy days…
