@clark_aviation Ah, VASIS!

@networkrail Good communication piece to help public understanding.

Not sure that 'a 21% reduction in temperature' is a good expression to use for an engineering organization.

Perhaps make the direction that the trains run on the animation the same as they do in Great Britain next time?

@clark_aviation Your next posting is Catalinas, they usually land gear up in Sullom Voe off Shetland.

@joethepigeon_ I was the safety advisor for a pair of airports in the Caribbean. One had to close because of a boa constrictor sunning itself where the parking positions were.

Over to you.

@IngrameThomas @Ryanair Point to point not connecting flight tickets?

@WDRailways Suggested edit for autocorrect: metre, not meter.

@douraku_joutou The runway end safety area does not meet international standards. No surprise at a damaged aircraft then.

@history99917180 You should have bought each team member one and a half ice creams. That would have been a good 999 shout.

@G1MDS @WhiskyWithMolly @Ryanair It is in the certification assumptions for the aeroplane evacuation demonstration.

@BadWxStations When I have time to dig into my files then I have a few good examples of bad practice. Very few airport planners understand WMO/ICAO requirements.

@bscholl @TSA My father went to LHR with RR Conway parts. Tried to buy a ticket on a BOAC flight 3 hours before departure. Sorry, flight full. Returns later, flight full. One hour to go, same answer. "Oh, that's a shame because I have the engine parts it needs to return from JFK." Jumpseat!

@thinkdefence Use them to shuttle staff from a car park in the middle of nowhere full of MoD procurement MG Chinese spy vehicles to various bases to get to destination?

@Hush_Kit From here today, there tomorrow to hear today deaf tomorrow?

[David Paul Gleave @PlaneCrashGuy]

@BabakTaghvaee1 Are you sure this was a veer-off from the runway rather than a landing beside?

[David Paul Gleave @PlaneCrashGuy]

@clark_aviation 1961 or early 1962

@MCCCANM Potential to cover the aeroplane with residual media gunk. Actively drops the fire cover status significantly. Blows doors open, ground collisions, ...

But marketing thinks it is a good idea.

@shoottheducks @almurray Ever since LED bulbs came in then it forced the change to the iron.

@Dunibear Canadian one in at MAN until tomorrow morning?
