New Year, New Challenge…

Initial progress on the installation of the twin brushless motor / propeller thrust load measurement cell for my #solaruav system test rig.

All I need now is some sunshine…

@Telegraph Sadly still no audio at my end. However, have just had a visit from the world best women’s front row as compensation…

@BBCSteveR Everyone is missing the bigger picture… This is all about Trump pulling Russia away from North Korean and China, and weakening the strategic threat in the pacific. Also doing resources deals to support the re-industrialisation of the US.

@latikambourke I stand ready to do a #rawearth resources deal with the #usa for the contents of my backyard…

[Mark Vellacott FRAeS @VellacottMark]

@latikambourke Looks like #FreedomOfSpeech is a one way concept in the #WhiteHouse …

[Mark Vellacott FRAeS @VellacottMark]

@bbclaurak The last wartime leader who turned up at the White House without wearing a formal suit.

[Mark Vellacott FRAeS @VellacottMark]

@AllisonPearson @Nikkipage44 @marcorubio I guess #FreedomOfSpeech is a one way concept in the #USA …

@SlavaMalamud @Kasparov63 The last wartime leader who turned up to the Oval Office without a suit, shirt and tie…

@arenella1 @McFaul Ah, the ‘Tangerine Candidate’ theory…

I’d be very surprised if Harry ever made statements to choose to remain childless - given his and Megan’s pro-choice positions.

[Mark Vellacott FRAeS @VellacottMark]

Personally I count being a parent of five children as a blessing.

Given that the birth rate in developed countries is now below the replacement rate necessary to maintain population levels -
