I don’t know everything about anything, nor anything about many things, but I do know you have to lay it down to gain it all.

@NaturalNav can this be true? Is the aircraft in this photograph not flying West to East?

In April 1985, an extraordinary event took place over the Irish Sea, captured by Adrian Meredith in what would become the only photo of Concorde flying at supersonic speed. Adrian, who was flying a Royal Air Force (RAF) Tornado jet, had the opportunity to participate in a planned rendezvous with the legendary Concorde.

The Tornado, a versatile and powerful combat aircraft developed and used by the RAF, was primarily designed for air defense, ground attack, and reconnaissance missions. While it could match Concorde's cruising speed, its fuel consumption rate was significantly higher, allowing it to sustain that speed only for a matter of minutes.

Despite the Tornado's capabilities, capturing the iconic photograph posed a unique challenge. To maximize its speed and keep up with the Concorde, the Tornado was stripped of all non-essential equipment. The crew made every effort to maintain the pace, racing to catch up with the Concorde as it soared through the skies. However, due to the Tornado's limited endurance at high speeds, the crew had to make the difficult decision to break off the rendezvous after just four minutes. Meanwhile, the Concorde, an engineering marvel of its time, continued its journey, gracefully cruising towards its destination at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).

Despite the Tornado's formidable capabilities as a combat aircraft, it could only briefly keep pace with the Concorde's supersonic flight. The juxtaposition of these two aircraft highlights the distinct roles they played in aviation history—the Concorde as a pinnacle of supersonic passenger travel and the Tornado as a versatile military workhorse.

Together, the Tornado and the Concorde symbolize the remarkable advancements in aviation technology during the late 20th century. Their fleeting rendezvous over the Irish Sea and the remarkable photograph captured during that encounter stand as a testament to the ingenuity, dedication, and pursuit of excellence that define the aviation industry.

@HMRCcustomers as an Executor I have received an HMRC letter addressed to the deceased concerning a ‘Rejected cheque payment’. As the estate has not made a cheque payment to HMRC and there is no account number on the letter I have no idea what it is concerning. Can you help?

@easyJet On 22 Aug 8 passengers boarded your plane only to find no physical seats on the plane.

Raises serious questions about the quality of your systems. What else don’t you know?

Should we worry about our safety and security?

@brianmoore666 We can all understand the RD might have wanted to protect F1 from the ‘procession to the line’ criticism. But procession to the line in Abu Dhabi was exasperated because one driver made two errors (quali and start). RD subsequently gave race to that driver.

@kiwicom247 stop blocking customers logging into their accounts?
Attempting to log in produces this message and then you don’t send the email with link.
This is disingenuous and prevents customers sending you messages.

@AppleSupport It’s really time Apple Maps included UK Motorway Junction Numbers.

Customer service from @PortsmouthWater in a different league. Courteous, efficient, transparent.
No reason to give glowing review except such a service is nearing extinction - at least in utility companies and many corporates.
