Mach 2.0 is covering 20 miles a minute - few aircraft have been able to achieve this perhaps in the future ⁦@boomsupersonic⁩ ⁦@bscholl⁩ we will be back in the supersonic game - the human race needs to keep pushing forward - life is dull at .82 Mach ! https://t.co/BaIJ7EZkfJ

And they did it!

Well done to @AspireCharity's Team Llama who made it across the English Channel in a very impressive 12 hours 59 seconds - a remarkable feat🌊

Hi @JohnNicholRAF
Next week I’m hoping to reach £100,000 raised for St Gemma’s Hospice in Leeds by trekking across the Pyrenees Mountain Range because they looked after my mum before she died. Can you help by sharing my fundraiser please?

24hrs on from the horrific knife attack in Southport, members of the community are laying more flowers by the minute. In memory of the three girls killed and in support of those injured. One message I spotted sums it up ⬇️

If you’re a Tornado fan, this book by @BlickyIan is a must!
I am fortunate enough to have a signed copy that sits proudly in the office.

[Roger Johnson @RogerJ_01]

Thank you for all the messages here after tonight’s @BBCNWT. I’d normally try to reply to them all, but there are so many. Thank you for your kindness. My thoughts are with all those families directly affected and the brave first responders in Southport today. So sad.

[Aspire @AspireCharity]
