A great couple of days on the hill with @Western_Beacons. Thanks to @HMCoastguard@UKSAR_StAthan, for the helicopter support on day 2. Some challenging conditions but handled professionally by the fantastic volunteer team; you can donate via JustGiving.
A great evening, it was an honour to be able to thank the selfless commitment of the @Western_Beacons , which is wholly funded by donations at: https://t.co/spmflb7dN9

Just finished the excellent Sagittarius Rising by Cecil Lewis, about his service with the RFC in #WW1, and later exploits in China. A fabulous read for anyone interested the formative years of military aviation. #bookreviews#BookRecommendation#NonFiction#history
Great to finally meet up with the @rafregiment Paramotor team, The Raptors, at @cosfordairshow. Looking forward to join them on their historic flight next month.
