@admiraluk I started the year with motor and travel insurance with you. Ending it with neither after bizarre motor renewal quote and you declining to extend travel cover by a whole 3 (three) days. Up to you of course but a real PITA to move it all elsewhere

@Channel4News @MinnieStephC4 Amazingly embarrassing report on Artemis tonight. You’re making yourselves look ridiculous

[Kieran Daly @Uattitude]

Was that really @JustinOnWeb referring to NPR radio as “left wing” on @BBCr4today this morning as a simple fact, in passing, without further explanation?

@Rotorfocus Looking forward to another Whirlwind pic in AvWeek

@rdaly1 Worst words you can hear in London - Welcome to Terminal Five, I'm pleased to say we're ahead of schedule....

@BlickyIan Joined aged 18 as Officer Cadet / pilot Feb 1979. £117pm net after all deductions including accomm & food. Pure beer money. Thatcher elected in May and I got the biggest pay-rise of my life without changing jobs.

@whiskyintel @airwaysmagazine That's not correct. I was passenger number 853. We were in casual clothes, generally wearing runners, but there were elderly passengers as required by regulation. Here's my account at the time https://t.co/ebCNTX3clV

@RAeSTimR That is sad. For me it was the definitive account of RAF fast jet life in the cold war, telling it as it was without embellishment. Later he wrote a superb article for Pilot magazine on his final flight of an F-4 to a British boneyard. Pre-internet but would love to see it again

@tim_cook Ugghh! What on earth were you thinking?

[The Army Air Corps @ArmyAirCorps]

Mourning the loss of the marvellous Mike Savage - larger than life, big hearted, wildly politically incorrect and fabulously indiscreet. Still owes HIs Majesty two DH Vampires following ejections in questionable circumstances by his own account. A glorious innings...

[Tim Robinson @RAeSTimR]

Very sad to learn that aerospace PR guru Mike Savage FRAeS passed away this weekend. An absolute legend in aviation media circles & a raconteur par excellence. Check out this interview from 2018 with his reminiscences from 60 years in aviation #avgeek https://t.co/AfYE4F1Xx5

@kennardmatt @declassifiedUK Obviously business class not first class - i.e. like any senior manager in any reasonable sized company. And he seems to have remarkably cheap accommodation.

@genmon Wonderful, at last! Of course I will miss scrolling through 900+ articles on Sounds on my phone before every long drive, but times change...

@DavidLearmount @DanHillHistory Given the standards of guiding at Pompei...who knows???!!!

@GarethJennings3 Photographer @lloydhphoto Great work!

@jonostrower Not sure, but I can tell you that I took my friends to LHR T2 on Saturday morning to be there for 04:30 for an 07:30 departure to Munich. Seemed nuts, but in fact they just got through the system in time to board immediately. Sheesh...
