Yup I have a Dutch friend who, after spending a few summers working at a hotel, was planning to move to Scotland so had set up a UK bank account. That’s now been closed. They aren’t impressed and now hope Scotland gains independence so that they can follow their dreams. But ya know, at least people ...

Confirmed cancelled today, less than 4 weeks after it was confirmed to be going ahead.

Exactly, that is still very vague (and published 2 minutes after my post, typical). It certainly shows that if they are implemented then they are at least considering it for specific circumstances only.

I was sitting around having a think earlier. I get G-CVIX's frustrations - I do. I came to the conclusion this afternoon, this is a balancing act and there are 5 things that they are trying to do. Whether I agree if some of these are correct or not is irrelevant. 1. Minimise further damage the econo...

Perhaps an unpopular opinion but I personally believe these proposed vaccine passports are too lax in an effort not to be seen to discriminate. To the point they won't work. The vaccination program has always been about reducing the effect of the virus on those that catch it (as it isn't 100% effect...

Why would you announce a date at which the conversion to a new type will start for a unit, when you disband that unit before that date?

Because it's common practice in the RAF for the Unit to disband then stand back up on a new type. They're assuming the RNLAF would do the same.

Yeah, 30 overall blood clots in 18 million doses is 1:600,000; it's the specific CVST rate that works out at c.1:850,000 (818,181 to be exact)

They've recorded 30 cases in people that have received the AZ jab, that does not mean the AZ jab has caused it. 22 CVST and 8 of other blood clot types. That said, there's been over 18,000,000 doses administered so far. The "normal" risk for experiencing a CVST is 5 in 1,000,000 per year or 1 in 200...

The entire presentation and planning of RAAF 100 has been superb and outs what the RAF did to shame. When I saw these announced by the Royal Australian Mint, I had to import a set - they’re superb quality brilliantly presented in a special RAAF 100 tin box in the shape of a hangar. Nice little inves...

There were two. ZG468 (a true WS-70 built by Westland from a kit supplied by Sikorsky) Sold to Royal Bahrain Air Force July 1996 and operated with the serial 961. G-RRTM (originally built by Sikorsky as a S-70A N3124B and converted into a WS-70 with RR engines by Westland) Was then converted into an...

Weren’t Westland as was going to build Blackhawks under license once upon a time for UKAF? What would be the chances of repeating that? Slim I guess since the take over by Augusta Two were produced as demonstrators under a strict license (designed to prevent the success of the Sea King taking sales...
