It’s probably not even worth this much nuance, but the Trump 2020 campaign is entirely predicated in “sleepy Joe” not being able to string a sentence together. And Trump sort of, completely of his own volition, torpedoed that: https://twitter.com/keejayov2/status/1296548895187763203?s=21 Trump real...

Surprised to see the KLM passenger 747, I thought they only had a couple of freighters left now.

It's a combi so there's some useful cargo space on the rear main deck (you can see the main deck cargo door in the picture just behind the wing).3 have been kept in service for this purpose.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has tested positive for Covid-19.

Karma strikes.

The care home situation has been one of horrible irony. Keeping people 'at home' is an understandable step to take during a pandemic, but when you're elderly and share your home with dozens of others, some of whom have had positive Covid tests, its just horrendous. Understandably, at the beginning ...

I love the ‘where does it stop, do we burn the city to the ground?’ Argument. To me it’s very simple. We do what we can to show that glorifying this part of our history is wrong. Removing a statue (that the people of Bristol have been trying to remove for years) is very different to burning a schoo...

When do the panel think we'll actually make any progress towards relaxing lockdown? by which I don't mean being able to meet your family outdoors at 2m distance, being able to travel to work as long as it's by private car, restaurants and pubs open for takeaway etc. Despite often negligible new cas...

This thread just reinforces my belief that there’s no place for politics on hobby forums. Take it to Twitter or Facebook.

Still,I suppose if Cov-19 hadn't happened people might now not be happy with the probable 100+ pages on the RIAT thread.

1630 today will be a crucial time for our PM. He's to appear before Senior MP's to discuss all things Covid 19, probably including his support for Dominic Cummings. With one Conservative resignation (thus far) and 35 Conservative MP's wanting Dominic to resign or be sacked, does this committee of M...

I've wondered about this for a while. Just what makes Dominic Cummings think he is untouchable, is there something he knows that the Conservatives don't ever want us finding out, because it really is starting to look that way. I was thinking exactly the same thing. He must have the British equivale...

Interesting. The total number of Coranavirus cases reported that we had in the UK by the end of 19-05-2020 was 248,818 including 2,412 new cases but by the end of 20-05-2020 the reported figure came down to 248,293, a reduction of 525 cases. Pretty sure there should have been at least over thousand...

Hi Tommy A good question, but a worrying admission that you have actually noted anything in the Daily Fail. I’m looking at the rest of your points but just to note that I try to skim the front pages of all the main papers each morning. Sadly, they are still very very widely circulated, and they inf...

Although retired, I still get all the NAHT guidance and yesterday's was interesting in 2 particulars. They emphasised that government guidance states "from the 1st of June" not "on the 1st of June" and also that school's have to prioritise and that the government guidance says the youngest children...

I suppose steam engines were "never a good thing" because it theatened jobs (stable hands, farriers, etc), working from home has been a key part of keeping economies and infrastructures going around the World over the last 2-3 months, I dread to think where the UK would be without this option. I th...

This is probably going to go down like a cup of cold sick but there are quite a few virologists out there (not ones paid by their governments) saying that like the other prevalent human coronaviruses eventually Covid-19 is going to have to spread all over the world (possibly becoming weaker as its ...

Skyliner...ADSB has a habit at times of showing spurious plots...an example is a few weeks ago when a Nigeria based DHL 737 was shown as approaching the UK from the Channel and also over Northern France at certain times spread over a few days when it was actually flying in Africa !

According to a Mail on Sunday reporter(yes I know) Boris's statement now playing was prerecorded and had all been done and dusted (including a 50 page document) and all decisions made with his Gang of Four prior to a Cabinet meeting earlier today to discuss the document.
