It was so hot that my shoes practically melted to the floor whilst standing still long enough to take this picture!

Lucy to grab this a) before it was put away in the hangar, and b) before JetBlue kicked up a fuss and forced them to rename FrenchBee!

Stonking collection from all of you. I started writing “nods to” but it ended up being everyone haha.

Difficult choice this one, I flipped around with various ones, but Caper’s Vautour I kept coming back to. I mean, just look at it! “Hon hon” personified.

Over to you, Caper.
