Are you great as part of a team and passionate about teaching people to fly? The lovely team at SEMET are recruiting instructors. This is such a progressive school and community and it’s the place that I chose for my son to learn to fly… new instructors welcome 💚🤎💙✈️

For it’s the -18T and also front and rear cockpits of the TR Spitfire. What do we think? Both pretty straightforward, ready to jump in and go? Or bamboozling?

Some rather scary pics from Pima… B-36 Peacemaker, A5 Vigilante, B-47 Stratojet, B-58 Hustler. All nuclear-capable. Extraordinary machines from an extraordinary time. What’s your scariest aircraft?

I’m not in my role yet, but I do know what I want to see in our workforce of tomorrow: you!

After a shocking winter of weather, a challenging year of aircraft serviceability (new engine took ages) I actually managed the double-whammy of a day YAK flying, AND a day with my dad who is temporarily without medical. Mission accomplished which included an air test on the -52,…

This event could have been a disaster… but thankfully wasn’t. However, the “where’s my crew bag?” force is very strong with these folk. Never get between a crew member and their bag 🤣

Arguably the most beautiful aircraft in production today, the stunning Airbus .
As dawn broke over Heathrow Airport yesterday, there were the usual British Airways 1000 variant arriving home after their long overnight flights...
