So saddened to hear of the death of Anthony Head. We were very lucky to have had Tony in Howards’ Way series 1 - always a class act

Such a tragic loss of three exceptional people. All our thoughts are with CHF at this time that the Fleet Air Arm family is really hurting. 💔
It is with great sadness that we can confirm the deaths of Lieutenant Commander Chris Gayson and Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher of 846 Naval Air Squadron, and Petty Officer Owen Green of 845 Naval Air Squadron, who died in Devon during routine training activity on 3 June.

Sad to hear that @BOHAirport based #europeancargo has gone into administration.
They were there, along with so many others when we needed them most, during the pandemic, supplying the UK with essential PPE.
Thinking of the hardworking staff that are now looking for new jobs.

Wise and sensible long term decision by @pandocruises .
No doubt the vociferous trolls will be out in force for a day or so!

Principal partners P&O Cruises have issued a statement to confirm they will be continuing to sponsor Saints as normal this season. It reads: "P&O Cruises is deeply rooted in Southampton, and recognises both the challenges and the triumphs…"

#moonrise over #theneedles - thought with increasing cloud it might not happen, but it did!
A photo I've been wanting to achieve for many years.

This is a very honest reflection of what so many @SouthamptonFC supporters are feeling.
Come on #saintsfc, time to roll your sleeves up, take charge and steady the ship...

Good morning
Today for me everything that’s happened this week at Southampton FC is hitting home
The #SaintsFc fanbase and all associated should be buzzing and on the way to Wembley for a huge day - gutted 😞
Would be nice if the club actually said or did something and gave those amazing fans some hope ?
Where is the leadership?!?

They say that no person is bigger than the club they are at, but the reputational damage by the very people entrusted to run it, there are people at #saintsfc that have put the club at risk.
From a lifelong @SouthamptonFC supporter, the day could not be darker.
Shameful...

We have this evening been informed that the EFL’s League Arbitration Panel has upheld the sanctions imposed earlier this week.

As a lifelong @SouthamptonFC fan. I'm sad, angry, bewildered, in fact, words can't describe what thousands of us, including staff & players are feeling right now.
The reputational damage is even worse than the punishment.
A dark day...

If the #SaintsFc appeal isn’t successful - and it may be still - I would expect most fans after getting over the shock will be expecting the club to act strongly against any individual responsible because this is way to dark a day for it to be treated any other way - whoever it is

With a 60hr week approaching, along with that old fashioned "Sunday evening before school on Monday" feeling, listening to #beatsurrender with @stevepowerdj on @NationRadioUK makes it a pill easier to swallow!
Close our eyes, and let the memories come flooding back...

Croatia A220 at Split. That big initial swing is indicative of an engine failure on the left at high speed. Despite briefly going on the grass this appears to be a well handled aborted take off. Outcome… a few dents and zero injuries. Good job everyone.

After a 12hr shift at work, having this as the soundtrack to my evening in the garden with a "dark & stormy" in hand is just perfect... #beatsurrender

This week on Beat Surrender, revisit 1985 at 7pm for Billy Idol, Dead or Alive and the Dream Academy and then at 8pm back to 1979 for the Stranglers, Tubeway Army and the Tubes. Plus hits from Adam & the Ants, Blondie, the Clash and Blancmange.

Joys of modern technology - being able to listen to favourite radio shows, be it at 39000ft or in #florida.
Great to hear #beatsurrender with @stevepowerdj & #chilloutmasterclass with @garyparkerradio on the fabulous @NationRadioUK

Global economy at risk of recession if Iran war persists, warns IMF
In its World Economic Outlook, it said in a worst case scenario - where oil gas and food prices spike and remain high this year and next - global growth could fall below 2% in 2026 and inflation above 6% in 2027

The stars aligned for this, our @British_Airways flight from @Gatwick_Airport to @FlyTPA afforded us a grandstand view of @NASAArtemis @NASAKennedy as we descended after the Atlantic crossing.
Everyone onboard was buzzing that we saw #artemis II on launch day!

Dawn breaking over the Atlantic Ocean...
With most of my fellow passengers fast asleep, this serene view was a rather blissful private affair, aside from the @British_Airways @BoeingAirplanes #787dreamliner officers "up front" who were enjoying it too no doubt!
