In places heart warming, and in many others utterly depressing, @nytimes’s Trojan Horse Affair podcast from @BriHReed and @HamzaMSyed is a story that spans racism, moral panic, dogged investigation and even human factors. Truly eye opening. nytimes.com/interactive/2022…

"This constant rolling out of prepared lines and silence increases the perception that the Army takes young men and women and turns them into automatons."
It's a strong critique of Army communication - do you agree?

If you are at all concerned about how the public understand military, defence and security matters, listen to this with @MadeleineMoon - my neck is sore from nodding along. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…. The public’s understanding is the military’s responsibility.
I’m glad we have people like A in the profession. Really very glad indeed. apple.news/AfIifKYsYRKWDwSGx…

For the animal lovers among you, here’s my friend Juice, a USAF survival instructor veteran and Long Ass Section Hiker with his guide through @OlympicNational park. If you can spare a few minutes, his videos are great quick moments from the great outdoors. youtu.be/WYBF5RNjkps

So if you’re watching #TheGrandTour, the big red caddy that @MrJamesMay is driving was last owned by my next door neighbour and he loved that car!

So I joined the fully vaccinated crowd at @flyarcher's Maker unveiling last night. Being around other people again was... AMAZING.

From covering peace keeping missions and anti-poaching operations in Africa to utility and SAR operations in Europe and beyond, @verticalmag has allowed me to visit incredible places and work with amazing people to showcase the unique helicopter world. This is my 2021 showreel.

Well worth a read, and particularly thought provoking at the moment. Nice to hear some optimism towards the end though. Fingers crossed the industry picks up in ‘21.
