That would be 1972 at Weston-Super-Mare airshow, where a Tiger Moth and a Stampe collided (a very slow-motion accident). No fatalities, thankfully. Helluva first air display ...
Who remembers their first airshow or model exhibition?
Let us know which one you attended in the comments 👇

Great for cycling round (and Roman road spotting).

Another delivery from EVRI goes adrift. Why do sellers use these idiots? Do they get a bung or something?

Between now and the next election we could save about £7 Billion if we scrap support for heat pumps and Carbon Capture and Storage - neither of these are worth spending money on, both offer the illusion of being economic one day, and both enrich large energy companies - companies like Octopus for heat pumps and like Shell for carbon capture. Scrap them both and save a shed load of money, whether to be spent on bombs or action on poverty - who cares, ending the hideous financial waste of supporting heat pumps and carbon capture makes great sense. DESNZ got this wrong.

Great way to blast bacteria all over your hands, though. Paper towels for the win.

LNER to advertising agency: we need you to come up with an image that will put people off travel by train. Be inventive, but don't use anybody who might subsequently turn out to be, you know, dodgy..
Advertising agency to LNER: how about this?

He's being 'economical with the truth'. It was always about self-enrichment for the privileged few at the expense of the rest of us. Furthering Russia's agenda was just a fringe benefit for his #RussianAsset buddy Dom (whose Barney misadventure he excused).

This. The case for Brexit was always that it would give us the agility to innovate with technologies and opportunities we didn't even know about yet, while the EU stagnated... and in less than 10 years the proof is here.

BREAKING: A petition of 10,000 MAGA fans in rural Alabama have reportedly pledged to move to Greenland if Donald Trump annexes it, Americanize the island, and "make it feel more like Alabama.”

Anyone ever find out what happened to our £28,000,000,000 spent on Test & Trace which didn’t really work or the billions spent on PPE which had to be burnt because it was out of date or unsuitable? And what happened to the charming Michell Mone, still on her yacht?

A lot of talk about the 'mysterious' cold blob SE of Greenland = possible slow-down of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) - which is a massive ocean current that keeps western Europe warm in winter, an interesting recent article below👇 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.…

The muckpuffers are getting desperate. 😆
The EV has a "limited customer base" but it is limited and so so many I know are moving away from EV's and back to quality Petrol and Diesel because it works. Dealers just cant sell used EV's and make any money and servicing is a problem with EV's due to the complexity if there is a problem. Hybrids are not great and can even start on their own I believe if the battery level drops. Not good if being MOT tested at the time. I will never, never buy an EV because it does not even come close to suiting my needs and that covers cars, vans and motorcycles
