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/20…

I had a chance to try out VRM Switzerland’s virtual reality simulator for the Airbus H125 in Cologne last week. Seriously impressive tech that could make a real difference in the quality and availability of helicopter training.

"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? buff.ly/3nprpfo

This video of my mate’s dog encapsulates what my flying instructors meant when they wrote ‘not a natural pilot’ on my debrief chits.

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/podcast/wes…. The public’s understanding is the military’s responsibility.

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 I joined the fully vaccinated crowd at @ArcherAviation'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.
