This is brilliant news. Thanks to the hard work of @CliffordAgius and the team this brings the mobile simulator bang up to date, and of course they chose the best aircraft to simulate! I look forward to taking it for a spin and I’m sure all those who have the opportunity to do so…

Just completed one of the longest flights I’ve flown. Haneda Airport, Tokyo to @HeathrowAirport We were in the air for 14 hours 26 minutes in @Airbus A350-1000 G-XWBF Planned distance flown 7042 nautical miles plus we did a bit extra with a couple of holds on arrival. It was such…

Huge day for you and the family. I know Laura would be so proud of you all. I can’t wait to read it. 😄❤️

If you are ever fortunate enough to drive from Flagstaff to Phoenix do yourself a favour and go via route 89A through Sedona rather than bypassing it on i17. The windy descent is spectacular. You will find yourself saying ‘wow’ quite frequently as you turn around each hairpin…
Quite possibly the worst photo of Meteor Crater ever taken! It was just about visible using the camera as we flew past on our way from @PHXSkyHarbor to @HeathrowAirport last night in @Airbus #A350 G-XWBS Keeping with the space-based theme we also got a superb view of the…
And yet another bucket list item ticked off yesterday as I spent several hours at the Lowell Observatory @LowellObs in Flagstaff, Arizona where, among other things the (now dwarf) planet Pluto was discovered in 1930. Special thanks to Jon who introduced me to the incredible Clark…
As I was so close after visiting Meteor Crater I just had to go visit Winslow, Arizona and lurk around on the corner! Now I can’t get the song out of my head! 😂🎵🎼
Bucket list item done! I’ve wanted to visit Meteor Crater for as long as I can remember. What a place! If you are ever nearby take an hour or two to visit. It’s amazing! @MeteorCraterAZ
The Grand Canyon. We had an amazing view on our way to @PHXSkyHarbor Phoenix yesterday. What an amazing place!
Another timelapse flying over Greenland at 38000 feet on the way to @PHXSkyHarbor I never get bored of this view!
Some lovely photos of the A350 😄👏

@DaveWallsworth How to see you at an event soon @DaveWallsworth you can show us how the A350 flys. I've learnt a lot about the 350 in the past few months building this sim and I like what I see. 😜
Great day today the 1st outing of the new @British_Airways mobile Flight simulator based on the @Airbus A350 with lots of @dotnet #IoT and #DotNetMaui because that's my wheel house. Fully wheelchair accessible to the controls so everybody can fly.
@DaveWallsworth Please vote, even if it’s a spoiled ballot. Apathy is what some politicians thrive on. May be there’s a local independent candidate you have more affinity to. Or stand on your own, for what you believe in. I too will struggle with the choices on the ballot when it comes to it.
@DaveWallsworth My husband is a secondary school teacher. We couldn’t afford private school, I instead educated them when extra required, lawyer and a pilot now. Personally I agree Rwanda policy wrong but disagree re Private Schools. I would like ALL children given the same opportunity
@DaveWallsworth Agreed on all points, especially Rwanda policy, that is simply horrific
@DaveWallsworth Some of the Northern European countries with top rate public schooling make it mandatory. There are no private schools. The top 10% make the rules and also send their kids to private schools. Ban them from doing so and public schooling would improve. Fast.
@DaveWallsworth Rwanda - agree totally. Private schools no. Many send their kids private because they went as kids, and it's just "assumed." This perpetuates privilege. Many others because it gives their kids "advantage" over others. VAT is perfectly logical and fair to all in my view.
@DaveWallsworth Only surprised that Rwanda would seem to be the only reason not to vote for the tories, when there are so many other reasons too
@DaveWallsworth Agree with you @DaveWallsworth . I'm 'politically homeless ' to be perfectly honest. I think in terms of schools, we should pay teachers way more than we do, but also instil more discipline and a better learning ethic. Good Education is the bedrock of society.
@DaveWallsworth Fair on all counts but I can't countenance not voting. I know it may not make any great difference in the long run but it's a hard-won right so I'll always do it. The big party's don't care if you don't vote, only if you don't vote for them.
@DaveWallsworth I always think the CRM rules usually apply to the Twitter universe 😂
@DaveWallsworth Almost every Party can come up with a policy you could disagree strongly with. Voting is often a compromise and as well as policies it’s useful to consider values, the credibility and integrity of leading politicians, track record, and fit with what the country needs now.
@DaveWallsworth Fair arguments. But as someone with no children I am happy to pay my taxes for the benefit of our next generation. I have no ability to purchase any luxury goods without paying taxes on them so am not overly concerned that those who can afford to pay for luxury goods do pay VAT😊
@DaveWallsworth Never thought of it (2nd point) this way. On the first point, a "local" issue in the UK, I'd say similar current of thinking is sneaking accross Europe. Unfortunately. Thanks for igniting my thoughts, even beyond aviation 😅👏🏻👏🏻
@DaveWallsworth Getting upper class parents involved in their local state schools will raise the standards & not lower them I reckon. I've the same problem. In a safe seat so will vote for whoever came 2nd last time. I also think that we should have compulsory voting like in Australia.
@DaveWallsworth If not Rwanda then what is the alternative? I agree it is a bit of a gimmick and a bit of a blunt solution but other countries are looking at similar schemes. To end here is a nice car I saw today
