Vale Geoffrey Thomas ✈️ It is with great sadness that we learn that aviation journalist Geoffrey Thomas has taken his final flight. For decades, Geoffrey was one of the most respected and recognisable voices in aviation journalism. Whether it was a major airline announcement, a new aircraft entering service, an aviation safety issue, or breaking news from anywhere in the world, Geoffrey was often the first person journalists, broadcasters, industry leaders, and aviation enthusiasts turned to for expert insight. As the Editor-in-Chief of AirlineRatings.com, he built a reputation for explaining complex aviation topics in a way that everyone could understand. His knowledge of the industry was extraordinary, but it was his passion for aviation that truly set him apart. Geoffrey could speak with equal enthusiasm about the latest airliner technology, airline history, or the future of flight. For many Australians, Geoffrey became the face and voice of aviation reporting. His calm, measured analysis was a regular feature on television, radio, and in newspapers whenever aviation made headlines. He was trusted because he combined deep expertise with integrity and a genuine love of the industry. Beyond his professional achievements, Geoffrey was simply a wonderful person. Generous with his time, encouraging to aspiring journalists, and always willing to share his knowledge, he left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to meet him. In an industry built around connecting people across vast distances, Geoffrey connected people through his storytelling, insight, and enthusiasm. The aviation community has lost one of its greatest advocates, and Australia has lost one of its finest journalists. Our thoughts are with Geoffrey's family, friends, colleagues, and the countless people whose lives he touched throughout his remarkable career. Blue skies and tailwinds, Geoffrey. Thank you for helping us all understand and appreciate the wonder of flight. ✈️🌏💙 #Perth #WA #Perthnews #WAnews #communitynews #westernaustralia #GeoffreyThomas #ValeGeoffreyThomas #AviationJournalist #AviationLegend #AviationCommunity #AviationNews #AviationExpert #AviationLife #AviationLovers #PilotLife #AirlineIndustry #AviationMedia #Journalism #CommercialAviation #AviationHistory #BlueSkies #LegacyOfFlight #WingsOfMemory #ForeverInOurHearts #RestInPeace #GoneButNeverForgotten #Perthobservatory #Perthobs

@Kshi_nippon Maybe more poorly translated English signs so as to create more photo opportunities.

@taipan168 As I’m not a big fan of clothes dryers I’ve mastered the art of giving almost any room a Chinese laundry look. It does require some creativity to secure the line at both ends.

A new free shuttle bus service was suspended only hours after its launch in Bangkok on Monday following protests from local songtaew operators, highlighting the need to balance public transport development without hurting local business revenues.

When traveling sometimes you just have to go with the flow. Staff are dealing with some very stressed out people. You can’t choose the weather & have no control over flight cancellations but you can choose your last meal. I’ve saved the best till last.

#BeSeenBeSafe🚗 Most crashes aren’t about skill — they’re about visibility. Here’s the problem: The human brain picks up movement first, and only then works out what it’s looking at. That delay can be the difference between a near miss and a crash.

A cat in New Zealand was secretly living between two different homes for nearly five years, and both families thought the cat belonged only to them. One family named the cat Ollie, while the other knew her as Cleo. The cat regularly moved between both homes without raising suspicion, receiving food, attention, and care from each family. When the families found out, they genuinely felt like they had been used by a cat. Hahaha, I wonder what it feels like to be used by a cat 🤣

@7NewsMelbourne @BlakeJohnson Who’s surprised? No one. Not a surprise that China’s goal is to crush the competition. Their long term planning is excellent. No 3 or 4 year voter backlash or environmental lobby group to worry the decision makers. Importing foreign companies to train their workers, brilliant.
