Hello everyone!
Sorry for the lack of shows and updates this week. Had a very difficult week at work and looks like it’ll continue into the weekend 😔
Good news is that Jay from @LHRLive will be streaming live from MAN tomorrow from around 2pm! He’s returning via Manchester from his trip to Scotland.
Please tune in and support Jay and Angelina during their stream - it’s a great channel. I’m hoping to pop along to say hi for an hour or so.

Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who joined us for my birthday stream today. Yes, there were a few issues at the start but that’s Woodend for you 🤣
So good to have VT, Drew, Lizz and Simon joining in the fun. Haven’t laughed so much in a long time…
Thanks to my fantastic mods and Louise for their amazing work 😍
Thank you for the donations - very much appreciated 🤩
We’re back on Saturday from around 11. See you then!
Cheers
John 😎✈️

Morning all.
Firstly, apologies for the radio silence recently. Work has been incredibly challenging this week, including a 19-hour day on Wednesday. Needless to say, I’m rather exhausted.
Sadly, there won’t be a stream today either. We have a family event planned for my Birthday (which is next week - see below). VT is also away for a long weekend.
On a positive note, we’ll have at least two streams next week as we’re covering Simon Lowe’s slots as he embarks on his mystery tour with John Walton.
Currently planned:
Thursday 23 April: 10:00 - 15:00 (Birthday Stream 🎂)
Saturday 25 April: 11:00 - 16:00
We may try and sneak another Wednesday evening stream as well.
Thanks for your understanding and see you next week.
John and VT ✈️😎

So this happened on Facebook yesterday. If you’re not already aware, we also have a Facebook page and Facebook group.
I’m incredibly proud of this milestone. Running an aviation channel is hard work and I’m flattered that so many people want to follow our content.
The group is open to anyone - you don’t need to be a member of the YouTube channel. Link is below. It’s a friendly place to share photos of planes (and other airborne creatures 🦅) Go and give it a look 👀

Thanks!

🎉Good News🎉
After last night’s debacle, sorry Live Stream Check Ride, with the CEO, you will be glad to know that we have had our livestream licence renewed for another 12 months.
I’m very proud and pleased that we achieved the rating of AVERAGE. He particularly mentioned our lack of skill with panning and our mod’s behaviour.
Well done everyone!

Just heard about the devastating news coming out of La Guardia. Our thoughts and prayers are with the friends and families of those affected by this tragic incident.
It’s not our place to speculate what happened, leave that to the authorities and investigators.
We are one big aviation family and when something like this happens, we all grieve.
RIP 💜

Morning everyone!
Hope you had a good weekend?
Hoping to get out twice this week - Wednesday evening and Friday morning, for an early show. No Saturday afternoon show again due to family stuff going on.
As always, work may get in the way but it’s looking hopeful!
See you soon
John and the gang. ✈️😎

Morning all.
As mentioned in the week, no stream today, I’m afraid.
BUT we’ll be back on Wednesday evening for a few hours - hopefully have a guest or two 😎
Enjoy your weekend and see you next week
