MH370: Search for long-missing Malaysia Airlines fight to resume The Boeing 777 with 239 people on board vanished in 2014 in one of the greatest aviation mysteries.

I was on the reporting team @cnn.com for months as this story broke. I’d argue the most compelling aircraft investigation the world has ever seen.

Petition: Invest in brain cancer and give rights – turn terminal into treatable Brain cancer is the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40, 87% with a high-grade brain tumour diagnosis die within 5 yrs, and yet it gets just 1% of the national spend on cancer.

My lovely mate Group Captain Pip Harding is enduring brain cancer right now. I attended his living memorial and he is still fighting. ~79,000 more signatures required. If you live, work, or study in the UK (inc under 18), you can sign. Link below. Thank you.

WATCH tonight’s #SecurityBrief is now on @YouTube. The evolution of Chinese Hypersonic Missile Capability - that’s missiles that travel at Mach 5+ and warheads that can manœuvre. The West currently has no answer. Unless space is weaponized? @BBCWorld

Watch an episode of the #SecurityBrief breaking down U.S submarine operations & capability. Guest is Ret’d Commodore Bob Fancy, former trainer on the Royal Navy’s elite Perisher course-arguably one of the hardest courses to pass in the British military.

Nothing correlates. Misinformation and disinformation (no surprise there). Don’t take anything at face value. I’m working hard to join the dots. As there is a lot that doesn’t sync. #Doha

Not sure why this latest attack suddenly wakes Trump to Putin’s disregard for any cessation of hostility. Putin/Lavrov have made it quite clear what their egregious demands are. 4 Eastern Oblasts, zero pathway to NATO or other alliances, and capping on Ukraine military capability. Wake up!

What’s smashing Ukraine at the moment are the massive attacks by Putin using Geran 2 drones (a copy of the Iranian-made Shahed 2 - effectively the same blue print). And glide bombs (Fab 500 to Fab 3000). Patriots won’t be able to absorb these mass of attacks.

Of course. Same when the FAA was gutted. The uptick of incidents and accidents that started occurring wasn’t a coincidence.
