RT by @SpaethFlies: I am so very sad to lose my long term dear friend and stalwart of aviation - Geoffrey Thomas.
He was the best Australian aviation reporter I have ever had the pleasure to work with over many decades, and part of me goes with him.
Every pilot has lost a friend.
Thanks and RIP

RT by @SpaethFlies: The fire services normally respond to emergencies… not be the cause of them. Doing this sort of ‘unplanned’ event is a nice way of commemorating final flights etc… but not planning properly leads to mishaps. This is an expensive one.
An interesting insurance claim coming up… https://x.com/AviacionGYE/status/2062595092763078961/video/1

Geoffrey Thomas was an amazing colleague+friend in #aviation journalism, old school in the best sense. While aware he'd been ill for some time, this news is very sad and touching for me, we have collaborated a lot over the years. @roblagnac hits the point. Farewell Geoff!

RT by @SpaethFlies: A collapsed nose gear is an ugly thing, but look closely at what happens when you design an airplane with an intense level of forethought for such a failure. The weight sits entirely on the 787’s nose — not the engines — and the MLG doors still open freely.
