50 years ago I was a 5 year old boy living in Barnet, developing an obsession with aircraft of all types. We lived in an area often overflown by planes landing at or taking off from Elstree aerodrome, the closest general aviation airfield which was a few miles away to the north west.-

I'm sorry, Moviedle, but today's movie isn't actually a movie. Please get a grip. This is like the time you chose 'Under The Skin' but the credits were from an unrelated short film of the same name. Do better.

Funny how we all just “have to” accept AI as progress even if it’s janky and either has demonstrated no improvements to productivity or outright tanks it, but we never had to accept remote work despite every study showing it improves productivity AND workers lives.

This picture was one of the possible essay subjects in my English Language O-Level. I wrote a pretty terrible story, as I recall, much worse than the one I wrote for my mock exam which was a basic rip-off of Hitchhiker's Guide, on the basis that nobody else had heard of it as it predated the novel.
