@@QatarVegan Interesting response. I was accused of being a conspiracy theorist about the WEF Great Reset when I provided an Amazon link to the book COVID-19: The Great Reset. In this case I'm talking about the report 'UK Fires' which is a UK Government funded collaboration between the universities of Cambridge, Oxford, Nottingham, Bath and Imperial College London. Page 6 is he most illuminating. The clever people (the brightest and best) at Cambridge have come to the conclusion that because new 'green' technologies will not be ready in time then all flying must stop by 2050. The intermediate step will be all UK airfields to close by 2030 with the exception of Heathrow, Glasgow and Belfast. In addition all shipping must stop by 2050. I can't provide a link here but if you search for 'absolute zero uk fires pdf' you should find the report - page 6 and 7 shows the entire set of aims, including "Beef and lamb phased out, along with all imports not transported by train; fertiliser use greatly reduced." Have you heard of Trofim Lysenko?
@@Samuel-gc6js The large aviation engineering companies are being forced to come up with alternate solutions because environmentalists think aviation is the worst. This is an infantile assessment probably based on the assumption that because they are big and noisy they must be the worst. Aviation accounts for between 2% to 3% of CO2 emissions which if you apply the 80/20 rule is the last thing that needs 'fixing' compared to all other so called problems. There are around 25,000 airliners in the world compared to nearly 1.5 billion road vehicles. Every fight only requires a mile of tarmac at either end and nothing in between, while (nearly) all road vehicles require a road for the entire length of a journey, plus road for those coming the other way, plus more roads for more traffic (I am not against road traffic but making a comparison). All engineering improvements in aviation are designed to get more people further with less fuel. Each new generation of jet aircraft get more efficient in 10s of % and none of these improvements are because of any activists demands - this is standard engineering. It is environmental activism that is driving the assertion that aviation needs to change. The environmental activists are not engineers and judging by most of their pronouncements they are not very scientific in the Western tradition. My scepticism of the man made global warming narrative when I read the IPCC report on aviation, while at around the same time I signed up for an OU course on Climate Change as I genuinely wanted understand how it all worked. The IPCC report was not very good and betrayed and thorough lack of knowledge around aviation and was just full of assertions. The report actually admitted it was hard to ascribe any climate change to aviation except that the report asserted that high altitude contrails will heat the earth's surface, because.... Of course, those that are into chem-trail conspiracies think the governments are using contrails to cool the atmosphere, so some people just make up whatever they wish. CO2 is a trace gas and the lions share of any atmospheric warming all comes from contact with the Earth's surface - land or ocean. Any warming from a trace gas is virtually impossible to measure and so we have various attempts to 'adjust' the temperature record because a warming planet is all they've got. This global temperature is an average that is measured in 100ths of a degree C.

Just Finished reading Mike Bannister’s book ‘Concorde’ it’s brilliant 👍🏻
Half way through his book, fascinating read!
Absolutely agree.One of the all time great books from Mike.
In 4 days time, it will be 20yrs since the last flights landed at LHR... And we still have no replacement for her 😭😭
Amazing aircraft!
Make Bannister - 'You can't imagine the human race taking a step back?' Well, the UK government is going to stop all flying by 2050. All.
What's the reason? I believe Rolls Royce has developed an engine that can run on hydrogen
Total nonsense. Just stick to conspiracy platforms.
