Thank you! Yep, that was 8.4 hours at Mach 0.88 (about 600 mph) with the sun in our eyes most of the way (westbound it doesn’t move much) into some crappy weather on final approach. Glad to get to the hotel!

But I’ll take the β€˜I stood in the hypocaust’ ones. The ones with @durotrigesdig.bsky.social feet in the frame

Well, glad you brought it up! I was about to suggest it…and I think they’d be spectacular…they could be made like a lorica squamata and would clearly sell like hot cakes πŸ˜ƒ

That’s very exciting!
Are you planning on selling Curator Rob themed t-shirts in the shop? XL please.
(Failing that, β€œI’ve stood in the hypocaust” ones would be perfect)

Tried to correct for thin film interference in the cockpit window in this wider view. The blue is from the fast receding dusk on this eastbound flight

You can see the nebulosity. A bit. Colour and exposure a challenge, shot through the windscreen at 43,000 feet. Occasional light atmospheric jostling during the exposure doesn’t help

We’ve just had flooding rains for at least a month back at home so this’ll be a nice change😁
