- Theroadislong - upon re-reading, the tweet's fact is already proved with in another footnote so I have removed it; and the instagram post (even though it is directly stating the fact used in the sentence) is actually from a non-public website - so I understand it can't be used. Therefore, I have removed it too. Ennegma (talk) 19:51, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
Statement of Interests
I have recently joined the Royal Aeronautical Society, and will soon be presenting a a RAeS conference. Writing this article was out of personal motivation - it was not suggested or recommended to me by anyone. At the time of writing, I have never had direct communication with this article's subject.
