Fact of the Day: The A380 is so big (as big as 27 London buses) that smaller planes such as the BAC 1-11 can land on the emergency runway fitted on the A380's roof. Photographed from a Canberra #AvGeek

sad day when you hear from another veteran they’ve been told by clinicians their PTSD is too complex to treat. Let’s give hope not take it away. Mental health recovery is unique and just because we haven’t found the right path doesn’t mean there is no hope. #mentalhealth #PTSD – at East Midlands, England

Don’t let ‘Pride’ prevent asking for help. Remember, it takes a stronger person to know when they require support and to ask for it when needed. Do not suffer in silence, ‘lift the lid’… speak to someone and utilise the support available. #LiftingTheLid bit.ly/38esYp6

Living with a non-visible disability can make every day life demanding and exhausting – be patient and kind, you don’t know what challenges are being faced and overcome by those around you. It’s about ABILITY not disability. #InternationalDayOfPeopleWithDisabilities
