An aircraft that's not on the radar has been circling central London since sundown. A commercial flight into Gothenburg declared emergency. A commercial flight out of Gothenburg declared emergency. UK Apache helicopters were up. Dutch Apache and Chinooks (and so on) were up, too.
Any number of military planes were at it across Europe: US, UK, German, Belgian, Canadian. A seemingly commercial flight out of Rzeszów landed at Brize Norton. On 1st Feb, the same high levels of activity, except with fighter jets, too. Is there something we should know?

Soaking up every last beat of @worldwidefm 1.0. Live until midnight (bloody not BST, hello UTC). 2.0 in 2023 maybe, please and thank you. Big up @gillespeterson and crew, I honestly don't know what I'll do without all of you.
Opening door to courier in my usual mask:
"Is this a hospital?" they ask.
"No, it's an office."
"I just want to know what's this building."
"An office."
"Is. This. A. Hospital?!!!" they ask, slowly, loudly, incredulous.
"No, it's an office. Thanks! Bye now."
