Taking to the skies in a RAF Tornado in 360 Video- BBC News

Published

on



For nearly 40 years, the supersonic Tornado attack bomber has been at the heart of the RAF’s operations, from the Cold War to current missions over Iraq and Syria.

The jet is due to come out of service next year and as the RAF celebrates its centenary, the Today programme’s Sarah Montague was taken for a flight by Wing Commander James Heeps.

    As 617 Sqn and TTTE ex-groundcrew on the GR1, this is the best video I've ever seen of a flight even though it was a 9 Sqn aircraft 🙂. The interactive camera is excellent. Sadly, I never got a trip in one before I left and even sadder is that they no longer grace our skies. I certainly miss them 😥

    I was in Oman during the 1st gulf war. I remember standing with my dad Seeb and watching 2 tornados take off during the night with a deafening sound and full after burner, it was an amazing sight. The tornado is a marvel of engineering.

    Your GPU must be awesome – the frame rates are keeping up with the plane (even at low level) – what is it 8Gb?

    Young lady is going to have the privilege of mock loop, not many get to fly that valley, it's quite a privilege the first time being in the military aircraft flying, that's much different than flying in a civilian aircraft, and she's going to have the privilege of pulling a few g's, maybe nine !!

Man who learnt to read at 18 becomes Cambridge University’s youngest ever black professor – BBC News

Published

on



A man who could not read or write until he was 18 is to become the youngest ever black person to become a professor at Cambridge.

Jason Arday, from south-west London, was diagnosed with autism and global development delay in his early years, and unable to speak until he was 11 years old.

Now the 37-year-old is set to become professor of sociology of education at the university.

Official figures from the Higher Education Statistics Agency show how, in 2021, just 155 of more than 23,000 university professors in the UK were black. 

Prof Arday said he has a particular interest in improving the representation of ethnic minorities in higher education. 

“If we want to make education more inclusive, the best tools we have are solidarity, understanding and love,” he said.
