Tentative Truce [RP]

With @dazednde-fused:

Hearing his real name uttered by The Voice Who Answers gave him a strange flutter in his belly. It felt strange, but also made him oddly joyful. The happy feeling quickly gave way to worry. Thunderbird Two grounded? Wait, the machine or the pilot? John said repairs, so that meant just the machine, right? Not that that was a good thing. Concentrate on the job at hand. Moving rubble. With explosives. Okay, that could be done. No cave-ins though. Tricky. He'd need to be careful - not something that had been a priority with his last employer. "Uh, okay. Yeah." He swallowed hard. He could do this. For the briefest of moments, he'd entertained the idea that John meant Thunderbird One was coming here to take him out to Australia to give hands on help. Then he realised the GDF wouldn't allow that, so John must have meant help-via-holocall. "So, you want me to give Scott . . . er, Thunderbird One advice on types and quantities of explosives and precise placement and stuff, right? I can do that, but I'll need as much information as you can give me on the terrain and the type of rock and soil involved." Doing this remotely wouldn't be ideal, and the potential for getting something wrong was higher than he'd like. What if something went wrong and people got hurt? He'd never be able to prove to IR and the Tracys that he'd changed then.

The look of relief that slips through Thunderbird Five's mask of professionalism suggests that the situation may be far more dire than John had been letting on.

"We appreciate your cooperation." He says, and it sounds surprisingly sincere for so robotic a statement, "The GDF has granted us a special permissions licence, for this rescue only, to have you on-site. I'm afraid we'll have to tolerate a security detail, but International Rescue isn't about to complain about having more hands for a job." There's a quick flash of white teeth that might even count as a smile.

"I trust I don't need to get Colonel Casey in here to remind you to toe the line?" John adds, watching as the other man is flanked by uniformed GDF officials, ready to be escorted out to the waiting helijet. "I'll transfer the schematics I have of the site over to your handlers now."

Even with the guard, the Space Monitor has no intention of leaving Fuze's commline for even a moment. He's taking a big risk here, gambling like this, but he hopes that the fact that - should he try anything, should he go rouge - his GDF entourage will make sure he never sees the light of day again, will be enough to keep his brother and the rescuees safe.

Clarence expressed a desire to change... and John is hedging a lot of bets on that being true.

James Allan Mollison was born on April 19th 1905 in Glasgow.

Graeme Obree, Chris Hoy and a certain steam train have all bee called The Flying Scotsman in their time, but the original title goes to a man who actually did fly, Jim Mollison.

Jim would go on to become a pioneering aviator, breaking records for long distance flights. His marriage to fellow aviator Amy Johnson also saw them lauded as the golden couple during their time together.

Born the only child of Hector Alexander Mollison, a consultant engineer, and Thomasina Macnee Addie. He was educated at The Glasgow Academy and Edinburgh Academy and took an early interest in flying and obtaining his Royal Air Force (RAF) Short Service Commission at 18, he was the youngest officer in the service, and upon completion of training was posted to India, flying on active service in Waziristan.

At the age of 22, Mollison became a flying instructor at Central Flying School (CFS), again setting the record for being the youngest in this role. Shortly after, he transferred to the RAF Reserve and devoted his time to civil aviation. In 1928-29, he served as an instructor with the South Australian Aero Club in Adelaide, leaving that position to become a pilot with Eyre Peninsular Airways and Australian National Airways.

In July-August 1931, Mollison set a record time of eight days, 19 hours for a flight from Australia to England, and in March 1932, a record for flying from England to South Africa in 4 days, 17 hours flying a de Havilland Puss Moth.

Mollison eventually served in the ATA Air Transport Auxiliary in the Second World War. In June 1941 Mollison and an ATA crew delivered Cunliffe-Owen OA-1 G-AFMB to Fort Lamy, Chad. The aircraft was fitted out as a personal transport for General De Gaulle.

Mollison was feted in London and New York, and could lead the life he had always wanted. “I am a night bird,” he once said. “Life and enjoyment begin when daylight fades. Cocktail bars and clubs, music, beautiful women— that’s living. Daylight comes to me as an interval for sleeping until an afternoon drink helps to bring on another evening.” His autobiography was called “Playboy of the Air”.

When Mollison and Amy Jonson married in 1932 the press were delighted, they were dubbed The Flying Sweethearts by the press and public. . The match was was perfect for the publicity machine, and the two of them set about devising new aviation records: in 1933 they flew together from Wales to New York and had a ticker-tape reception in Wall Street. But marriage did not last long or end well. It has sometimes been assumed that the match was a simple career move on Mollison's part: certainly he did not halt his relationships with other women. Nor did it limit his drinking. As I said earlier, he got the tag “ the Flying Scotsman” but those close to him called him “Brandy Jim”.

As well as his Playboy lifestyle and heavy drinking Jim Mollison was also quick with his fists, and a manager from the Grosvenor House Hotel was reported as saying ” We've had the most awful night here. Jim Mollison and Amy Johnson had a fearful row and he's beaten her up. The bathroom looks like a slaughterhouse.” The marriage officially ended in 1938.

Mollison kept flying, and – like Johnson – flew in a non-combat role in WWII. Both of them flew in the Air Transport Auxiliary. Johnson died in 1941 after baling out of aircraft. Mollison had at least one close escape, when his plane was shot up, but survived the war.

Mollison later settled in London and ran a public house. He married Maria Clasina E. Kamphuis in 1949 at the Maidenhead Register Office. Mollison continued to abused alcohol and in 1953, the Civil Aviation Authority Medical Board revoked his pilot's licence. The couple separated but Maria bought the Carisbrooke Hotel in Surbiton for him – a temperance hotel.

Suffering from acute alcoholism, he was admitted to The Priory, Roehampton, southwest London, where he died on 30 October 1959, the official cause of death was pneumonia, but unofficially it was thought to be alcoholic epilepsy.

The pics a pretty self explanatory, the colour one is titled Sweethearts and is from Italian paper Il Mattino Illustrato and shows Mollison kissing his wife of 6 weeks goodbye before he set off in 1932 to become the first pilot to fly solo east-to-west across the Atlantic from Ireland to Canada.

Australia's Liberal Party has for the first time chosen a woman as its leader, with Sussan Ley to take over from Peter Dutton after he led the party to a bruising election loss.

Ley, from the moderate faction of the party, beat Angus Taylor - who ran on a promise to restore conservative values - by four votes.

At the election on 3 May, the Liberal-National coalition, currently Australia's main opposition party, suffered what many are calling the worst defeat in its history.

Pundits and MPs have blamed the result on polarising leaders, a messy campaign and "Trumpian" policies, which alienated women and young people in particular.

Ley's appointment comes as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was sworn in at Government House on Tuesday, following his Labor Party's landslide election win.

According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Labor has won at least 93 seats - increasing their majority by 16 - while the Coalition has 41 electorates, down from 58. Some seats are still too close to call.

Ley has held the massive regional New South Wales seat of Farrer since 2001 and has served as a senior minister in a variety of portfolios - making her one of the Liberal Party's most experienced hands. She was also the party deputy under Dutton.

Ted O'Brien, a Queensland MP who was the energy spokesman in charge of selling the coalition's controversial nuclear power proposal, was elected Ley's deputy.

Both are expected to address the media later on Tuesday, but Ley has previously said she wanted to help the party rebuild its relationship with Australians.

"Many Australians, including women and younger Australians, feel neglected by the Liberal Party," she said when announcing her desire to lead.

"We need to listen and we need to change. The Liberal Party must respect modern Australia, reflect modern Australia and represent modern Australia."

Speaking after the party room vote, former minister Linda Reynolds said: "Australia spoke very clearly to the Liberal Party and we've listened and we've acted."

The junior coalition partner, the Nationals, re-elected leader David Littleproud on Monday, after he too was challenged by a hardlineconservative colleague.

Albanese's new cabinet was also sworn in on Tuesday.

The biggest changes include former Labor deputy Tanya Plibersek swapping from the environment portfolio to social services, and former communications minister Michelle Rowland becoming attorney general.

Former Attorney General Mark Dreyfus and Ed Husic - the first Muslim to become an Australian government minister - were both removed from the frontbench.

"I have got people who are, I think, in the best positions and that's across the board," Albanese said when announcing the positions on Monday.

A 'wonderfully varied' path to politics

Born in Nigeria to English parents, Ley grew up in the United Arab Emirates before moving to Australia at age 13.

"Travelling, and being at boarding school on my own, I think you either sink or swim," Ley said in a previous interview. "Obviously, I was someone who decided very early on in life that I wasn't going to sink."

It was as a young woman that she changed her name from Susan to Sussan, inspired by numerology - an ancient belief that numbers have a mystical impact on people's lives.

"I read about this numerology theory that if you add the numbers that match the letters in your name you can change your personality," she told The Australian.

"I worked out that if you added an 's' I would have an incredibly exciting, interesting life and nothing would ever be boring. It's that simple."

"And once I'd added the 's' it was really hard to take it away."

As an adult she has had a "wonderfully varied" career path, Ley says, obtaining degrees in economics and accounting while raising three young children, earning a commercial pilot licence, and working in the outback mustering livestock.

Elected in 2001 to represent an area the size of New Zealand, Ley was promoted to Health Minister under Malcom Turnbull in 2014, but resigned two years later amid an expenses scandal.

Ley apologised after using a taxpayer-funded trip to purchase an apartment on Queensland's Gold Coast.

She re-joined the frontbench in 2019 after Scott Morrison's "miracle" election win, as the Minister for Environment.

In that role, she was taken to court by a group who claimed she had a duty of care towards children to protect them from harm caused by climate change. Eight teenagers and an 87-year-old nun convinced a court that the government had a legal duty towards them when assessing fossil fuel projects, but the landmark decision was later overturned.

Ley has also drawn headlines for her comments about Palestinians. She was a co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine, an informal cross-party group which aimed to raise the experiences of Palestinian people and has spoken in the chamber in support of Palestinian autonomy.

However, speaking after the vote on Tuesday, one of her colleagues Andrew Wallace said she has "seen the light on Israel in recent years".

How to Choose the Right Flight School for Your Pilot Training in Australia

If you've ever dreamt of soaring through the skies as a licensed pilot in Australia, you're not alone. Pursuing a pilot license in Australia is a thrilling endeavor that opens up a world of opportunities, from commercial flying to private aviation. However, choosing the right flight school is a crucial first step towards achieving your dream of becoming a pilot. In this article, we'll explore the factors to consider when selecting the ideal flight school for your pilot training in Australia.

Accreditation and Certification: The first and most crucial factor to consider is whether the flight school is accredited by the relevant aviation authorities in Australia. Look for schools that are approved by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). Accreditation ensures that the school meets the highest safety and training standards.

Instructor Qualifications: Your flight instructors play a vital role in your training. Ensure that the flight school employs experienced and certified instructors who are passionate about teaching and have a track record of producing successful pilots.

Aircraft Fleet: A diverse and well-maintained fleet of aircraft is essential for comprehensive pilot training. Check if the school offers a range of aircraft types, from single-engine to multi-engine, to cater to your specific training needs.

Facilities and Infrastructure: Visit the flight school and assess their facilities. A modern and well-equipped training environment contributes to a more effective learning experience.

Safety Record: Research the school's safety record and history of incidents. A strong safety culture is paramount in aviation, so choose a school with an impeccable safety record.

Cost: While cost is an important consideration, don't make it your sole deciding factor. Quality training is an investment in your future. Compare the costs of different flight schools, but prioritize those that offer a balanced blend of quality training and affordability.

Location: Consider the location of the flight school. It should be convenient for you to access and offer training in an environment with diverse weather conditions and airspace.

Student-to-Instructor Ratio: Smaller class sizes and a low student-to-instructor ratio often lead to more personalized and effective training.

Reviews and Recommendations: Read reviews and seek recommendations from current and former students. Their experiences can provide valuable insights into the school's strengths and weaknesses.

Career Opportunities: If your goal is to pursue a career in aviation, inquire about the school's track record in helping graduates secure employment as pilots.

In Australia, obtaining a pilot license is a regulated process, and the journey can be both challenging and rewarding. By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a flight school that aligns with your goals and sets you on the path to obtaining your Pilot License in Australia.

In conclusion, selecting the right flight school is a pivotal decision in your journey to becoming a pilot. By focusing on accreditation, instructor qualifications, facilities, safety, cost, location, student-to-instructor ratio, reviews, and career opportunities, you can make an informed choice that will shape your aviation career positively. Start your adventure in the skies by choosing a flight school that best suits your aspirations and needs.

Mollison eventually served in the ATA Air Transport Auxiliary in the Second World War. In June 1941 Mollison and an ATA crew delivered Cunliffe-Owen OA-1 G-AFMB to Fort Lamy, Chad. The aircraft was fitted out as a personal transport for General De Gaulle.

What Is The Best Academy In Australia To Get Good Pilot Training?

As a professional pilot, you'll have a lot of decision-making opportunities throughout the course of your career. Your choice of location for your training will become one of the most crucial considerations. If you are completely new to the aviation sector, it might be challenging to make the best decision when selecting a flight school, as there are literally thousands of options available all over the world. Because of this, it is extremely difficult for you to ask the correct questions, both of yourself and regarding the school because you do not know what you do not know. But just don't worry; we're here to assist you. When selecting a flying school, the following five factors are among the most important to think about.

The instructors at your flight school will be able to assist you in determining which pilot certification level and training program will best prepare you to achieve your flying ambitions. To obtain a recreational pilot licence, for instance, you will need to complete a shorter amount of training overall than they will for a professional pilot's license certificate. However, the recreational pilot licence is only to be used for that purpose i.e Recreation – you cannot get a job and be paid to fly with this licence

A higher overall amount of training is necessary to earn a Commercial Pilot Licence, but doing so opens the door to flying larger, more capable aircraft as well as gives you an advantage when applying for elevated amounts of certification and Flight Training Australia. To be able to use a commercial pilot licence, you need to get an aviation medical  certificate issued by either an approved aviation medical examiner.

Taking Into Account Your Timetable

The next essential factor that you should think about is the amount of time that you are willing to devote. Pilot Training In Australia for an airline requires a significant investment of both time and money, and there are numerous training standards that must be adhered to. It is entirely up to you to decide how much of your spare time you are able to invest in flight training.

Nevertheless, putting in a small amount of time and effort will immediately slow down your advancement. If you want to get your pilot's license at altitude, then it's going to take you more time to train, and it's going to cost you more money as well. Regular classes are an important must. It is not worth your time to continue taking lessons from you if you are going to space them out over a significant amount of time.

Students at some flying schools are required to adhere to certain rules and a curriculum. Whenever you are studying different institutions, it is important to ensure that you will be able to meet their requirements by looking into their policies and requirements.
