It breaks my heart to say that Dad has been diagnosed with COVID-19, and is currently hospitalised and on a ventilator. We don't know what happens next, sp please keep us in your thoughts and prayers. If you aren't taking this virus serious already, I plead with you to do so now.
My wonderful and wild father passed away in his sleep this morning, after fighting this virus until the very end. Nothing more could have been done for him. I miss him so much already and still cannot believe he’s gone. Rest in Peace Papa Chewwy, you old sod.
Mum and I have just got home from saying goodbye to our beloved Godfrey, who has unfortunately lost his battle with this horrible virus. He’s at peace and when he drifts off will do so in no discomfort. Please pray for us here, we do not know what happens now for us.
I feel like I’ve jinxed it. Dad has deteriorated again once out of ICU and on a ward. Not too sure what’s happening but he’s taken a step back after the good news this week. I will be very quiet over the next few days as I need to be with mum and help her deal with this.
He’d be so angry at all of this fuss being made over him, but boy are we proud of you Dad. One of a kind. Please stay home and protect yourselves. This virus has already made holes in enough families...don’t risk making more.
Like everybody else in the flight simulation community, I am utterly shocked to hear about the passing of Matt Davies this morning as this vile pandemic has taken another person way too soon.
My deepest condolences go to his loved ones at this horrifically difficult time. 💛
It’s a sunny day today, just like it was a year ago today when you left us. You would be so angry that this virus is still killing people, but so relieved that mum got her second vaccine just yesterday. We miss you every single day, and home still feels so empty. I love you Dad.
Dad had his ventilation tube removed on Tuesday and apparently was sat up on the side of his bed drinking tea and flirting with the nurses within 24 hours. Still very weak but will be moved out of ICU soon hopefully. Not at the finish line yet, but this is a huge step forward!
Dad is still in intensive care, however, things are looking more positive than they were at the start of this week. We are not out of the woods and it is going to be a long journey, but he is still fighting! Mum and I remain safe at home with the cats but are missing him dearly.
The long wait is almost over folks. I’ve been testing the new PMDG 737-700 for

behind closed doors recently, and will be able to show it off to you all soon before its public release. I can’t say more for now, but brace yourselves! 💪🏻
Picked up Dads ashes this afternoon. I’m in an indescribable state of emotions but relieved to at least have his physical remains back at home where he belongs. God do I miss him. Please wear a fucking masks guys and girls; this pandemic isn’t going away anytime soon.

Today marks the start of a new chapter for me as last night I took my final dose of anti-depressants after 6 long years, and 2 months of slowly reducing the dosage to nil. I don’t usually share this kinda thing online, but “New Year New Me” and all that jazz right? 🙂

After 38 days of strict lockdown at home, I’m finally allowed out of the house again. I doubt I’ll ever know if I caught the virus from Dad, or avoided it somehow, but I’ve played it overly safe. So glad I didn’t miss all of the lovely weather and can now go for a walk! 🙂☀️

30 years ago today. I’m so sorry you didn’t quite make it mate. Knowing you you’d probably have forgotten anyway haha! Thanks for taking care of Mum for so long, I promise I’ll make sure she’s alright today.
Happy Fathers Day wherever you are mate. I hope in years to come I can use this day to smile as I think of fond memories, but for now it just really really really fucking hurts more than words can explain. I love you Daddy.
I cannot thank you all enough for your kind words and I’m sorry I haven’t responded to you all, as you can imagine it’s been a rough few days. Dad remains very unwell, but is stable and getting the best care possible to give him a chance at fighting this. Please keep praying.

How can it already be 2 months? In some ways it feels like 2 years since I’ve seen you, yet I’m still struggling to fathom that you’re gone forever. We still have people calling to talk to you, and it breaks my heart every time we have to tell someone else you’re gone.
Dad dedicated not only his career, but all of his free time volunteering for the Ambulance service. It was an honour and a privilege to work alongside him, doing our small bit to help those in need of urgent medical attention in our local community.

Peaked at an unbelievable 2500 viewers today for our first showing of the Fenix Airbus A320. Had a laugh with some major sim stutters that was fixed with a plugin uninstall, but apart from that all went very well. Back live tomorrow at 12:00z for more! Where shall we fly?!
I’ve very much been having a well earned break from all things flight sim whilst on my vacation, but today is PMDG 737 release day for
@MSFSofficial
! It’s been such a pleasure streaming it in pre-release, and I can’t wait for you all to fly this beautiful bird. Enjoy folks 😁
Crazy how pets can just sense you’re upset. Sitting in bed quietly reflecting on the past few months and generally missing Dad a lot, and Timmie jumps onto the bed and makes a fuss of me almost as if Dad sent him to make sure I was okay. 4 months but feels like it’s been 4 years.
Can’t thank you all enough for the incredible reaction to todays news…I’ve truly been blown away. I’m sorry I’ve not been able to get back to everybody who’s sent a message just yet, but I’ve read them all and appreciate every single one! 💙
Over the last few months I’ve really learnt how it’s the little things in life that can count the most at times. Even just surprising mum with proper fish and chips on a Friday so she doesn’t have to cook. Missing Dad a lot today. Hope he’s got a cold pint in hand wherever he is!
Having lost a father to this virus knowing that if the government locked us down 2 weeks earlier he’d still be here, I feel sick to my stomach that there are thousands of families in our country about to experience the same nightmare. 9 months to the day he died. Unforgivable.
So it turns out I accidentally spotted the man, the myth, the legend

departing LAX on an Emirates A380 today. What a cool coincidence! 😂😂😂
Can’t describe how good it feels to finally be able to show screenshots of this aircraft after so long of testing it! Here’s a few pics from our outings today in the beautiful Aer Lingus retro scheme. Another day of Fenix A320 flying tomorrow, and we’ll be live at 11:30UTC.
What a finale for the end of this special event! 🎆 The reveal of our secret project 😍, information on the A380 🐳, and new airports in 2024 👀! Be sure to read the latest development update 👇🏽
Yesterday was tough, and didn’t feel like Christmas at all. There’s a notable gap at home everyday without Dad, but yesterday was much worse. If you couldn’t visit loved ones this Christmas, just remember it was to ensure this virus doesn’t land your family in the same scenario.
Today marks 4 years since I started streaming on
@Twitch
full-time. I gave myself 6 months in the middle of a gap year between university degrees just to see how it went, and here we are still! From the bottom of my heart, thank you. ❤️
2 years. I still somehow can't fathom Dad’s gone, yet at the same time it feels like it's been so long since he did go. This week over 800 families in the UK alone are starting the same journey Mum and I did after losing someone to this fucking virus. It’s still very much here.
Almost 3 months after ordering, the desk is here and safely installed! I am so so so so so happy with it. Was 110% worth the wait. Now to spend the rest of the day wiring everything up! 😁😁😁
What an incredible experience! Thanks to
@MSFSofficial
for letting me be the first person to show off some gameplay of the simulator on their new

channel. I had great fun and I hope everybody who was able to tune in enjoyed the stream! ✈️😁
For all of you with questions/concerns over the MSFS2024 announcement, I hear you, I get you. Let's give Microsoft the courtesy of answering our questions before jumping to early assumptions and conclusions. Me personally? I'M HELLA EXCITED! ✈️✈️✈️

With very few exceptions, virtually all add-ons that work in MSFS (2020) today will function in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Add-ons that were purchased from the in-simulator Marketplace will not need to be re-purchased in MSFS 2024.

As much as I'm loving the support on these daily MSFS vids, it seems so many people in the comments will pick up on just the tiniest detail and moan about it without acknowledging any of the hard work gone into the rest of the video. This is why I’ve always preferred streaming!
Received our first Christmas cards addressed just to Mum and I. Fuck that hurts. We can’t deal with writing our own cards and having to leave a name off when signing them. Sorry to be a negative Nancy, but I can’t wait until Christmas is over. First one hurts the most...right?
I don’t get how one human being can have the mentality to even type something like this. It would be so easy for me to let comments like this absolutely break me, or to lose my temper and let loose at this guy, but Dad would be so disappointed if I did either of those things.
A bitter sweet day. Mum had an unexpected text inviting her for her first COVID-19 vaccine, which she received today. Although we’re happy it’s the start of a new chapter for us, we’re sad it was too late for Dad to have been saved by the same thing. I hope he’s smiling for her!
Dad is a little less lonely this evening, as we’ve discovered my Trumpet teacher of over 10 years and a dear family friend has passed away. I still have the trumpet he taught me on from the age of 5, so I’m spending this evening making sure it’s still in good working order. 🎺
Heading to bed after a crazy ridiculous week of streams. A huge thank you to every single person who stopped by the channel and supported with a follow, chat message, sub, cheer, or donation. Truly blessed to call this my job. No rest for the wicked though, back at it on Monday!
You know you’re an aviation nerd when you see a 747 flying low over the golf you’re watching on TV, so head straight to

I may be quick to criticise, so it’s only fair I’m just as quick if not quicker to praise, and I have to say the

Somehow in two months I’ve gone from 106kg (234lbs) to 99kg (218lbs). 7KG/16lbs/over 1 stone lost from purely eating clean and training 5 days a week. I also got member of the month at my gym! Still got way more to go yet...this is just the start. (Sorry for cheesy tweet) 💪🏻

Happy Birthday wherever you are you old sod. That cheeky smile never left your face no matter your age. I’m so sorry I can’t buy you a pint of bitter at the pub today.
3 years. What I’d give for some of your advice right now. It feels like the whole world has forgotten the virus that took you from us even existed. I don’t think I’ll ever fully recover. God do I still miss you Dad.
Alright somebody who doesn’t know how to read has already announced it in their Discord so I guess my tease tweet just then was useless, but yes it’s true…Fenix A320 NDA lifts TODAY at 12:00z. See you there! 😎
