COVID-19: UK To Close All Travel Corridors
The United Kingdom is to close all its travel corridors to “protect against the risk of as yet unidentified new strains” of coronavirus.

After that, arrivals to the UK will need to quarantine for up to 10 days, unless they test negative after five days.All incoming passengers, except from the UK’s Common Area, will need proof of a negative COVID test taken within the 72 hours prior to departure.

Rolls-Royce Runs First Engine On World's Largest Testbed
Rolls-Royce has successfully completed the first engine run on their state-of-the-art Testbed 80; which will be the largest indoor aerospace testbed in the world, when it is officially opened in the coming months.
I visited the Testbed 80 site in early 2020, while construction was still underway. The Director of Experimental Engineering explained about the new engine Testbed site.

Video: An Epic Air Adventure in Pakistan by PIA B747, B777, A310, ATR-42
I have traveled to Pakistan in December 2012. During that 3 days trip, I flew 8 sectors across the whole country on Pakistan International Airlines (PIA). It was an epic adventure to see Pakistan by air.
This is a trip report of flying PIA A310, B777, ATR-42 and B747-300 in Pakistan. Every flight has a story to tell. Not just aviation, I have visited Karachi, Islamabad, Gilgit and Lahore. I saw the country first hand which was often negatively portrayed in the media. I saw the vast beauty of the Northern region of Pakistan, the great hospitality of the people to foreigners; the amazing food and culture. I had a great time in Pakistan and hoping to go back soon.
