Firstly Happy Fathers Day!
And now, it’s time to look back on the week at Economy Class and Beyond.
Continuing the series “Walking around Birmingham with an iPhone after work”, I’m walking around Birmingham City Centre after a rain storm (as this week has been mostly… well… wet – or to put it another way, I’ve been going home mostly soaked on the walk home

Next week
It’s Salon Du Bourget week – or to the rest of us – The Paris Air Show 2019.. Whilst I won’t be on the ground at Paris (something about no press accreditation), I will be reporting from the sidelines as the news breaks, with regular daily digests. I’ll be also keeping up on events off the show field.
Until we catch up again – Stay safe out there!
