It’s Sunday again – and more importantly – Mothers Day in the UK and Ireland.
The year continues to plod along as we pass a year into this pandemic. But, no matter – it’s time for Last Week at Economy Class and Beyond.
There are a lot of bats in the sky. Such is life – Grand Central, Birmingham.

Next week
It’s been nearly a year since the first lockdown was announced in the United Kingdom. We’ll take a look back at the many changes since then, and where things will go as forward.
We also have some technical reviews coming up too, as well as our regular coverage of what’s happening in the aviation world.
Until then, stay safe and wear a mask!
