Fighter jet cockpit view

A SUPERSONIC jet which could fly from London to New York in just 90 minutes has revealed what passengers could expect from the flight. Inside the Spike S-512 Supersonic Jet cabin would be a large seating area, which can be converted to beds or a dining area and flat-screen TVs. The flights, which would have a maximum 18 seats, will have no windows, due to window sections being the weakest part of a plane. They also bring in a lot of noise, making the plane not just stronger and more fuel-efficient but quieter as well. Spike Aerospace founder and CEO Vik Kachoria told the Telegraph : "“The Concorde was ridiculously noisy. "Most conversations between two people are between 65 and 75 decibels and the noise level found within most plane cabins is around 85 decibels. "Our windowless aircraft will be about 60 decibels, so lower than the sound of a conversation." Instead, long computer screens along the wall of the cabin will simulate panoramic views.

MISSION Impossible’s all about pulling off the unfeasible – but shooting the film during a pandemic is a challenge too far for leading man Tom Cruise and his team. He flew the cast and crew to the Middle East for the latest run of scenes, but has been forced to end filming of the seventh instalment of the franchise after people refused to work any longer. Production staff demanded they were allowed to head back to the UK this weekend before hotel quarantine rules come into effect on Monday. Studio bosses have now had to charter a private jet to bring them home because they were up in arms about not being able to return to their families. A movie insider said: “The whole production has hit yet another issue and there have been revolts among the cast and crew. “For quite a few of them, the prospect of having to quarantine in a hotel back in the UK is a step too far and they’ve demanded to be flown home before the rules change. The studio has had to fund a jet back and the … [Read more...] about Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible filming scrapped as crew fly home from the Middle East

BBC journalist Martin Bashir will not face a criminal investigation over documents related to his interview with Princess Diana, the Metropolitan Police says. It had been alleged the journalist forged bank statements in order to secure the landmark Panorama interview with the Princess of Wales in 1995. But in a statement, the Met said officers had sought legal advice from internal lawyers, independent counsel and the Crown Prosecution Service and determined it was "not appropriate" to launch a criminal probe. The documents were alleged to have been used to falsely show payments were made to members of royal staff in exchange for information about the princess. Diana's younger brother Earl Spencer has said he was shown the documents and went on to connect his sister with Bashir - something the earl says he would not have done had he not been misled. Advertisement Alan Waller, who used to work for Earl Spencer as head of security, claims he was the … [Read more...] about Martin Bashir’s Diana interview won’t face criminal investigation, police say

CHANNEL 4 have hit back at axed SAS: Who Dares Wins star Ant Middleton after he dismissed their allegations of "inappropriate comments" as "banter". The 40-year-old star slammed the "desperate and reckless" broadcaster live on Good Morning Britain yesterday - insisting that he'd already decided to leave the show. When quizzed on new claims that he'd received complaints from female staff members , Ant said these would have been "indirect" remarks and "military humour" from his and the other instructors' dorm. Channel 4 have now released a statement refuting these claims - saying the "inappropriate comments" were made when the cameras weren't rolling and are completely separate to his "on-screen persona". They told The Mirror : "Our decision not to renew Ant Middleton’s contract and not to work with him again was solely based on his personal conduct off-camera and is not related to his on-screen persona as a DS." Addressing Ant's complaint that the programme had … [Read more...] about Channel 4 hits back at axed SAS star Ant Middleton after he claimed they were upset over ‘banter’
