Online data showed the Pitts Special S2A spent seven minutes circling the farm at 172mph on May 3. He also wrote: 'Fit it with a f***ing silencer.' But Mike, 57, told The Sun: 'I've written to Mr Clarkson to say I'm sorry and didn't mean to cause any problems. 'I was practising my aerobatics, going up to 2,000ft and doing loops and rolls — using a railway line as a guide. 'As a professional pilot of 40 years, safety is at the heart of all I do. 'That's why I practise the routines nice and high and try and get away from people. 'I live down the road so I wouldn't want to annoy my neighbours with the noise. 'If Mr Clarkson wanted to come up with me I'd be more than happy to show him Diddly Squat Farm.' Mike learned to fly aged ten. I don't want folk going veggie due to farming crisis, rages Jeremy Clarkson - so my pub will serve pig uterus & squirrel His restored Pitts Special was built in 1972 and flown by his dad Marcus in the 1970s Rothmans display team. Flying pal Tom Saunders, 44, posted in response to Jeremy, whose farm is near Chadlington, Oxon: 'Silencer was too expensive so I sent Jeremy these earmuffs.' In another post, Tom said: 'I think somebody needs a hug.' Other fans pointed out the irony of Jeremy's complaint. One sniped: 'Man drives the loudest cars forever. Retires and complains about noise.' Another added: 'Anyone else here for the irony of the loudest man on TV throwing his toys out of the pram over one little plane?' 4 Flying ace Mike has offered to take Jeremy up in the stunt plane Unlock even more award-winning articles as The Sun launches brand new membership programme - Sun Club.

Harry Styles spotted dancing up a storm at London music festival
Harry Styles is not missing out on this year's selection of incredible music festival headliners, even if he's not back on stage just yet. The As It Was hitmaker, 31, has been taking time away from the recording studio after the success of his Love On Tour in 2023. His last on-stage performance was in July last year, making a surprise appearance to duet with headliner Stevie Nicks at BST Hyde Park. On Saturday, he dipped his toe back into the music world and headed to Victoria Park to watch Jamie XX perform at Lido Festival. Possibly, he was warming up his dancing shoes ahead of a secret set at Worthy Farm — or just heading to the festival for fun. Fans won't know until Glastonbury kicks off in three weeks,but Harry looked incredibly happy dancing the night away with friends at Lido. Somehow, the star had managed to get himself right to the barricade without anyone noticing. The One Direction heartthrob rocked a low-key look including a blue cap, a windbreaker and a jumper to protect against the rainy London weather. Dancing in the busy crowd appeared to get Harry a little hot and sweaty as he ditched his jumper to reveal a grey t-shirt with a smiley face on it. While the Watermelon Sugar singer is known for his bold on-stage looks, however, he keeps his street style far less flamboyant (other than the short shorts). Lido Festival was packed for Jamie XX's headlining slot, which was supported by acts such as Sampha, Romy, Skrillex and Nia Archives. Fans were loving Harry's gig-going antics on social media with Moondancerry writing on X: I love that Harry Styles is just living his best life during this break and we get these small glimpses into that🥹.' His break has included a baffling side quest to the Vatican City when he was spotted in the crowd waiting for smoke to confirm the new Pope. On May 8, the papal conclave in the Vatican chose the new Pope, and white smoke began billowing out of the Sistine Chapel. A bell marked the election of Robert Francis Prevost as the new Pope, who will be known as Pope Leo XIV. Another side quest saw Harry speedily run the Tokyo marathon, placing 6010 out of approximately 38,000. More Trending Mainly, he has been seen around London, where he owns a house, catching up with friends and soaking up the sun in some very tiny shorts. As for Lido Festival, the gigs continue across the next month with sets from Turnstile, London Grammar, and the Brat icon herself Charli XCX. Charli is dominating festival season along with Chappell Roan as both pop icons take over Primavera Sound with Sabrina Carpenter. The Apple hitmaker will head to Worthy Farm later this month while Chappell plays Sziget Festival as well as Reading and Leeds in August. Got a story?
