The Pilot’s Briefing
Join us on a British Airways flight and listen to the pilot briefing the passengers about the up and coming flight to Chania, Crete. I’m sure someone will tell me that the image I have chosen is not that of an Airbus A380!

Join me on a transatlantic KLM flight heading towards Europe. Listen to what the pilot has to say.
The Pre-Flight Safety Briefing
Join me on a KLM flight and listen to the safety briefing many of us, I suspect, don’t listen to.
The Pesky Aircraft Overflight…
Join me as I try to record bird sounds in the wood only to have a light aircraft fly overhead…

The Pipework
In today’s plastic and electronic world, we often seem to lose sight of how important engineering skills are to us. And, we especially lose sight of how important solid engineering training is. We certainly don’t always seem to make things like we used to. Perhaps it is because our politicians mostly read PPE at Oxford or are former lawyers. They wouldn’t know a spanner if it hit them on the head! That leads me to ask the question…what exactly are our politicians good for? Answer (as in the song): ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

The Vulcan Bomber Cockpit
It could almost be a spaceship! The photograph was taken from the ‘back room’ of the Vulcan where three ‘back office’ crew members would have sat. It will be clear from the image that the Vulcan bomber was not build for comfort.
The Seaplane
The Flyboy
The Big Guns
If the firing pin interrupter mechanism didn’t work, there was every chance you would shoot your own propellor off.

The Utter Pointlessness of War
Over 57,000 aircrew were killed during World War 2 (46% death rate). I can’t help wondering how many more young men and women will be killed if fighting breaks out (again) in Iran/Iraq and beyond. Ultimately a pointless and tragic loss of human life. We never seem to learn.
