We are joined by Liz McConaghy. Liz is from a small town in County Down and spent a total of seventeen years flying with the RAF’s Chinook Force. Liz talks to us about her flying career, the mighty Chinook and the after-effects of war, stress and the impact on her mental health.

Commander Paul Tremelling spent nearly twenty years flying the Royal Navy’s Sea Harrier, with several exchange duties, including flying the F-18 Super Hornet.

We are joined by Jonathan Sayers a local historian who takes us on Greenham Common’s journey from Jacobean rebellion camp through World War 2 and into the Cold War where it became mostly familiar as a base for Ground Launched Cruise Missiles.

On this episode we have the Editorial Team from the Royal Aeronautical Society talking about events over the summer and return of airshows.

Whilst we take an Xtended break we mine the archives for some great content many of you may have never heard before. In this episode Gareth talks to Dave Gledhill about flying and fighting the F-4 Phantom FGR2, what the Tornado F-3 was really like and the Cold War realities of a nuclear outcome!
