Flight Lieutenant Jamie Norris, the Royal Air Force’s 2013 Eurofighter Typhoon Display Pilot is our main guest, supported by a review of some great aviation books and a look back at a year in aviation.
Jamie tells us what it’s like to fly the Eurofighter Typhoon and experience the sheer exhilaration, power, thrust and agility of the UK’s front line multi-role aircraft.
Pieter takes a look at some of the great aviation books that are on the market and that any aviation enthusiast needs to have on their shelf, and the whole team take a look back at 2012, our year in aviation.
Listener mail, Tweets, recordings and Facebook messages make for an interesting Get Involved segment and of course there are always the out-takes to keep you amused!
