Ep.168 – North Korea Airshow

Listen to this episode now

On our Journalist’s Roundtable discussion in Ep.161 (Trust Me I’m an Aviation Journalist), Rich Cooper mentioned the visit to a North Korea Airshow. We wanted to find out more and Rich introduced us to author and photographer, Gerry Manning, who was there.

Gerry joins us to share the experience and we talk airliners and fighter jets as well as helicopters, cargo lifters and microlights. All sourced from behind the ‘iron curtain’!

We also explore the food, culture and history of North Korea, as Gerry takes us back through a trip to a “once in a lifetime” air show.
