In a week where we officially welcome Armando to the team, join Carlos, Nev, Matt and our new host for the show.

In today's episode the discussion on IFE continues as some Irish lads play Trad music on their low cost flight, BA announce some retro liveries in honour of their centenary year and trials begin at Gatwick for Robot Valet Parking.

Pip returns with a discussion on Magnetic North Poles.

In the military Washington announces the next Arsenal of Democracy Fly-Over and we learn far more than we need to about the airforce and their toilet habits.
