Episode 316 - Happy Birthday Captain Tom!


Listen Later

Join Nev, Captain Nick and Matt for today's show.

In this week's episode we hear worrying news involving Nev's favourite airline, Han Solo is in trouble with the FAA for a runway incursion in the Falcon and after 9 years of delays Berlin celebrate the opening of their new airport.

We also pay tribute to the incredible achievements of Captain Tom Moore as he turns 100 years young this week.

In the Military we have an accidental missile fire whilst on the ground and the new 'Airforce One' is already over budget despite not going into service until 2024.

There's another stroll down memory lane thanks to Nev's great little highlights package and we hear from Nik Codling, Clare Aitken and Mahzuz Karim with some feedback.

The Old Warren are hosting their first 'Virtual Airshow' whilst Lockdown continues - Take yourself to https://www.shuttleworth.org/events/seasonpremiere-onlineairshow/ to enjoy this unique event.
