Listen Later

Liz McConaghy is from a small town in County Down Noethan Ireland, spent a total of seventeen years flying with the RAF’s Chinook Fleet. Aged just 21, she was the youngest aircrew member to deploy to Iraq and was also the only female crewman’ on the Chinook wing for four years. Liz became the longest serving female chinook crew member and during her career deployed to Afghanistan ten times. Liz is also the author of “Chinook Crew ‘Chick’: Highs and Lows of Forces Life from the Longest Serving Female RAF Chinook Force Crew member.

Liz and Adz talk all things military from potential paths crossed in war zones, fighting, casualties and the toll and sacrifice that is sometimes the untold and hidden result of exposure to conflict and war.

Mental health is a key thing in todays society so I hope this resinates with some of you.
