This episode of the UKMotorTalk podcast is part of the international Podcasthon 2026.

Podcasthon is the world's largest podcast-based charity initiative which brings together podcasters from across the world to raise awareness of charitable causes.

As our charity, this year we have once again chosen Ben, the charity which is dedicated to supporting the people of the automotive industry, providing support for life, for them, and their family dependents.

We are joined by Ellen Plumer to tell us not just about everything that Ben can do for you and the people you know in automotive, but the fun you can have raising awareness of the charity.... Did someone say a car rally in the Pyrenees?!? And don't forget to ask Ellen about the elephants!

In this special episode, the team are joined by Chris Stradling aka Stradders.

Stradders has flown as a Navigator with the RAF for 41 years, primarily on Panavia Tornado fast jets, but more recently on the Avro Lancaster of the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

Having recently retired, we thought that now would be a good time to enjoy just some of his amazing stories, and, naturally, ask him what car he drives!
