Xtended

Xtended returns to RNAS Yeovilton for this special episode on the Royal Navy International Air Day 2019.

For 100 years of transatlantic travel, #BA100 and the fiftieth anniversary of the Boeing 747, this episode is based around a classic interview with Captain Hugh Dibley FraeS.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Xtended and this time we are talking air to air refuelling with hugely experienced USAF tanker pilot Mark Hasara.

This episode features two role models in the aviation sector.

Gurbir Singh joins Tim and Pieter to discuss the history and current missions of the Indian Space Agency.

In a brand new interview for Xtended, former Chief of the Air Staff Sir Richard Johns CBE joins us to give a real insight into flight operations, the strategic defence reductions and inter-service rivalry. This is a fascinating and frank interview.

It's a bumper news episode as Gareth, Pieter and Tim discuss the latest headlines in the military, civilian and space sectors.

We go behind the scenes of the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance to see how it operates and the challenges it faces as an emergency service run by a charity.

We revisit some of our previous World War Two era restoration features to see how they have progressed and where they are on the journey to completion.

We are joined by pilot and TV presenter Arthur Williams to talk about his new Channel 4 television programme 'Flying Across Britain', a journey he carries out in a wonderful Piper Cub.
