Plane Talking UK's Podcast


Carlos, Nev, Armando and Matt bring you a weekly Podcast that will focus on the Commercial and Military Aviation news relating to us long suffering members of the general public.

May 19, 2019

Join Carlos, Nev and Armando for today's show.

In this week's programme we learn how one UK holiday operator has received multiple bids for it's airline business, our legacy carrier announces their first route for their new A350 and there's good news for chicken lovers as an airline announces their favourite brand can be enjoyed 'in-flight'.

In the military, Armando chats to the crew of a very special WC-130J.

The PSP / APG / PTUK Duxford meetup took place on Sunday 12th May. The weather was amazing and we had a quick chat with a lovely, very sunburnt group.
