In today's episode there's talk of mass lay-offs at Gatwick as passenger numbers plummet, law suits and unexpected quarantines make for a difficult week at EasyJet and someone is trying to make carbon free aviation fuel using Ammonia.

In the military plane spotters at Fairford are warned by the police and there's sad news coming out of Duxford involving the Flying Legends.
