Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Paul from the Layovers Podcast for
this week's episode of the Number One UK Aviation Podcast,
PTUK!
In this week's show we say a fond farewell to BA's last two Boeing
747's "but there may be good news", The A220 turns into the next
new biz jet, and a woman is caught trying to take rather a lot of
money into Dubai.
In the military news Russia's new fighter jet goes topless, Canada
receives their first CC-295 Kingfisher Search and Rescue Aircraft
and we have some exciting Red Arrows news.
We also learn more about Dan Holley's love of storm chasing in part
2 of Captain Al and Matt's chat with him. Chris Marsh shares with
us his thoughts on Aviation in his life.
