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.

Mar 28, 2021

Join Armando, Carlos, Matt and Nev for this week's programme.

In this week's show fights break out on a United Airlines flight and it's nothing to do with Brian Coleman, one airline receives a 5 Star Covid rating and a certain airline sells rather a lot of airline meals.

In the military, lots of planes are falling apart all over the sky with pilots ejecting left right & centre , and a F35 shoots itself in the foot, and Cambridge's Marshall Aerospace is expecting some changes in the near future regarding its C-130J contracts.

In the Plane Truths we're learning about Plane Evacuations and it's the final part in our series where Captain Nick talks to George Lee MBE about his incredible career.
