Flaps Podcast - June 2012 by Flaps Podcast published on 2012-06-25T23:38:04Z In this edition we speak to Jonathan Mitchell and David Jones, the two pilots who broke the round Britain aviation record over the Jubilee weekend. They’re based at Derby Aero Club and they’ve raised thousands for Fly2Help. Celebrity Pilot is actor, comedian, Papal Knight, and former Crackerjack presenter Don Maclean. In Mason’s Minute, Pablo Mason talks about radio failure: what to do, and what he did when a radio failed on him. And we bring our report from AeroExpo 2012. We spent the (glorious) Friday there and spoke to a good number of exhibitors and participants, including Tim Orchard of Tecnam UK and Fly on Track’s Irv Lee. Any feedback is welcome. We’d really appreciate it if you “liked” us on Facebook and if you’d also rate us on iTunes. So here’s the running order for this one. I’ve said before that we try to aim for 30 minutes, but as we’ve been AWOL for a couple of months we’ve allowed ourselves some room to breathe. This is the longest Flaps yet, coming in at 48 minutes. In the next day or two I’ll try and make a shorter, more wife-friendly edit for you! 0.00 Introduction 1.46 Celebrity Pilot Don Maclean 12.11 Record-breaking pilots Jonathan Mitchell and David Jones 26.00 Mason’s Minute – Radio failure 29.46 AeroExpo 2012 report, including 30.19 Show Organiser Alex Ayling 31.30 Fly on Track’s Irv Lee 37.01 Tim Orchard, MD of Tecnam UK 40.21 The Classic Aircraft Trust’s David Blackburn 44.40 Sebastian Pooley, MD of Pooleys 46.26 and finally – a boat! 47.26 Wrap up this edition Duration: 47.57 Genre Aviation Comment by Sm2daitty cool! 2012-09-17T22:52:08Z Comment by Haushed Music nice talking.. ;-) 2012-06-26T20:42:13Z
