In this episode, we speak with Bart, a retired two-star general and Harrier pilot, as he shares his incredible journey from discovering his passion for aviation through ROTC to his experiences in the Gulf War, where he was shot down and taken prisoner. Bart recounts humorous anecdotes from flight school, the challenges of flying Harriers, and the camaraderie of military life. He reflects on the impact of his service, advocacy for aviation advancements, and his transition to civilian life. This engaging conversation offers listeners a deeper appreciation for the sacrifices of military personnel and highlights Bart's humility and the remarkable stories from his career. Join us next week for further insights into Bart's journey and the tales of other aviators.
The Indian Navy is set to finalise the procurement of 26 Rafale-Marine fighter jets by the end of this financial year. Indian Navy plans to equip the indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant with these planes and develop a vital capability for the force on the maritime front.Host Dev Goswami and defence expert Shiv Aroor explore the evolution of naval fighter jets in the Indian Navy—a subject that might seem niche but is crucial to India's defence.The hosts walk through the history of India's naval aviation, starting with the acquisition of the British aircraft carrier HMS Hercules, later INS Vikrant, and the arrival of Seahawk fighter jets in 1960. Why did India switch from British to Russian aircraft, with the MiG-29K replacing the Harriers?As they discuss India's push for self-reliance, they explore the challenges of transitioning the Light Combat Aircraft to a naval variant and why the Navy prefers twin-engine fighters. They highlight future projects like the Twin Engine Deck-Based Fighter, noting its promise and challenges. How will India balance its ambitions for indigenous fighters with its current defence needs?The episode also touches on the increasing role of drones in naval operations, hinting at a future where combat drones could fly from aircraft carriers.What does the future hold for India's naval aviation?Listen in!Produced by Anna PriydarshiniSound mix by Sachin Dwivedi

Despite the nice week or two in Canterbury (noticed the Temperatures in the high twenties, this week?) there comes a time when we'll be filling the Ultra-Low Emissions Burners again. Some of our native birds will either be looking to get autumn food, while others will depart for better climates. Migration is a clever option. There are a few ways in which we can keep an eye on our birds' movements: the expensive trick is to catch birds and attach a transmitter to their body that bleeps every now and then and sends a signal to satellites indicating the longitude and latitude, time of day and speed of flight. Expensive technology, but pretty cool to work with. Our team in Canterbury, led by Peter Reese, is doing it the simple way: catch the bird (in this case a Harrier), put a standard metal band around one leg and on the other leg a much larger, coloured tag with a (three-digit) number that can be seen from quite a distance through a pair of binoculars. We re-capture some of the birds, often in the place where they were banded originally. But the clever trick is that anybody with binoculars might be able to contribute to the research. That is a rather safe way of assisting with the project. You see, Harriers have very little sense of humour. You can imagine that their strong, curved beak will be their ace attack system…Maybe. I found that they would love to smack you with their extremely sharp talons, a great scientific word for long, pointy nails. So far we have only started a year or so ago; the hypothesis is that these harriers move north when the snow starts falling in the South Island – maybe they do exactly that! But it would be nice if people could keep their eyes peeled and report tagged or banded harriers when they see one, or when they find one on the side of the road, bowled over by a car. Either fill in an online reporting form, write, email, or ring the National Banding Office (DOC). They will need to know the following details: • Band number• When the bird was found the bird (date if possible) • Where the bird was found• If the bird is colour banded, the position of each colour band (note which leg it was on and the position • The condition of the bird Seeing it'll be school holidays, it might be a good idea to get kids to observe Harriers (and other birds) and become real-life ornithologists. Or maybe just Nature Nerds!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Northern Harriers are considered one of the most elusive raptors, and some of the most accomplished wildlife photographers admit how difficult they are to photograph. Male Harriers, with their white underside and opaque gray-back plumage, seem to be even more challenging to photograph than the brown and much larger females. For that reason, many birders and photographers call male Harriers “Gray Ghosts.”. One moment they're in your viewfinder, the next, they're gone.
This weeks' episode features Dr. Alan McCarthy of BirdWatch Ireland discussing Hen Harriers, their ecology, pressures facing these birds, conservation efforts for this species, and his PhD research on this enigmatic species. Alan's PhD research focused on both breeding and wintering aspects of Hen Harrier ecology in Ireland. Among other things, his research focused on Hen Harrier diet, their winter roost characteristics, as well as satellite tracking Hen Harriers tagged as nestlings, year-round. This latter portion of Alan's work provided information on how far young Hen Harriers disperse, their survival rates, the habitats they use and the age at which they begin breeding. Alan speaks eloquently about the pressures facing Hen Harriers, particularly afforestation of upland sites. Afforestation has resulted in declines in natural prey and causes Hen Harriers significant difficulty when hunting any available prey, in comparison to open landscapes. In addition, while Hen Harriers will nest in young conifer plantations, these habitats are predator rich, and predation of Hen Harrier nests is a significant pressure in these habitat types. Intensification of agricultural land has also led to a reduction in prey abundance at these sites, placing them under significant pressure both during the breeding and wintering seasons. Niall speaks about how measures to save the Hen Harrier benefit not only other species through habitat restoration, but can also benefit local economies through job creation. Bird of the Week is the Marsh Harrier, a species which is dependent on reedbed habitat and preys on species such as Coot, Teal and Common Frogs. In recent years the Marsh Harrier has returned to Ireland as a breeding species, with a handful of pairs breeding in Ireland. Marsh Harriers, like Hen Harriers and other harrier species, use sky dancing and food passes as part of their breeding display to reinforce the pair bond. In Your Nature features Ricky Whelan, Biodiversity Officer with Offaly County Council in conversation with Niall Hatch of BirdWatch Ireland and is edited by Ann-Marie Kelly. The series is supported by Laois, Offaly, and Westmeath County Councils and the Heritage Council.

I am your host, Melissa Oliveri. In last week's episode Farfalla and James brought Elisabeth to stay with Paloma in preparation for their trip.In today's episode we read the chapter 14 – Look to the Skye, in which James and Farfalla make their way to the Isle of Skye to claim Carnifex House.Today's podcast partner is Murder Roadtrip, also members of the Boopod Network of paranormal and true crime podcasts. This podcast takes listeners on a weekly roadtrip across the US to discuss true crime and the occasional spooks through each of the 50 States. Check the show notes for a link to the Murder Roadtrip podcast.Now, it's time to settle in… grab a blanket, and a warm drink… and let's get started.August 17th, 1932I started missing Elisabeth the moment our train pulled away from the city. I thought of her the entire ride to the coast. Crossing the ocean on the ship felt absolutely endless. The waves made me queasy and unsteady on my legs even after we finally reached the shore nearly two weeks later. The train ride across the stunning landscape of mainland Scotland helped ease my woes a bit. James and I spent a romantic night in Glasgow, walking the cobblestone streets and enjoying a lovely dinner before retreating to our hotel room. The next morning, I bought a postcard at the hotel gift shop and mailed it off to Paloma, then we went to the small café across the street where we were served a proper Scottish breakfast. At noon we packed up our suitcases and headed to the station to catch a train to the coastal town of Smeòrach (SHMUR-arch).Upon our arrival we went directly to the boarding house. The owners, Mr. and Mrs. Harrier were very kind. Their daughter Callie immediately offered me a bouquet of wildflowers. Her curly auburn hair reminded me of Elisabeth's, and my mother's heart soared the rest of the day. The Harriers gave us a tour of the village, and we enjoyed dinner with them at a local pub called The Copper Hen. They explained the ferry schedule and told us old folk tales from the region that involved a myriad of mystical creatures like faeries and selkies and sirens. I went to bed with images of girls dancing on the beach with wildflower crowns in their auburn hair swirling in my head. I wonder what Elisabeth has been dreaming about.Now it is morning, and we must take the ferry. I cannot bear the thought of getting on another boat. The sickening smell of the sea makes my stomach churn. I am having some regrets about this trip. It has been wonderful for James and I to find our way back to each other again, but I didn't realize my soul would ache for Elisabeth like this, and I didn't realize the deep-rooted fear of water that is in me.I hear the sound of the ferry horn now, and the boat has shifted away from the shore. At least we have almost reached our destination, it won't be long now, only a few hours. Setting foot on the shore will bring me great relief.~~~~~~Farfalla grips the railing tightly and stares out at the endless stretch of water ahead. Crossing shouldn't take much more than an hour, only a fraction of the travel she and James have endured to get to this point. James is accustomed to traveling for work, this trip has not consumed him with worry and exhaustion the way it has for Farfalla.“The woman at the ticket counter mentioned an award-winning bakery in the village, what do you say we head there first when we reach the island?” he asks, gently rubbing his hand along her back.Farfalla turns to him and smiles. Despite her feelings about the trip itself, spending time alone with James has allowed them to rekindle their relationship. Whatever their future may hold, she is glad she will be sharing it with him, and Elisabeth, of course. “That sounds wonderful,” she whispers, leaning in for a kiss. They turn to look back out at the sea, standing side by side on the deck of the ferry as it cuts through the choppy waters. James points to a point far ahead and says “I see land, we're getting closer!” Farfalla squints, and sure enough she can see a dark mass rising out of the water straight ahead. The ferry ploughs through the water, steadily bringing them closer and closer to the island. Tall, jagged cliffs eventually come into view, rising from either side of a small port with docks reaching out of it like outstretched fingers. Farfalla feels relief wash over her, and she is stunned at the realization that deep down inside she didn't think they would actually make it. She had pushed the thought to the deepest reaches of her subconscious, but it was always there. She scans the shoreline, noting the white houses haphazardly strewn across the green fields. She sees fishing boats bobbing close to the shore, and a flock of gulls circling close to the docks, probably looking to score some food left behind by the fishermen. Her eyes travel to the base of the cliffs, and she watches the waves crash repeatedly against the rock. She lets her gaze run up the rock to the top of the cliff, and gasps as she sees a woman standing at the very edge, her arm stretched behind her as far as it will go. Recognition sets in almost immediately. It is the same woman she saw walking out of Priscilla Ponceroy's room all those years ago. The woman who looks just like her. Farfalla's eyes grow wide as the woman swings her arm forward and flings something over the cliff's edge with all her might. The sun reflects off the surface of the object as it spirals down toward the crashing waves. Farfalla instinctively grabs James' arm and points to the woman with her other hand. James, confused, looks down at Farfalla's hand, feeling the searing pain of her death grip shoot up his arm to his shoulder. He glances at her face and follows her pointing finger to look up at the cliff. He sees tall grass billowing in the breeze on top of the wall of rock. “Falla, what is it?” he asks, puzzled.“The woman- ” she begins. Just then the object hits the ocean. The water, the boat, the cliffs, the entire island, perhaps the entire world, heaves and James is ripped away her grasp. She can feel herself soaring through the air, like in slow motion. She hears the sickening crack of the boat being torn to shreds. Followed by the screams and splashing of people being thrown into the sea. The smell of burning wood fills the air, mixing with the salty scent of the sea. Her eyes focus on the blue sky above her, the wispy clouds floating overhead completely oblivious to the horror occurring below. Farfalla gasps as her body hits the icy water. She sinks below the surface before she can comprehend what is happening. Panicked, she shifts her head from side to side, looking for help. Something, someone, anyone! She regains control of her body and thrashes her arms around, battling against the undertow, trying to make her way back to the surface, but the current pulls her deeper and deeper under water, spinning her body around like a ragdoll. Finally, she feels herself sink into the sandy bottom of the sea, her arms stretched out on either side. Her fingers brush up against an object in the sand nearby, and she grasps it with what little strength she has left. She looks up toward the surface of the water and sees the sun's rays piercing their way through to caress her face. On the other side of the world, in the field in front of Meadow Lane, the Oak Tree emits a silent sound, a song that no one hears. The soundwaves carry across the ocean and plunge to its depths, wrapping themselves around Farfalla's body as her white gown and red hair float softly around her.She gives up her fight then and releases the last breath of air from her lungs with one word: “Elisabeth”. She closes her eyes, shutting out the sun, and lets the darkness fall over her. Just like in her dream.Thank you so much for listening.

Three big games remain at the top of the non league league season. The finals for the National league, national League South and National league north play-offs, to see who takes those remaining promotion spots to climb further up the pyramid. We speak this week with one manager who if he achieves promotion sees it as his biggest achievement in a short successful management career but also a fairly illustrious playing career too. Russ Penn made over 280 appearances as a player in the football league and almost the same again as a non league player and 8 England C caps and now has over 130 games a gaffer under his belt too so he's seen a fair bit of football in his time but this weekend is a big one in the National North play-off. A trip to Brackley and some 90 minutes plus add-ons, and perhaps extra time and penalties stand between them and a place back in the top tier of non league football. Rounding up the week's news this time around it's Jon Couch from the Non League Paper. Plenty on the National League play-offs, how we got here and what lies ahead this weekend, plus a managerial merry-go-round that seems impossible to keep up with and some club administration news good and bad this week and the big stories of this weekend's Non League paper.
Recientemente hablábamos en el blog de la presentación del porta-aeronaves turco TCG Anadolu, un buque con capacidad de asalto anfibio, pensado para transportar aeronaves de despegue y aterrizaje vertical (VTOL), o de despegue corto y aterrizaje vertical (STOVL), tales como helicópteros, convertiplanos, Harriers o F-35s. De hecho, este último caza era el que estaba llamado a ser la punta del Anadolu, hasta la compra del sistema ruso S-400, que hizo que USA anulara la venta del F-35 a Turquía. Y, debido a esta cancelación, el barco ha sido presentado a los medios como el primer porta-drones del mundo. Así que no nos ha quedado más remedio que invitar a nuestro colaborador ocasional Carlos González para analizarlo más en detalle. Que disfrutéis… pd: Si la intro y la despedida os son familiares, que no os sorprenda.

Marine, Author, American Hero: LtCol. W.R. Spicer USMC (ret) joins Fig & RePete this week. We delve into the extraordinary life of this Marine who has written a memoir that is nothing short of amazing. In his five books, "Sea Stories of a US Marine," Spicer shares his incredible journey, from the unlikely event that changed the course of his life to his meeting and interactions with President Kennedy. This is a slightly longer episode, but well worth the time as we hear everything from his enlistment to his days in flight school, to flying in Vietnam, being selected to fly Harriers and commanding a squadron. Hear the firsthand account of how Spicer managed to muster the courage to face enemy fire and go into a hot LZ (Landing Zone) over and over again. The title of this week's episode "What If It Was Me?" perfectly captures the essence of Spicer's bravery and selflessness. His books Sea Stories of a US Marine (5 book series) are a must-read. They're well written, funny, poignant, compelling and offer a rare glimpse for anyone who wants to gain insight into the life of a US Marine who embodies the spirit of courage and sacrifice.

Maddy is a 72-year-old runner, cyclist, mother of four, and grandmother to three. Her goal is to fight aging and show that we can do things long after we thought we couldn't. Maddy has always enjoyed being outside since she was a child. At school, she enjoyed sports and spent a lot of time swimming with her brother. Maddy has been running for more than four decades. She began running in 1977 at the age of 26. She was working for the military in a child guidance clinic in Munster, Germany. Maddy was just running for pleasure, and prioritises her children after work. She was a social worker before becoming a teacher. She joined the Harriers in the 1990s and began running seriously in 1997–98. She has competed in every imaginable race, as well as loads that no longer exist. In 2017, Maddy competed in over 30 races, winning the majority of them in her age category (V65). From 2004 to 2018, she ranked in the top 50 in the UK for her age group at distances ranging from 5K to marathon. She finished 14th among V65 women in the UK in the half marathon in 2017. Maddy also finds time to coach and support other runners, and she has helped organise local parkruns. She set up Mansfield Runners in 2012 with Sue Bellingham's help. They started it when Run England was promoting beginner's groups. It is now a RunTogether group.

Hear directly from two of the pilots who flew the Harriers you see in the 1994 Arnold Schwarzenegger / Jamie Lee Curtis hit movie True Lies. Director James Cameron had a clear idea of what he wanted. He took good care of our Marines who were there to support the filming and made sure they were treated well and had time with their families over the holidays. Buggs and Moto join us to talk about their path into tactical aviation. They relate how they became Marine pilots and their experiences on deployments around the world. Check back here soon for more photos from the set of the movie in the Florida Keys.
This week we hear how zoos are competing to count wildlife. How (thankfully) the Black Jaguar White Tiger organisation has been shut down. Then, to celebrate Hen Harrier Day, we talk hen harriers, not just as our creature feature but their significance in the grouse-moor issue. The cupboard is open, come on in!

The Vulcan has just bombed Port Stanley airfield, causing significant damage and the Argentinians on the Falklands were about to experience a wave of attacks by Sea Harriers. While this was happening, Argentina's most powerful warship the General Belgrano was steaming into the Atlantic for the last time as it turn out. To the north east, Vice-Admiral Woodward's battle group of thirteen ships had entered the exclusion zone in the early hours of the 1st May and the flight-deck crews on board the carriers were prepping the sea Harriers for the next blow. Invincible had modern radar and the smaller air group and was designated as the air-defence ship, concentrating on providing combat air patrols to fly cover for the fleet.The twelve Harriers on board Hermes were going to fly to the Falklands. The planes led by Lieutenant Commander Andy Auld of 800 squadron took off from the Hermes at first light, assembled over the fleet, then turned towards the Falklands' Coast. Balancing the fuel against the bomb payloads had been a mathematical challenge, but Woodward made this easier by bringing his carriers closer than 70 miles off the coast to give the Harriers an opportunity to carry heavier bomb loads and less fuel. The 12 flew in low and fast, three aircraft detached to attack the Goose Green Argentinian base, the rest were aiming at Stanley runway and anti-aircraft defences. About 300 nautical miles west of the Total Exclusion Zone or TEZ, and close to the Argentine coast, two British submarines were venturing in search of the enemies boats. The Royal Navy knew that they had to find these before the largest and most dangerous entered the TEZ, particularly the General Belgrano. In early April 1982 the British War Cabinet had ordered the subs to keep away from the mainland lest they sink one of the more important ships and then damage the possible negotiations that but by the end of April, Margaret Thatcher's cabinet changed their minds.

Welcome to this special series of preview podcasts to celebrate the return of the Night of the 10,000m PB's. From Monday to Friday there will be a brand new episode talking to key figures of the events past and future as we look forward to the return of the Glastonbury of Athletics on May 14th. The Big Run is proudly supported for this special Run of podcasts by Like the Wind Magazine. In today's episode, I spend time with some members of Highgate Harriers. The host of this athletic spectacular since its inception in 2013. I wanted to find out more about the event, the volunteers that make it happen and the athletes putting in the training to perform on the night. -------- With the support of Like The Wind Magazine and Select Imagery from Curated for Runners. Like the Wind is an independent journal telling stories about running. Since issue 1, Like the Wind has been published quarterly, with 31 issues under its belt. It is sold mainly through subscriptions, to readers in 40 countries. The strapline of the magazine is: it's why we run (not how to run) and so there are no product reviews, training plans or nutrition tips. Instead, Like the Wind explores topics such as the environment, social issues (like racism or gender inequality), mental health and – quite often – the simple joy of running. Like the Wind will be producing a special edition programme for Night of the 10,000m PB's for all attendees to the event on May 14th Like the Wind can be found at www.likethewindmagazine.com where people can subscribe and on Instagram and Twitter as @likethewindmag. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebigrunpodcast/message

West Ham fans around the world were heartbroken to learn of Isla Caton's passing last week as supporters from many clubs came together to pay tribute to the little princess. Her brave battle, along with her mum Nikki and the rest of Isla's family, against neuroblastoma over the past few years has captured the hearts and minds of the fanbase and produced some heartwarming and inspiring stories. Isla may no longer be with us in body, but she will stay with us in our minds and in our hearts for decades to come as her astounding legacy will outlive most of the people reading / listening to this. Will Pugh and James Jones start the show with a tribute to Super Isla and her family and send all the love and support they can. Such an incident puts life into perspective and that's what the boys cling onto in the second part of the show as they discuss West Ham's complete lack of transfer activity, who is to blame and where that leaves the club. The Hammers return to match action this weekend in the FA Cup Fourth Round away at Kidderminster Harriers, and lifelong Harriers fan Nick Haycox dials in to look ahead to the clash. The boys also reflect on a win and a defeat for the West Ham Women within the last week before saying goodbye for another week at the end of this slightly shorter episode. Thanks for listening. You can follow the podcast here: Twitter: @We Are_West Ham. Facebook: We Are West Ham podcast. Instagram: @WeAreWestHamPod The lads can be found @WilliamPugh_ and @ByJamesJones.

This episode's chat with Holly is very much a mixed bag. A game of three parts (is that a thing?) we talk about our running, then we talk about a bit of gear that we've been running in, and THEN we introduce a brand new feature in which we have a chat about an email we've had from a listener. But first, we start with some general Covid chat, because I'm bracing myself for the onslaught and it's all I can talk about. Then we move swiftly on to running, in which Holly tries to distinguish between podiatry and orthodontics – it makes more sense when you listen in (I think). We also talk about me setting up my very own run group – and I need a name for it, that's a bit better than Esther's Harriers. Answers on a postcard please! Kit-wise, we talk through the very best bras and leggings we've been running in – great ideas for Christmas presents here.And starting from this episode we wanted to include you a bit more – so we're discussing an email we got in from a lovely listener based in New Zealand, who tells us about what running means to her. She also tells us how lovely the podcast is, and that seriously influenced our choice of email. Just saying.You can get in touch with us and let us know what you think, or if you have any running questions – if we can't answer them, I'll get an expert to help us out.More information about Crohn's and Colitis right here.Please rate and review us on Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts – these reviews mean the WORLD to us, and really help us to keep this podcast going. And as we're firm friends now, so I think you should join us. If you become a member of Women's Running right now, you'll get a FREE base layer from Zerofit, worth £40.
