Join the hosts as they take you through all the news from around the world and across the UK.  In this week's show, we have an update on the pilot that crashed the Hawker Hunter at the Shoreham airshow back in 2015, Southwest Airlines says goodbye To Its 'Bags Fly Free' policy and an Air India flight returns to Chicago after a passenger clogs a toilet with clothes and a blanket. Still, saves on loo roll I suppose, albeit a somewhat industrial way of going about things!    In the military, we look at an article that claims that insufficient pilot resource is nonsense as all operations have enough aircrew according to the RAF, and US air force B52 bombers fly close to the Russian border for their latest mission out of RAF Fairford.

"Reconciliation happens when my enemy tells me my story and I am able to say: ‘That is my story" - Stanley Hauerwas. 11 September 1973. Military forces attack La Moneda Palace, the Hawker Hunter plane launches rockets that hit the main wings of the building, fire echoes through the streets of Santiago, the body of President Salvador Allende is found. Fear begins to spread across the country. 50 years have passed since the coup d'état in Chile, which began the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet that lasted 17 years and left more than 40,000 victims. In this episode, Dr Vinicius De Carvalho talks to Francisco Lobo, Chilean lawyer and PhD candidate at the Department of War Studies, about the violation of human rights, the strides made in transitional justice and international accountability, and how the dictatorship continues to permeate Chile's fragmented identity.

En 1996, lorsque le 1er Wing de chasse de la Force aérienne belge est dissous, c'est sans doute l'une des plus glorieuses pages de notre histoire militaire qui se tourne. Etabli à Beauvechain aux lendemains de la seconde Guerre mondiale, le 1er Wing était le pivot de la défense aérienne du territoire. Cette unité d'élite vouée à l'interception pure sera toujours équipée des meilleurs avions, comme le Gloster Meteor, le Hawker Hunter ou, plus tard le F104 et le F16. Quant à ses traditions, le 1er Wing les tirait des exploits de deux fameuses escadrilles belges de la RAF qui en avaient formé le noyau en 1946. Le 1st Wing Historical Centre, opéré par une asbl dans laquelle beaucoup d'anciens de la Force aérienne perpétuent leur amour de l'aviation, abrite naturellement de nombreux appareils de ces époques. On y trouve même des machines inattendues, comme un MIG21 aux couleurs de l'Allemagne de l'Est. On y trouve aussi un C130 de l'Armée belge, qui, au printemps dernier, a effectué son tout dernier atterrissage à Beauvechain. Cet avion de transport mythique – qui bien entendu n'a jamais fait partie du 1er Wing de chasse – constitue aujourd'hui l'une des attractions majeures de ce véritable musée de l'aviation militaire belge qui ne dit pas son nom. 1st Wing Historical Centre Base Lt Col Avi Charles Roman Rue Longue, 1320 Beauvechain

This week's special guest created his own legendary moment in April 1968, when he flew his Hawker Hunter fighter jet through Tower Bridge in London. Flt Lt Alan Pollock of No1 Sqn RAF, was incensed that as defence cuts bit ever harder, the RAF was denied a flypast to mark its 50th anniversary. So Pollock decided to let the Government of the day know just how he, and many others felt, by buzzing Westminster before heading off down the Thames at zero feet and about 400 miles an hour. It’s an extraordinary story, and his various capers during his time with the RAF are the stuff of legend. Needless to say Alan is a most engaging character.

Every so often our imaginations are fired by someone doing something extraordinary, something so audacious that it’s cemented into folklore. Our latest podcast, ‘Aviation’s Most Audacious Feats’ touches on some of the most outrageous escapades ever to unfold, from the fearless wingwalker of the 1920s who changed an aircraft’s wheel in mid-air, to the brilliant and heroic life-saving exploits of a Royal Navy helicopter crew in the Falklands Conflict. Some of the stories had us spellbound, while others had us rolling around with laughter. Our special guest managed to do both those things, by telling us how he created his own legendary moment in April 1968, when he flew his Hawker Hunter fighter jet through Tower Bridge in London. Flt Lt Alan Pollock of No1 Sqn RAF, was incensed that as defence cuts bit ever harder, the RAF was denied a flypast to mark its 50th anniversary. So Pollock decided to let the Government of the day know just how he, and many others felt, by buzzing Westminster before heading off down the Thames at zero feet and about 400 miles an hour. It’s an extraordinary story, and his various capers during his time with the RAF are the stuff of legend. Needless to say Alan is a most engaging character. This episode runs a little longer than usual, but we hope you’ll forgive us, it’s just that the stories were too good to cut. So be amazed and be amused in equal measure. And remember Alan Pollock’s full interview will be available a week after our main episode drops.

If a pilot fails to attain set parameters, as demonstrated by Andy Hill at the Shoreham Airshow in 2015, catastrophe awaits. Mr Hill was flying a Hawker Hunter jet when it crashed into a dual carriageway killing 11 people. In court a verdict of not guilty to the charge of Manslaughter by Gross Negligence was found by the jury.We can all learn from the need to have parameters in our own lives, to plan ahead and to give ourselves boundaries.In this video I talk about the importance of parameters, why pilots adhere to them, the verdict itself and what the defence's claim of 'cognitive impairment' actually means. I also cover my own experiences of cognitive impairment and those of a friend of mine who died in a fatal crash in 2011 and the subsequent investigation into his death.

We also debunk cliché Hollywood stereotypes while discussing what a fighter pilot decidedly is not.
