I left you last time after we had returned with our Hornets from New Zealand having had a very productive and interesting few weeks working with the Kiwi A4 Skyhawks. We soon settled back into our Squadron HQ at RAAF Williamtown and started to work up some Maritime Strike tactics against the ships of the Australian Navy. These were early days for the Australian Hornets and the anti ship missiles that were to be purchased had yet to be properly integrated into the aircraft's weapons system... and so continues the Tales from the Old Pilot's Log Books. The Hornets mix it with the Navy! It was the P3 Orion's job to find the ships and broadcast their positions The RAAF had yet to equip their F18s with anti ship missiles but that didn't stop us training We flew affiliation sorties against the RAAF Caribous so I got the chance to observe from the other side of the engagement Called in from leave to fly an engine air test I did so with my holiday beard still attached! The rake of the Hornet seat didn't suit my back leading to a nagging problem On our way to Malaysia we staged through Bali At RMAF Butterworth we stayed in the beautiful old RAF Mess And could frequently be found in the Hong Kong Bar Back home in Australia I started to suffer from vertigo and wondered if the dream had come to an end
Smoke billowed into the cab as Aaron regained his wits and found himself hanging upside down from his seatbelt. The smell of diesel that fueled the rapidly spreading flames also fueled his adrenaline to find some way out of a truck that was seconds away from being his coffin. When he couldn't find his hammer, he grabbed his oversized thermos and swung away. He smashed his way out through the windshield and crawled away to safety. Just moments before, Aaron had been thinking about how beautiful and quiet a night it was on the open roads between Tulsa and Texas. But, it all changed in an instant when a man with a death wish barrelled into the side of Aaron's truck and almost took him to the grave as well. It was a moment that forever changed today's guest and taught him precious lessons on the value of life, safety, and concentration. We're honored to hear his story and glean his wisdom on this episode of the #SixFigureTrucker.Show Notes:Welcoming Norton's Driver development manager, Aaron Smith (1:10)Cooking the [Log] Books (3:22)Aaron shares a chilling story that changed his life (5:00)No BS!

We are diving into some Queer History this week with the incredible Logbook Podcast host, Tash Walker. Switchboard started in 1974 off the back off the part decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. The Gay Liberation Front set up Gay News...which set up a phone line (Switchboard) to deal with the ever-increasing calls from the LGBTQ+ community. Tash came across 'The Logbooks' whilst rummaging through some unopened boxes at Switchboard and discovered the 1974 hand written notes from the volunteers , documenting the calls they were taking. It serves as a unique handwritten diary of LGBTQ+ issues from the 1970s and a snapshot of British queer history. Tash now co-hosts the LogBook podcast and brings us on a fascinating, emotional journey which must be listened to. Make sure you follow and subscribe so you never miss an episode, and of course, give us a cheeky five-star rating.

Graeme catches up with the chair of SWITCHBOARD and host of The Log Books podcast, Natasha Walker for the start of LGBT history month. The Log Books are an award-winning history of LGBTQ+ life in Britain as noted by volunteers at Switchboard. As a helpline for anyone who wants to talk about gender identity and sexuality, Switchboard has been hearing about, and helping, queer life since 1974. Now held in the archive at the Bishopsgate Institute, the volunteers' log books offer a unique insight into the range of issues facing LGBTQ+ people in Britain in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Stories range from police entrapping gay men meeting for sex in toilets, to women losing custody of their children for being lesbians, to people kicked out of pubs for wearing pro-gay badges and to those struggling with their gender identity before anyone had the right language to help them. The log books laugh and cry with the real lives of runaways and disco-dancers, with isolated fishermen phoning to chat and people unsure about how to have sex. The logbooks podcast is an award winning project showcasing the UK's untold LGBTQ+ history and Natasha is cohost and Producer. Here she chat's about the Logbooks, giving us an insight into the UK's social history that isn't often seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/outcastuk/message

In the 90s, if two men had sex and one was under 21, both could be imprisoned, while straight people could legally have sex at age 16. This inequality could not last, and that's thanks to campaigners such as Hugo Greenhalgh and Euan Sutherland, supported by Stonewall. This is the story of their campaign to equalise the law, and of the Switchboard volunteers who helped.

June is Pride month, so this week we're featuring podcasts about, by and for the LGBT community. Featuring: Making Gay History, Greenhouse, The Log Books, Chosen Family, Nancy
This week, I'm talking queer podcasting with Tash Walker, Adam Smith and Shivani Dave, the team behind The Log Books, the niche podcast carved from real stories from Switchboard, the second- oldest LGBT+ telephone helpline in the UK which first opened in 1974. And it only went and won Best New Podcast award at the British Podcast Awards in 2020 -although none of us knew that at the time of recording.
News! We're making season three of The Log Books because we've received a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. While you wait, here's an episode of Call Me Mother, another podcast, featuring an interview with Sandra Caldwell, a 67-year-old actor who was forced to hide part of herself for 40 years. We loved hearing Sandra tell her story to Shon Faye, with such warmth and wisdom, and we think you will too. We'll be back with the third season of The Log Books later in 2021... See you soon.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thelogbooks. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Whilst we work to bring you more episodes of Call Me Mother, we thought you'd enjoy this taster of another excellent series on queer history - The Log Books. In this episode, the team examine the AIDS epidemic through the calls made to an LGBT+ helpline Switchboard.

After a gay bookshop was raided by customs officers in 1984, the booksellers fought back. This is the story of censorship and community solidarity, and it is not the only one in this episode. Tash and Adam explore the actions of the British state to stop people from seeing things that were considered obscene in the 80s. We also feature a story from people whose magazines and posters were seized, and Adam even sings a song.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

So in this episode Tash and Adam hear some of those stories and ask volunteers from the time to share their experience of supporting survivors.

In 1988 the British government passed explicitly anti-gay legislation. Through log book entries from Switchboard, Tash and Adam return to the scene: lawmakers spaffing about what constitutes a family, gay teachers zipping up and living in fear, and bewildered young people with seemingly nowhere to turn to for advice. This episode is filled with untold stories about Section 28 of the Local Government Act and the censorship of LGBTQ+ lives — and concludes with the joyous launch of a new kids' book by Olly Pike called Kenny Lives With Erica and Martina.Content warning: attacks on LGBTQ+ people, including language that some people may find offensive.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

Every time anything to do with LGBTQ+ life was mentioned on TV or in the newspaper in the 80s, Switchboard volunteers took extra calls. In this episode, Tash and Adam speak to the people behind TV programmes and newspaper columns, and hear about the feverish atmosphere that led to anti-gay legislation in 1988. The section on today has two very special guests: our very own Shivani Dave, and Simon McCallum from the BFI National Archive, both comparing the media today with 1983 to 1991.Content warning: some archaic language that some listeners may find offensive as our contributors discuss how language was used to attack people especially in the media.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

Bottling attacks and cruel newspaper editorials — this is the story of how the HIV/AIDS crisis hit the LGBTQ+ community in the 80s.

This is the story of the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic as it has never been told before: through the voices and notes of the people who took phone calls made to an LGBTQ+ helpline. From 1983 to 1991, Switchboard volunteers supported people living with HIV, their loved ones, and people scared of it. In the first of three special episodes that start Season Two of The Log Books, Tash and Adam hear from survivors, a nurse and a doctor, and the people who were among the first to tackle what became a crisis.Content warning: Illness, death, and ill-treatment and discrimination of people living with HIV and AIDS.The Log Books — stories from Britain's LGBT+ history and conversations about being queer today.

This week co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto discuss the Star Trek Log series of books by Alan Dean Foster. They were adaptations of the animated series episodes. Foster wrote these adaptation from 1974 to 1978. There were three episodes per book in the first six books. That means Foster filled in a lot of detail that never appeared in The Animated Series. It's this aspect of the Log books that makes these books so fun to read. In the last four books of the Log series, Foster was assigned the job of taking one 22-minute episode and making it into a novel-length story. He did this by really writing two stories that connected at the end. After The Animated Series left the air in 1974, there was no new Trek until 1979. Foster's Log series, along with the James Blish novelizations, gave Star Trek fans something to look forward to as they hoped for something new to get produced.
