The UK has some of the most congested airspace in the world. Ensuring military and civilian aircraft don't get in the way of each other is just one the reasons why 78 Squadron is co-located at National Air Traffic Services (NATS). Flight Lieutenant Chris Sully went to the air traffic control centre in Swanwick, to hear about the 'swivel chair interaction' that keeps jet setting holiday makers a safe distance from military aviators.

In this episode of the Pre-hospital Care Podcast, we explore a cutting-edge innovation that's transforming how HEMS clinicians are trained for high-stakes, life-saving procedures, such as thoracotomy, resuscitative hysterotomy, and other HALO interventions. We're joined by Jamie, founder of Maxres, and Lily, a Critical Care Doctor, to discuss how immersive headset training is being introduced into clinical education, starting with the Thames Valley Air Ambulance.Jamie brings a unique perspective from his time as a pilot and helicopter flight instructor in the Royal Air Force, where he experienced first-hand the value of scenario-based, immersive learning. Combined with Lily's background as a prehospital critical care doctor, their expertise is helping shape a new frontier in clinical preparedness for the most complex and time-critical interventions.Together, we unpack how the MaxRes system works, the science behind its development, and the real-world impact it's having on clinical performance, confidence, and decision-making. We also look to the future, exploring how this technology could revolutionise pre-hospital education, expand into new clinical domains, and deliver highly realistic, repeatable, and effective training experiences.Whether you're a critical care paramedic, HEMS doctor, educator, or healthcare innovator, this episode offers an exciting look at where pre-hospital training is heading and how technology developed for the skies is now making a difference on the ground.

Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present skeptical UFO researcher John Keeling, author of "LANDED! The Great British Flying Saucer Hoax & Other Extraterrestrial Spoofs." It asks some important questions: What would we do if aliens landed? Would we offer greetings? Would we panic? Or would we shoot to kill? In 1967, a maverick group of British students wanted to know. As apprentices at Farnborough's prestigious Royal Aircraft Establishment, they hatched an ingenious and audacious plot to test the authorities; landing multiple flying saucers across the width of England. Not only would "The Great Flying Saucer Hoax" challenge the Police, the Royal Air Force, the Army, and numerous government ministries, it also confronted Ufologists with the scenario they continuously prophesize (and claim to be prepared for). John's book also chronicles many other instances of extraterrestrial spoofing, to examine what such incidents might tell us about our hopes and fears of potential contact. After years of research, John does not embrace the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the phenomenon. John has written for The Fortean Times, and in addition to creating social media content for the East Anglian Astrophysical Research Organisation's proposed UK SETI project, is completing his next book. He lives on the Essex coast, close to his two daughters.

Air Vice Marshal Gary Waterfall, a retired senior officer of the Royal Air Force, discusses the desperate need to ensure domestic defence is able to keep up with the advancements of technology, the surprising parallels of a career in the military and a career as an entrepreneur and the historical links between the military and the development of technology.   Waterfall discusses the recent focus of the government on investing in advanced defence technology in the context of global threats across the world. 

This episode delves into the high-stakes planning behind Operation Sea Lion, exploring how German military strategists grappled with the immense challenges of invading Britain in 1940. As the Luftwaffe battled for air superiority, the planners faced a critical dilemma: balancing the necessity of an invasion with the uncertain feasibility of achieving the required dominance over the Royal Air Force. Tensions mounted between the German Army and Navy staffs, who had to navigate logistical, tactical, and strategic uncertainties within a tight window of just a few months. With the fate of the invasion hinging on a single, precarious condition—air superiority—the episode reveals the complexity and risks of one of WWII's most pivotal decisions.

Our host, Lewis Quarmby speaks to Royal Air Force veteran, Carl Austin-Behan, about his lived experience of the ban on LGBT personnel in the armed forces. They were joined by Peter Gibson, Chief Executive of Fighting With Pride, and Sarah Jones from our employee network IM Equal. On 12 December 2024, the LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme made recognition payments available to those who served in the Armed Forces between 27 July 1967 and 11 January 2000 and were affected by the ban. The deadline for applications is 12 December 2026. If you don't apply in time you'll lose your right to a payment under the scheme. Together our guests discussed:The impact of the LGBT ban and the support that's available to those who were affected by it.Whether the Financial Recognition Scheme goes far enough.The potential pitfalls of making an application under the scheme and the importance of seeking legal advice.Where to get support to make an application, including support for elderly claimants and those who lack capacity.Drawing on their personal experiences, they shared touching stories and lots of useful information to help those seeking to apply for a recognition payment. The discussion contains references to themes that some individuals may find distressing. If you were impacted by the ban, our expert Military team is here to help you navigate the Financial Recognition Scheme. Further support and resources are available from the LGBT+ Veterans charity, Fighting With Pride.

As the Soviets were fighting the Germans all along a 1000 mile long front, they were demanding that the Allies in the west do something to open a second front against the Germans.  We'll get to the Allies eventual response to this in a couple of episodes, but the western allies had the same problem invading Europe that the Germans had had when they were thinking about invading Britain.  That problem was the English Channel.  In order to send an invasion fleet across the channel to land in France, the Allies had to have complete control of the air above the channel, to protect the invasion fleet from German planes.  So before the sea-borne invasion could take place, the Allies needed to defeat the Luftwaffe, or at least drive them back from their bases in France where they could attack an invasion fleet.  So the Allies started building up their air forces in Great Britain. The Royal Air Force, which had done such a heroic job of defeating the Luftwaffe in the Battle of Britain, had continued to build up its fighter and bomber forces.  But early 1942, they were joined by the newly formed American group, the Eighth Air Force.  The Americans began to ship men, planes, bombs and ammo, and fuel to Great Britain.  By the end of the war, the Americans are going to have over 200 airbases in Great Britain, with over half a million men on those bases, and over 50,000 planes. 

Fortællingen om briten Tony Crook er samtidig en central del af historien om et af de mest eksklusive bilmærker i engelsk bilhistorie – Bristol Cars. Men først skal Tony selvfølgelig fødes, og han er så klog, at han vælger at lade det ske i en kulminefamilie i 1920. Heldigvis hos dem, der ejer kulminen, ikke dem, som render rundt nede under jorden og generelt nok ikke havde det helt så sjovt.  Som en således velsitueret ung mand må han naturligvis køre væddeløb. Og har vist også ret meget held med det, og køber sig en BMW 328. I Anden Verdenskrig bliver han pilot i Royal Air Force og flyver Bristol flyvemaskiner. I 1955 indstiller han væddeløbskarrieren efter et uheldigt møde med Stirling Moss og dennes Porsche – og helliger sig sin bilforretning, hvor han blandt mange andre ting er eneforhandler af Bristol. Senere igen bliver han endda eneejer af Bristol Cars. Herfra starter Tony sin heroiske og prisværdige kamp for at holde fast i de klassiske bildyder. Forbeholdt gentlemen, oftest af ædelbyrd, der værdsætter, og har råd itl en håndbygget bil på Chassiramme med håndbanket karrosseri (ja, efter Superleggera-metoden) og generel uvilje mod at følge med tiden. Hvilket naturligvis gør, at en Bristol – stort set uanset model – ikke kan være andet end det ultimative køretøj for en ægte bilsnob. Det mener i alle fald især den ene af denne udgaves værter, Stefan Kaas, der allerede nu ser frem til at nyde pensionisttilværelsen i en Bristol Blenheim. Det er selv om den objektivt set ligner den uheldige bror til en Ford Capri og Escort. Og panelgabene øjensynligt kan ses fra månen. Du får som vanligt forholdsvis mange kloge ting med i dette afsnit af Bilsnobbernes auditive bilencyklopædi – podcasten, der lærer dig at tale med, når snakken omkring middagsbordet falder på Tom Tjaarda, Jean Daninos og nu altså også de kompromisløse frembringelser fra Bristol Cars.

Storbritannien stod ensamt kvar mot Nazityskland efter Frankrikes fall. Adolf Hitler ville egentligen ha fred med Storbritannien, men britterna och premiärminister Winston Churchill valde att fortsätta kämpa.För att kunna invadera Storbritannien behövde Luftwaffe först besegra Royal Air Force (RAF) och etablera luftherravälde. Under flera månader kämpade brittiska jaktflygare i Spitfires och Hurricanes mot det numerärt överlägsna Luftwaffe. Trots svåra förluster lyckades RAF stå emot, och när hösten anlände stod det klart att Tyskland hade misslyckats med att krossa det brittiska försvaret.Detta är det femte avsnittet i en serie av sju om andra världskriget från podden Historia Nu. Programledaren Urban Lindstedt samtalar med Martin Hårdstedt, professor i historia, om Slaget om Storbritannien 1940.Slaget om Storbritannien blev en vändpunkt i andra världskriget. När Frankrike kapitulerade den 22 juni 1940 blev Storbritanniens situation kritisk. Landet stod nu ensamt, med en krigsmakt som var försvagad efter evakueringen vid Dunkerque. De brittiska styrkorna hade förlorat stora mängder tung materiel, inklusive stridsvagnar, artilleri och transportfordon.Churchills beslutsamhet blev avgörande för Storbritanniens motstånd. Trots att vissa inom regeringen, inklusive utrikesminister Lord Halifax, övervägde en fredsuppgörelse, stod Churchill fast vid sin linje. Han ansåg att fred med Hitler endast skulle vara en kortsiktig lösning som på sikt skulle leda till att Storbritannien tvingades leva under Nazitysklands dominans. Hans beslutsamhet stärkte den brittiska moralen och bidrog till att landet stod emot trycket från Tyskland.Tysklands invasionsplan, Operation Seelöwe, byggde på att Hermann Görings Luftwaffe först behövde besegra RAF och neutralisera den brittiska flottan genom flyganfall. Planen var ambitiös men riskabel – transportfartygen var långsamma och sårbara, och utan luftherravälde skulle de bli lätta mål för brittiska bombflyg och örlogsfartyg.Luftwaffes inledande offensiv började i juli 1940 med attacker mot brittiska hamnar och fartyg i Engelska kanalen. Dessa anfall syftade till att locka ut RAF:s jaktflyg och försvaga det brittiska försvaret innan den stora offensiven tog vid. I augusti gick tyskarna vidare till nästa fas: systematiska anfall mot RAF:s flygbaser, radarsystem och logistik. Under dessa veckor var RAF hårt pressat och förlorade många flygplan och piloter. Trots detta lyckades britterna hålla sina radaranläggningar intakta, vilket var avgörande för att kunna förutse de tyska anfallen.Bild: En formation av Supermarine Spitfire Mk I från No. 610 Squadron, baserad på Biggin Hill, under ett uppdrag den 24 juli 1940.

Ahlers "Wir fahren gegen Engeland" är en tysk marschsång från andra världskriget, känd för sin användning i propagandasyfte. Sången skrevs 1939 av Herms Niel, en av de mest produktiva kompositörerna av tysk marschmusik under det nazistiska Tredje riket. Den användes i samband med Tysklands planer på en invasion av Storbritannien, Operation Seelöwe, men blev även en del av den bredare propagandakulturen inom Wehrmacht.

Besættelsestidens største enkeltstående tragedie skete, da Royal Air Force den 21. marts 1945 fejlbombede den franske katolske pigeskole – Jeanne D’ Arc-Skolen – på Frederiksberg. 86 børn og mere end 20 voksne mistede livet ved denne katastrofe, som rystede en ellers krigsvandt samtid. I timerne efter bombningen kæmpede nonner, redningsfolk, fædre og tililende forbipasserende en kamp mod tiden, flammerne og under livsfarlige forhold for at redde hundredvis af overlevende ud af den ødelagte skole, hvor børn og lærere var indespærrede i kældre eller lå begravede i murbrokker under sammenstyrtede trapper. Tragedien denne dag kom i årene efter også til at påvirke både overlevendes og deres pårørendes tilværelse helt op til vores tid, hvor 80-årsdagen for katastrofen for nyligt blev markeret I programmet medvirker forfatter og filminstruktør Martin Sundstrøm, der i en ny bog ”Katastrofen på den franske skole” fortæller historien som den blev oplevet af børn, nonner og redningsfolk.Vært: Jarl CorduaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 1940, for 113 harrowing days, Nazi Germany's Luftwaffe unleashed relentless attacks on Great Britain, aiming to secure an early victory in World War II. The defence of southern England fell to the brave pilots of the Royal Air Force, joined in their hour of need by over 100 Canadian airmen. These men, hailing from all walks of life—some from prominent families, others fresh off the farm—served with distinction in 47 different Battle of Britain squadrons. In this episode, Ted Barris, author of Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in their Finest Hour, joins me to explore their incredible contributions during this pivotal chapter of the war.   patreon.com/ww2podcast
