Send us a textIf large open-air events or air shows are your thing, you'll love this episode. In today's podcast, I chat with Simon Hough, Head of Commercial Activities and Hospitality at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT), the largest military airshow in the world. We chat about the event and everything that goes into its creation across the year, including the logistical challenge of dealing with 253 aircraft coming into a single location for a week and the event's importance to the RAF and the wider aerospace industry. We also talk about Simon's role and how he went from managing events and concerts in England for Forestry England to RIAT in 2023. RIAT, which takes place in the Cotswolds every July, is the largest public engagement event for the RAF. With so many aircraft on display from 25 different countries, 43 nations represented and over 150,000 people visiting over four days, this is a very important international event in the West of England, where aerospace is a key industry. This event has a massive £4m impact on the local economy each year and gives away £2m annually to support outreach in STEM subject learning across the country.

As winter hits hard and we weather enough storms with names to crew an Avro Lancaster, Gini and Jamie take a look back on (marginally) sunnier times and climes in this RIAT retrospective. Gini was at the Royal International Air Tattoo in July with a microphone and a mission: chat to as many pilots as possible. She caught up with aircrew of the B52, the F15, the “Weatherbird” WC130-J, and loads more; even the elusive Lockheed U-2.

Which is best, Chinook or Typhoon? That's the question we asked the Chinook and Typhoon display pilots at the Royal International Air Tattoo. We also take a look inside the Techno Tent to hear about STEM from astronaut Major Tim Peake and former Tornado pilot, Mandy Hickson.

Airpower is everywhere in this week's Air Power podcast, powered by GE Aerospace. Vago reports from the Air Chiefs' Conference and Royal International Air Tattoo in England, including a discussion with former Air Marshal Greg Bagwell about the major issues. And he also speaks with brigadier general Marc LaBouil of the French air and space forces, who is leading a remarkable French deployment to Asia. Of course, there are the weeks headlines in airpower. And we apologize for some audio variability; we were both on the road this week, so it may not sound quite as smooth as usual – but the information is there and it's good!
This edition features stories on nuclear inspectors ensuring standards, the Royal International Air Tattoo show, firefighter training for Iraqis and Germans and Americans playing in a golf tournament in Germany. Hosted by Master Sgt. Shawn Sprayberry.
A special episode of the podcast recorded at the Royal International Air Tattoo 2022, at RAF Fairford. As aircraft soar overhead a busy Techno Zone and Inspire Stage, we hear from many of the exhibitors who pitched up for the event, including ejector seat manufacturers Martin Baker, the aerospace division of Rolls Royce, and a glider pilot whose hobby sounds both frightening and incredible in equal measure. We also meet Justine Morton OBE, Director of the Royal Air Force Charitable Trust, who gives us a glimpse into the history of RIAT, and tells us about her fascinating career path. Mark and George from the Civil Aviation Authority join the mix, before we chat to Haydn Jakes who was awarded an MBE for his achievements as an aircraft engineering apprentice. In keeping with the rest of the series, we hear from some of the university teams tasked with turning the winning ideas from the ‘If You Were An Engineer' competition into working prototypes. We're joined by Andrew Firth from Edinburgh University, and Tim Woolman from the University of Southampton. And, as always, we share the engineering ideas of children - this time with thanks to the Brownies. If you have an answer to our problem send your thoughts to info@leadersaward.com or comment on Twitter @Leadersaward. This week it comes from George at the Civil Aviation Authority: “How can we reduce the noise footprint, both in the aircraft and outside of the aircraft, especially for the people on the ground?” Your host is Ollie Guillou.

It's airshow season!The sight and sound of stunning air displays and incredible aerobatic performances by some of the world's best pilots is hard to beat.But with Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) just a week away, what does it take to plan, manage and safely deliver a truly spectacular airshow? How does the role of the air traffic controllers at a display differ from the day job?The tower at RIAT is made up of volunteer controllers from all over the UK who work incredibly hard to make the show a safe and exciting experience for the thousands who attend, but that work starts long before the doors open to the public.In this month's episode of Altitude we welcome two guests - Heathrow air traffic controllers by day who have also worked at some of the world's busiest and biggest airshows.
This episode we go far back in time to a cold war era aircraft that looks crazy but flew amazingly. We hear about the aircraft that could fly low, fold its wings, land on ships, and carried the ultimate weapon. Group Captain (Retired) Chaz Kennett shares his stories of riding backseat of the mighty Blackburn Buccaneer. Gini and Alex also share their love of air shows, and stories from some of their favourites, including Duxford and The Royal International Air Tattoo. This is an original podcast series from BFBS. Written, presented and produced by Gini Carlin and Alex Gill Email us mavgeeks@bfbs.com
In this episode I was joined by Lt Marko Novkovic, number 6 in the Croatian Krila Oluje - ‘Wings of Storm'. Tragically, two weeks after our interview, Marko was killed in a training accident, unrelated to the aerobatic team. This jovial and enthusiastic conversation is now recorded as a summary of Marko's background and achievements. The Krila Oluje is the Croatian National Aerobatic Display Team. Formed in July 2004 used the Pilatus PC9 aircraft, the team are based at 93rd Military base, near Zadar.In 2009 they increased the team to a 6-ship display team, thus adding more complex manoeuvres and a synchro pair to add to the excitement. The team have flown in various international airshow events and have won several awards including, the Royal International Air Tattoo award for best display team during 2016.Rest in Peace Marko!View this live interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s65jBVPh0Wk&t=52sGet in touch with Alex: Email: alex@alexmacphail.co.zaTwitter: https://twitter.com/AlexMacPhail1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flyingmogulWebsite: www.alexmacphail.co.za
We have yet another special guest from the airshow world on the podcast this episode in the form of Peter Reoch. Pete was formerly the Operations Manager for Cosford Air Show but took over in 2021 from Tom Gibbons as Head of Air Ops at the Royal International Air Tattoo. We spoke to Pete about his career, how he got the job at the biggest military air show in the world and the unfortunate reality of having his first one cancelled.

The engineers at Airbus have been particularly inspired by nature lately. In late June, Airbus revealed a scale-model prototype of a new aircraft concept that flapped its wings. The AlbatrossOne uses free-flapping wing tips to fend off turbulence while reducing drag and wing weight.The team at Airbus unveiled a new concept design at the Royal International Air Tattoo air show in the UK. For this concept, the engineers took biomimicry a step further and went whole bird.The Bird of Prey is a theoretical airliner, a hybrid-electric, turbo-propeller aircraft that could be used for regional air transportation. As you can see, the wing and the tail mimic those found on falcons and eagles. Instead of a lone flapping tip, the wings have individually controlled feathers for active flight control, and the split tail doesn't have a tailfin, which would reduce drag and make the aircraft more efficient. The concept also has a blended wing-to-fuselage joint that mirrors the arch found on birds of prey. The concept could carry around 80 passengers (regional craft average around 100 passengers) and could have a range of approximately 932 miles. It would also be quieter and up to 50% more efficient -- but when it's just a rendering, you can make some pretty bold claims. While it is based on "realistic ideas" the Bird of Prey design is meant more to inspire future engineers and less about an actual aircraft -- might be why they tossed an "Engineering is Great" decal on the concept. Martin Aston, senior manager at Airbus, said "nature has some of the best lessons we can learn about design." Based on some of their recent work, the design team seems to be buying in wholeheartedly.
