Episode 314 - International 'Ding your Widebody' Week

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando, Matt, Andy from the A320 Podcast and Peter Collings for this week's bumper show.

In this week's episode we learn that an awful lot of aircraft require a little more than a quick buff to get them back in the air, everyone's favourite low cost airline are a loggerheads with regulators over proposed ideas designed to lift travel restrictions and we talk preparatory maintenance for aircraft when this is all over.

In the military we talk about Thunderbirds / Blue Angels / Red Arrows and the world's biggest plane steps up the fight against the virus with a hundred tonnes of medical gear.

Nev brings us a new feature called 'Groan of the Week' - Thanks to our listener Ralph Walker who emailed into the show for this idea.

Nev also shares with us a little trip down memory lane to a time when we were allowed outside - Take a look at his amazing highlights package! - https://youtu.be/rQ7vKlrDLw4.

Peter and Andy talk all things Airbus with some great questions from the chatroom as usual.
