Episode 354 - British Wear-Ways

Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Armando for the show this week.

In the commercial we look at an abandoned British Airways training facility still with lots of goodies inside, JetBlue unveils a very Posh new seat for its US to London flights & we take a look at what will be the worlds smallest airport.

In the military the Italian Navy are on their way to pick up new fighters, retired Israeli F-16s get a new lease of life and a rare collection of V-Bomber Cockpits goes up for auction.

Stefan Krause and Laura Davies share with us the stories that caught their eye this week, Matt and Captain Al talk Icy Runways and it's Part 6 of Captain Nick in conversation with George Lee MBE.
