Episode 308 - Here We Drone Again

Join Carlos, Nev, Armando (via video) and Matt for this week's programme.

On today's show we ask can COVID-19 be blamed for the collapse of the UK's biggest regional carrier? A mechanic is sentenced to 3 years in prison for aircraft tampering and there's big delays at Frankfurt due to a drone incident.

In the military the Air Forces Top General has bad news for the KC46 programme and a UAV manufacturer wants to give aerial tankers their own missile-laden drones.
