There's a new edition of Flaps Podcast available now.
As ever it's free, and is at flapspodcast.com (http://www.flapspodcast.com/) and is on iTunes too.
We've been away for three months or so, so if you've never heard of us, we're a radio programme about flying that's only available on the internet. (We haven't been totally lazy in that time, we've done a couple of specials for the CAA, such as this one about R112 infringement for the Olympics (http://www.flapspodcast.com/2012/05/caa-airspace/).)
This is our 13th edition and while that may be unlucky for some, we're in a celebratory mood. Last week it was announced that we'd won a Gold award at the New York Festivals World's Best Radio Programs Awards. (Or as we call them for convenience, the "New Yorks".) It was for the September 2011 edition of Flaps. Hopefully we've been casting GA in a favourable light.
Anyway, in this edition, we speak to Jonathan Mitchell and David Jones, the two pilots who broke the round Britain aviation record over the Jubilee weekend. They're based at Derby Aero Club and they've raised thousands for Fly2Help.
Celebrity Pilot is actor, comedian, Papal Knight, and former Crackerjack presenter Don Maclean.
In Mason's Minute, Pablo Mason talks about radio failure: what to do, and what he did when a radio failed on him.
And we bring our report from AeroExpo 2012. We spent the (glorious) Friday there and spoke to a good number of exhibitors and participants, including Tim Orchard of Tecnam UK and Fly on Track's Irv Lee.
Any feedback is welcome. We'd really appreciate it if you "liked" us on Facebook (facebook.com/flapspodcast) and if you'd also rate us on iTunes (http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/flaps-podcast/id385719424).
