The current provider of these ten minute musings on a matter of current interest is Clive James, known to many in the UK and in his native Australia.
On Friday 4th April 2008, his topic is air travel and he combines two of the present subjects quite magnificently. I suggest you use the BBC Listen Again feature, as it will be available for a week in audio.
This links to the transcript of the talk on the BBC website:

And in the middle of the page there is a box with a quote and a click button underneath to listen to the audio.
As on so many other occasions, Mr James had me laughing out loud and I commend this to my fellow PPRuNErs.
