10 years as a ruffy tuffy fighter pilot, youngest Wing Commander in the RAF, clearly the best student ever to pass through the ETPS, and I end up doing trials to see if vaping is safe in the cockpit!

To save the wages of thousands of musicians all around the country, the Prince of Wales now plays his own National Anthem on landing.

Every time he lands on or ahead of schedule Capt Ryan plays a fanfare to himself.
