Manchester Barton
 

Feel free to drop in at Manchester Barton. We can show him around, and there are plenty of airport bums to talk to.

Great idea
 

If the one show are looking for something to rival "Big Brother" in terms of general bitching, politics & tittle tattle then there are some incredible clubs I've been involved in then would be absolutely ripe.

Outside of that any aircraft share scheme where one member doesn't return the aircraft quickly at the end of their slot, goes flying without booking etc would be a good source of drama.

A weekly show.
 

What we want is a weekly aviation show, not 'The One Show', we have hours ,and hours, of cooking, doctors, wild life, do-it-yourself, houses to buy/rent/renovate, gardening, farming, sewing, and then we have 30 minutes of motor cars, thank you for Top Gear. We, as aviation persons, aircrew/groundcrew/spotters/ have nothing on any TV programme to cover our subject. I have made noises to the companies to produce or direct same, but due me having no previous knowledge or training in media or journalism I have had no success. My input would be accuracy, and 50 years in aviation from mechanic to flight deck, Cessna to Jumbo, and all bits between. All I would like is 30 minutes a week, as per Top Gear, [without Dave and all the repeats]. Thousands and thousands of people are interested in aviation, from all aspects, especially the engineering side of our business, and I have no doubts at all that the half hour would/could be a major success, so come on TV companies, let's have 'Top Flight', once a week, with not a chef to be seen.

If the Americans and Canadians can make shows about aviation (even if there fly on the wall/reality shows) why cant we?

"Flying Wild East Anglia" doesn't have quite the right ring to it somehow.
