Episode 558 - Big Profits, Power outages and Trainer replacements

from Plane Talking UK Podcast · host Carlos, Nev, Matt, Armando, Andy, John & Nik

In this week's show: London Heathrow reports a profit of 2 billion pounds this year, but this also coincides with the rather unfavourable report into the recent major power outage that was actually warned about 7 years ago; Vietnam Airlines suspends 4 pilots after a taxiway collision in Hanoi; and Qantas takes delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR.    In the military: The RAF will be receiving a replacement for its ageing Hawk fast jet trainers – with the new aircraft potentially being made in Britain; and the US Air Force Terminates the E-7 Wedgetail Early Warning Aircraft Program      We'll also go back to the Duxford air display where Nev spoke with Mike Smith of the Duxford Aviation Society about the challenges of maintaining an incredible fleet of aircraft at the site.
