The Problem with Military Flying Training in the UK
April 02, 2021 14:07 - 34 minutes - 65.2 MBThis can only be described as an appalling situation in the UK Military Flying Training System (UKMFTS) and very much in the public's interest. 72 Sqn flies the Texan T1 at RAF Valley, the same base that is home to 25 and IV Sqn (formerly IV Sqn) flying the Hawk T2. In 2012, I was a Flight Commander on IV Sqn which was going through an almost identical situation to that which is highlighted in this Defence Air Safety Occurrence Report (DASOR).

The journey hasn't been easy, not that I thought it would be, just been testing in aspects where one wouldn't expect and be able to prepare for. What I mean with this is; physically I knew it was going to be testing so I could train for it; mentally is so broad you can only prepare certain aspects but others catch you completely off guard; lifestyle comes with its own challenges but one can...

How to Not Destroy Your Christmas – Walk Your Fine Line
December 23, 2019 17:48 - 15 minutes - 21.2 MBI can self-destruct. I have the power to destroy everything in my world, but I choose not to. Some days that choice is harder to make than on other days, but I take comfort in the knowledge that there are other people out there doing the same thing. I know some of these people well but some I’ve never met; I watch from afar, keenly noticing how fine a line they walk. Occasionally, I’ll read about someone whose done something stupid and I’ll note that they made a different choice that mo...

It was a hot and humid July day on the south coast of England; people were going about their weekly shop and the smell of cheap sunscreen hung lazily in the air.

Death in the Red Arrows - When the Display is More Important than Safety
November 03, 2019 20:05 - 50 minutes - 68.9 MB(Re-recorded and shorted to 50 mins) There will always be a lack of necessary external oversight of flight safety and organisational competence on the most visible Squadron in the RAF.

The same recommendations continue to be ignored with the excuse that the aircraft is soon to retire, o...

Reflection on the Shoreham Air Crash Verdict
March 11, 2019 17:19 - 1 hour - 132 MBIf a pilot fails to attain set parameters, as demonstrated by Andy Hill at the Shoreham Airshow in 2015, catastrophe awaits. Mr Hill was flying a Hawker Hunter jet when it crashed into a dual carriageway killing 11 people.

February 01, 2019 18:58 - 27 minutes - 37.2 MBBack in 2013, when flying Hawk T2s at RAF Valley, I had to put a flight safety report in: 'Failure to apply parking brake resulting in un-commanded aircraft movement.'

Why the Best Fighter Pilots are Often the Biggest Failures
October 05, 2018 16:35 - 50 minutes - 69.7 MB‘Fail the trip.’ I said to the flying instructor who’d just flown with one of our top students. He gave me a confused look. I was expecting it – my demand, to him, was entirely unreasonable. We knew the student well, I’d read her flying reports from her previous two flight schools and from our own Squadron where she was learning to be a fast jet pilot in the RAF. She was excellent; her flying was above average in all respects – she was hard working and well prepared for her flights. But ...

Sanctuary: Not just the Home of Lost Fighter Pilots
April 03, 2018 18:26 - 18 minutes - 25.8 MBIt was a blinding flash of sunlight that forced my eyes to squint into the distance and my heart-rate to soar - but it was no good… I’d lost her. The dim outline of a fighter jet, that I’d been pointing at head-on just a couple of seconds ago, was now gone. It’s the biggest fear of any pilot, losing sight of the aircraft you are about to fight - you can’t fight what you can’t see. The temptation was to frantically search the sky in the hope she’d reappear but I knew i...

I flown with him many times before. He was the kind of guy that radios weren’t invented for - he just didn’t need to use them.

It really was a ‘dark and stormy night’ and our plan was going to take us into some of the worst weath...

Why this One Forgotten Email Proves that Millennials are the Luckiest Generation, Ever.
January 07, 2018 20:42 - 25 minutes - 34.1 MBI like millennials. There, I’ve said it. And, before my inbox explodes with all the hate mail from my more ‘senior’ readers, let me explain. I like millennials because they have so much potential and yet, they don’t even know it. They are today's 'underdogs' and, once upon a time, I was an underdog, too - all the criticism aimed at millennials could have been aimed at me.
