Episode 278 - London Charlotte to London Appleton

Your hosts for today's programme are Carlos, Armando and Matt. In this episode we discover that one low cost carrier's passenger is hit with a massive fine for being disruptive, everyone's favourite budget airline renames their new planes and there is chaos at Terminal 5 after a glitch with their baggage systems. Armando talks to George from the Reno Air Races about how he found his love of aviation. We also talk planning with Colin Hitchins ahead of the Biggin Hill Festival of Flight.
