About this episode
Join Carlos, Matt, Nev and Paul from the Layovers Podcast for this week's episode of the Number One UK Aviation Podcast, PTUK! In this week's show we say a fond farewell to BA's last two Boeing 747's "but there may be good news", The A220 turns into the next new biz jet, and a woman is caught trying to take rather a lot of money into Dubai. In the military news Russia's new fighter jet goes topless, Canada receives their first CC-295 Kingfisher Search and Rescue Aircraft and we have some exciting Red Arrows news. We also learn more about Dan Holley's love of storm chasing in part 2 of Captain Al and Matt's chat with him. Chris Marsh shares with us his thoughts on Aviation in his life.
