  • Very Enjoyable

    I loved my time in the Royal Air Force and to be able to reconnect via the podcast is great. Episode 4 was fantastic and clearly listening to CAS the Force is now a very inclusive and progressive organisation compared to my time.

    I do think there should be more input from the male and female aviators on their specific job roles.

    We need more people wanting to join our armed forces
