Hey there 👋

Welcome to our second episode of The Pilot’s Logbook - a podcast companion for private pilots in the UK and Europe!

We are over the moon with the support we’ve received after our first episode. Over 200 of you have listened to our chat with Philipe Polman about flying in the UK and into Europe.

A Masterclass in Aircraft Covers

In this episode of The Pilot's Logbook, we dive deep into the world of aircraft covers with insights from Andy Blundell, founder of Vertigo Covers. Andy shares his expert advice on choosing the right cover, proper care and maintenance, and common mistakes to avoid, helping you save money and keep your aircraft protected.

But That's Not All! In This Episode:

  • Property Developers vs My Mum: The inspiring story of a mother battling to save her local airport from closure.

  • Ditching Dilemmas: we share my firsthand experience with underwater escape training, what it's really like to escape a submerged aircraft, and discuss if you should do it as well.

  • Le Touquet: We take a sneak peek into our comprehensive Travel Plans guide to Le Touquet Paris-Plage, the charming French seaside resort.

It all started when seven-year old Katie did this drawing and gave it to her mum, Sarah. In this episode, we tell you the story of Sarah Deacon and her campaign to save Nottingham City Airport.
