Episode 309 - Plain Talking Medical Podcast | Plane Talking UK Podcast

Join Carlos, Matt, Captain Nick and Captain Al for this week's busy show.

On today's show we learn that everyone's favourite low cost airline is still committed to Chinese built aircraft, the bleak story of the 737 MAX continues and could there be more sad news on the horizon as a troubled budget carrier struggles to make ends meet?

Matt talks to Jenny about what it's like living in Rome as COVID-19 restricts their movements and APGs resident Doctor prescribes some good old fashioned common sense.

Finally in the military the Scottish coast is buzzed by 6 fighter jets as an uninvited guest make a visit and are B2 stealth bombers making a return to RAF Fairford?
