Episode 339 - Sky's 737 Jumbo

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.
