The past month has included a number of events related to the Royal Australian Navy’s International Fleet Review 2013 as well as the arrival of Jetstar’s new 787-8. Grant’s been visiting a few ships & interviewing their aircrew while Kathy’s had a flight on Australia’s brand new MRH-90 Taipan transport helicopters. Not long after that, Grant was in Sydney to watch the mass-flypast of aircraft as the fleet steamed into Sydney harbour then both Steve & Grant were on the tarmac in Melbourne for the new Jetstar 787 arrival celebrations.Naturally this generated lots of great new content and we’ve packaged it all up as follows:0:06:43 – LT Hamish Walker, Lynx Pilot on HMS Daring0:13:37 – LT CDR Teilo Elliot-Smith, Air Warefare Officer on HMS Daring0:27:15 – CDR Angus Essenhigh, Commanding Officer of HMS Daring0:34:37 – LT David Roderick, Seasprite Pilot on HMNZS Te Mana0:46:17 – LT Hamish Liddy, Seasprite Observer on HMNZS Te Mana0:57:22 – Leading Hand Zach Taylor, Seasprite crew on HMNZS Te Mana1:06:29 – David presents Grant with their 6 Squadron patch & explains its symbolism1:07:43 – Grant chats with listener “Mick from the Frankston line”1:14:45 – Kathy Mexted chats with Steve about flying in the MRH-901:17:45 – LT Jack Wadey, MRH-90 Taipan Pilot1:31:40 – CPT Brett Chandler, Commanding Officer of HMAS Creswell1:38:27 – Kathy chats about how she knew Brett Chandler from some time ago1:43:20 – David Hall, CEO of Jetstar Australia & New Zealand1:48:53 – Captain Jeremy Schmidt, lead pilot on Jetstar’s 787 programme1:55:19 – Gordon Rich-Phillips, Victoria’s Minister for Aviation Industry1:59:23 – We wrap it up and sign off
