Flying Podcast
Summary: Flying Podcast is aimed at aviators in the UK. On this podcast we'll be chatting to flyers of all kinds. Hopefully we'll be out there talking to anyone that has an interest in flying whether it be fixed wing, rotary, balloon, glider... anything. Speaking to people that fly just for fun or to professionals that can maybe guide you and me through the maze of flight training. So, if all goes to plan, we can maybe be entertained and learn something along the way.

Episode 32 of Flying Podcast sees me back up to York to interview Peter Davies. Peter is an instructor on gyrocopters for the Gyrocopter Experience. He currently runs their Preston franchise. Quite by chance, when I was reading about gyrocopters I came across Peter’s name and I was fascinated to read about his experiences in the world of aviation. His flying pedigree goes way back to the early days of hang gliding and microlighting here in the UK and so I thought he’d make a good candidate to appear on the podcast.
