During his career in the Royal Air Force, Dave Gledhill has been flying as a navigator in the Tornado ADV. After his career he wrote a book about this airplane, and its (not always problem-free) introduction into service with the RAF. In this episode we talk about the airplane, about his flying, about some of the challenges during its development and introduction into service, and how they were overcome to make the F.3 a capable interceptor after all.

Is that the flyby over buckingham pallace ?
Could be. Even though the video says that these are GR.1 Tornados, and not F.2s or F.3s.
Nice episode! And he writes not only non-fiction aviation books, but also historical Cold War fiction books. I’ve read one of them last year and liked it. Might be worth a look as summer literature.
I just was introduced today by the program. Very nice!

Loved the podcast, bought the book (kindle edition) and would like to get in touch with Dave. Any idea where or how to contact him?
All the best, Uwe
