Ep 04: Evolution of Fast Jet Ground Attack

Thirty years ago this month, former RAF Tornado navigator John Nichol was being held as a prisoner of war in an Iraqi jail. His aircraft had been shot down following a low-level ground attack. In this extended and remotely recorded episode, John meets F-35 Lightning pilot, Flight Lieutenant Bally, to hear how RAF ground attack has changed since then. Also in this episode is 'Reheat'; a catch up on RAF news you may have missed and 'Name That Noise'. InsideAIR is produced for the Royal Air Force by RAF Media Reserves. Theme music by RAF Music Services.
