Description

U.K. Month kicks off with a look at the English Eclectic... make that 'Electric' (oops!)... Lightning.

Our guest is retired RAF Squadron Leader Ian "Blacky" Black; follow him on Twitter (@blickyIan) and check out his website, firestreakbooks.com.The only listener question addressed on this episode concerns the host Jell-O's advice for a new student naval aviator.
