The Vintage Pilot School
Join Thomas as he learns to fly an aeroplane from scratch - using a 1940s self-study textbook for prospective RAF fighter pilots. A most foolish, yet exciting plan! The journey will take you from Thomas's living room to a flight academy near Valencia, Spain - with plenty of stopovers along the way, providing room for verbal digression.
