Did you know? In 2014, the 3,000th edition of the BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, which was first broadcast on 29th January 1942. The guest for the 3,000th show was 95 year old Eric 'Winkle' Brown, the Navy Fleet Air Arm's most decorated pilot and the record holder for the most flight deck landings. He died two years after the broadcast and there is statue of him at Edinburgh airport. Not may people know this, but HMS Beehive at Felixstowe and HMS Ganges at Shotley played a part in the formation of the Fleet Air Arm.

Quote of the day:

You talk about aerobatics – we did every one I think and I was hanging on to my tummy. So, when we landed, and he gave me the fright of my life because we approached upside-down and then he rolled out just in time to land, he said to me as I got out of the cockpit, slapped me between the shoulder-blades, and gave me the old WW1 fighter pilots' greeting, Hals- und Beinbruch, which means broken neck and broken legs but that was their greeting. But he said to me, you'll make a fine fighter pilot – do me two favours: learn to speak German fluently and learn to fly.

Eric Brown about Ernst Udet, a former German World War I fighter pilot.

Joke of the day:

A 'good' landing is one from which you can walk away. A 'great' landing is one after which they can use the

plane again.
