No Light, No NVG, No Option But Go In
As the last forces personnel were evacuated from Kabul in August 2021, two German soldiers were accidentally left behind, leading to an incredible rescue mission, led by an RAF Flight Lieutenant.Â
A call from the German Ops centre asked Flt Lt Mark Jenkins to fly back into Kabul. His mission... to rescue the two German soldiers who'd been left behind amidst the chaos.

Every Reservist a Warfighter
In 2021, the Government published a list of recommendations in the Reserve Forces Review 2030. Less than a year later Russia invaded Ukraine. What happened to RF30? How will RAF Reservists be affected? And what does it mean for the wider RAF? InsideAIR spoke with Air Vice-Marshal Ranald Munro, the Royal Auxiliary Air Forceâs Commandant General, to find some answers.

Customer Reviews
Very Enjoyable
I loved my time in the Royal Air Force and to be able to reconnect via the podcast is great. Episode 4 was fantastic and clearly listening to CAS the Force is now a very inclusive and progressive organisation compared to my time.
I do think there should be more input from the male and female aviators on their specific job roles.
We need more people wanting to join our armed forces
Brilliant
A really good podcast, as a cadet itâs really interesting and inspiring to hear what the RAF is up. Would really cool to hear cadets on here one day! :)
