    Ep.227 – ‘Constant Endeavour - RAF Coastal Command' – The Book

    In this episode Pieter steps away from our usual format to introduce Constant Endeavour – RAF Coastal Command, the first ebook and audiobook to emerge from the podcast. He reflects on why the team has been quieter on the main feed, and how turning episodic content into a complete story offers a different way to explore the air war at sea. He also explains how the long-running Coastal Command series developed into a full narrative, drawing on years of conversations with historians, authors, and researchers who followed Coastal Command from the Battle of the Atlantic through the Cold War. This short update shares what the project has meant: keeping Coastal Command stories alive, working with a wide range of contributors and turning detailed research into something people can enjoy listening to. It also includes a 3½‑minute clip from the audiobook introduction, so you can hear the tone and scope of Constant Endeavour and how it grew directly out of Aviation Xtended. The audiobook is completely reengineered and edited to suit an audio book listenThe ebook is a standalone read (not a transcript) but a full account of each episode in Pieter’s own wordsAudio Book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Constant-Endeavour-Operations-Overlooked-Command/dp/B0H51CK479/ E Book LINK https://www.amazon.co.uk/Constant-Endeavour-Operations-Overlooked-Command/dp/B0H51CK479/ _____________________________________________________________ Contact Us: ⁠GetInvolved@aviation-Xtended.co.uk⁠  Xtended Link Tree https://linktr.ee/aviationxtended Contact Xtended: GetInvolved@aviation-Xtended.co.uk Also from XTPMedia – The Partnership Edge Podcast https://xtpmedia.co.uk/podcast/ _____________________________________________________________ Aviation Xtended Partners Royal Aeronautical Society Global Aviation Resource XTPMedia Ellie Carter Show Supporters  The Aviation Historian http://www.theaviationhistorian.com/ Aviation Enthusiasts Book Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/359410134220076  Xtended Podcast family  AeroSociety https://www.aerosociety.com/events/catch-up-on-events/video-audio-archive/  AirplaneGeeks http://www.airplanegeeks.com/  PCDU https://www.planecrazydownunder.com/  Wings Over New Zealand Show http://cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html You can shop through this Amazon link (No cost to you but a small benefit to us):• https://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=xtenaeroradi-21&linkCode=ur1

    Ep.226 - Warbirds to Warhorses

    In this episode of Aviation Xtended, host Pieter Johnson is joined by Bob Davy and Keith Wilson, authors of 'Warbirds to Workhorses'. Together, they explore aviation beyond the headlines, following the journey of the book from iconic warbirds to the quieter, often overlooked aircraft that shape everyday flying. The conversation looks at judgement, workload, and the human realities of operating and photographing aircraft across very different eras. Rather than chasing heroics, Bob and Keith reflect on what these aeroplanes really teach you once the romance fades and why honest storytelling matters in aviation today.

    Ep.225 - The Invisible Campaign, with Jane Gulliford Lowes

    The Xtended team welcomes back historian and author Jane Gulliford Lowes to discuss her latest book, The Invisible Campaign: Bomber Command Gardening Operations 1940–1945, with host Pieter Johnson. Drawing on Air Ministry and Admiralty archives, squadron records and veteran testimony, Jane reveals how RAF Bomber Command’s aerial minelaying campaign (codenamed“gardening”) quietly sank or damaged hundreds of Axis ships and in fact destroyed more tonnage of enemy shipping than direct air attack. Yet it remains one of the least understood aspects of the air war.​ In this episode, Pieter and Jane explore why mining operations were developed from 1940 onwards, how Bomber Command integrated them into its wider strategy, and the evolving technology, aircraft and tactics used to plant“vegetables” from Hampden, Wellington, Stirling, Manchester, Lancaster and Halifax, in some of the most heavily defended waters in Europe. They look at the human experience of low‑level, night‑time sorties over ports, estuaries and sea lanes from Norway tothe Bay of Biscay and deep into the Baltic, the real risk and loss rates behind the so‑called “milk run”, and why manyskilled specialist crews received little recognition during or after the war. Jane also reassesses Arthur Harris’s view of minelaying, thesometimes tense relationship between Bomber Command and Coastal Command over anti‑shipping roles, and what this “invisible” campaign tells us about how we remember Bomber Command’s legacy today. If you are interested in RAF history, maritime warfare or under‑told stories of the Second World War in the air, this conversation will change how you think about Bomber Command and the power of aerial mining.

    Ep.224 - Fifty Years of Flying Fun

    We talk to Rod Dean about ‘Fifty Years of Flying Fun’ which covers his half-century career in the air, from joining the RAF in 1962 to his work as a general aviation and airshow pilot. Over his career Rod logged more than 7,000 hours on 59 different types of aircraft, including military jets like the Hunter and Jaguar, as well as vintage planes such as the Spitfire. This is a fascinating reflection from flying fast jets through to warbirds. For full show notes visits www.aviation-xtended.co.uk

    Ep.223 - Riding Rockets, with astronaut Mike Mullane

    Colonel Mike Mullane flew three Space Shuttle missions as a Mission Specialist and is a retired US Air Force weapon systems operator, flying 134 combat missions in Vietnam.  He wrote the award-winning children's book Liftoff and the outrageously amusing and often times tragic “Riding Rockets”.  He is a speaker on leadership, teamwork, and safety. He uses his experiences to explain the "normalisation of deviance," the tendency to take shortcuts and accept lower standards under pressure.  Listen to Gareth’s interview with Mike, on the best and sadly some of the tragic elements of being a Space Shuttle astronaut.
