Description

In this series,  Mike McLean will be having a short chat with members of the Aviation Community.  He'll be asking them how and why they got into aviation, what or who inspired them to look to the skys and what they would say to any young people thinking of a career in this sector.  The people he'll be talking with come from a wide range of backgrounds and have a variety of stories to tell


The Short Circuit podcast is sponsored by Swift Aircraft.  Swift Aircraft is a new British Aircraft company developing light aircraft for the 21st century.  With a focus on sustainability and innovation, it is involved in the development of young people through STEM activities, inspiring the next generation to become involved in the world of things that fly.
