Gwen Gets To Work – Details, episodes & analysis

Bob Davy is a one trick pony; so he says....but we think he is pretty multi-talented! He flies people and cargo all around the world, and he also flies Warbirds - that's ex-military aircraft. When COVID came along, bringing the commercial airlines and tourist flights to a halt, Bob found that he had time to focus on some the other things he loved doing - all to do with airplanes of course!

Gwen finds out that it's like actually spending time in the heat of the cockpit, what it's like flying at night, and why Bob's pockets have to be done up - can you guess?

If you are keen on flying and interested in becoming a pilot then Bob will give you a great idea of what that really means, and how you get there.

How do you go from Scotland and secretarial college to the outskirts of London, owning and managing an airfield......via a spot of car dealing?! Catherine's story shows that life can take some surprising turns, and that everything you do can be useful experience to bring to future jobs and roles.

Gwen gets to hear the incredible history of women in the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) - a British civilian organisation set up at the start of the Second World War with headquarters at White Waltham Airfield in Berkshire, which Catherine now owns and manages.

The airfield is home to West London Aero Club, three runways, aircraft hangers for privately owned aircrafts, a flying school, aircraft manufacturers, a model railway club, a pub, a party venue, and it is even sometimes transformed into a film set!

We hope you enjoy this conversation between Gwen and her fascinating guest, Catherine.

If you'd like to know more about White Waltham you can go to their website here.

WELCOME TO SEASON 2!

For Gwen's first episode as a 9 year old she interviews super cool Graphic Artist Paul Farrell, whose bold, colourful, geometric style of work you may recognise from seeing his prints or build sets in galleries and arty shops, or from his  books, or perhaps some of the work he has done for clients. She puts his designer knowledge to the test and they have a lovely chat about what it is really like working all day on his designs, and most importantly what is Paul's tea-break biscuit of choice?

This year Paul is releasing a new childrens' book all about a mouse called Mauricette. Check out his instagram or website to see lots of his lovely images.

Shout out to Belle, Pauls' daughter who is also 9! We especially hope that you enjoy listening.
