My name’s Jon Hunt, a private pilot, YouTuber and former BBC TV news reporter. I make inspirational, educational and entertaining general aviation content with a UK focus - and being a fixed wing pilot - that’s where my heart lies and what drives most of my content.

Today, we’re discussing how to improve things for general aviation in the UK. I’ll be talking to a recently appointed general aviation advocate.
