Celebrating inspirational British aircraft and profiling the passionate enthusiasts who keep these planes flying, CLASSIC BRITISH AIRCRAFT pays tribute to the unique design qualities, highly distinctive styling and brilliant innovation of these machines. CLASSIC BRITISH AIRCRAFT will explore the history, successes, failures and current uses of both civilian and military aircraft, such as the VC10 (the fastest airliner in the world after the demise of Concorde), the Trident, the Lightning (which still holds climbing records that may never be broken) and the Sea Vixen. Accompany mechanics who piece together these items of living history, trawling the world for obscure parts. Learn from craftsmen who have rediscovered lost skills, and meet some of the airmen who operated the aircraft in their heyday, as well as current pilots who have the responsibility of handling these irreplaceable machines.

Mystery Jets release their sixth studio album A Billion Heartbeats. By turns tender and fierce, abstract and full of classic rock energy, A Billion Heartbeats achieves a balance of passion, fear and hope. Amid the colourful cavalcade of rich harmonies, heavy guitars and rallying cries, the album’s essential message - about personal responsibility, and the power in becoming engaged. In a sense, it's not just their "state of the nation” record but their “state of a generation” record too.
