Former RAF Tornado navigator John Nichol takes us through his transition from the Tornado GR1 to the Tornado F3. John shares what it was like making the move, covering the ground school and flying training, the similarities and differences between the two aircraft, and eventually joining XI Squadron.

We also discuss Dissimilar Air Combat Training (DACT), life on the squadron, the social side and plenty of entertaining stories along the way.

We wrap up by talking about his latest book ‘ Blitz’.
