From council house to cockpit, John’s journey through aviation is peppered with hilarious anecdotes, near misses, and the kind of stories that’ll keep you reading late into the night. A man with a story to tell – and the wit to tell it brilliantly. His new book “Grounded” is due to be published soon.

A humorous insight into the world of airline flying.  How one might become a professional pilot, radio communications, navigation, and why take-offs are trickier than landing.

IMPORTANT:

My speech is free of ‘isms’ i.e., there are no disparaging remarks about ethnicity, weight, gender etc, however, it is cheeky in parts and is best suited to after dinner audiences.

The speech contains occasional swear words and inferences which, if removed, could adversely impact the humour.  This is not a vanilla, ‘walk a fine PC line’ speech, but equally it is not overtly offensive.

Subject to the above, the speech is suited to male and female audiences.
