The UK has some of the most congested airspace in the world. Ensuring military and civilian aircraft don’t get in the way of each other is just one the reasons why 78 Squadron is co-located at National Air Traffic Services (NATS). Flight Lieutenant Chris Sully went to the air traffic control centre in Swanwick, to hear about the 'swivel chair interaction' that keeps jet setting holiday makers a safe distance from military aviators.

Ep 117: Frontline NHS to Frontline RAF
Juggling a Reserve commitment with a busy civilian job is something that’s part and parcel of life for the thousands of Reserves currently serving in the RAF. Someone who knows that first hand is the Chief Medical Officer of Scotland Professor Sir Gregor Smith, but far from saying it can be too hard for NHS staff to find the time, he's urging more of them to join the RAF Medical Reserves, saying not only is it a boost for their careers as individuals, but to the health service as a whole. AS1 Ben Russell has the story. InsideAIR is produced for the Royal Air Force by RAF Media Reserves. Theme music by RAF Music Services.
