  • Hello! I am 10 year old Gwen Rose. I wanted to do this podcast so all the girls, boys and me could learn about what in different jobs really get up to at work all day. Join me in uncovering what the jobs we think we know about are actually like, and discovering some we had never thought about before. Let's get to work!

  • The Warbird/Commercial Pilot
    Oct 16 2023

    Bob Davy is a one trick pony; so he says....but we think he is pretty multi-talented! He flies people and cargo all around the world, and he also flies Warbirds - that's ex-military aircraft. When COVID came along, bringing the commercial airlines and tourist flights to a halt, Bob found that he had time to focus on some the other things he loved doing - all to do with airplanes of course!

    Gwen finds out that it's like actually spending time in the heat of the cockpit, what it's like flying at night, and why Bob's pockets have to be done up - can you guess?

    If you are keen on flying and interested in becoming a pilot then Bob will give you a great idea of what that really means, and how you get there.

  • The Airfield Manager
    Sep 18 2023

    How do you go from Scotland and secretarial college to the outskirts of London, owning and managing an airfield......via a spot of car dealing?! Catherine's story shows that life can take some surprising turns, and that everything you do can be useful experience to bring to future jobs and roles.

    Gwen gets to hear the incredible history of women in the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) - a British civilian organisation set up at the start of the Second World War with headquarters at White Waltham Airfield in Berkshire, which Catherine now owns and manages.

    The airfield is home to West London Aero Club, three runways, aircraft hangers for privately owned aircrafts, a flying school, aircraft manufacturers, a model railway club, a pub, a party venue, and it is even sometimes transformed into a film set!

    We hope you enjoy this conversation between Gwen and her fascinating guest, Catherine.
