1 #683: Navigating the effect of AI on marketing jobs and the job market with Sue Keith, Landrum Talent Solutions 23:28
Ep.207 - Cold War Coastal Command Chapter 10 - The Threat
Manage episode 433637875 series 9367
At the end of World War Two RAF Coastal Command faced the same challenges of all the British military services, one of reduction, cutbacks and a return to a peaceful world.
The threat from the axis powers had been effectively squashed but there was a new threat emerging, in the form of the Soviet Union.
Coastal Command had to start learning about new adversaries once again, adapting and performing immediately, to protect British interests initially in the northern Atlantic, but rapidly elsewhere.
For almost 60 Cold War years, the RAF relied heavily on two aircraft types, through various models, enhancements and sheer longevity. The Avro Shackleton and the Hawker Siddeley Nimrod.
Chris Gibson author of the brilliant book ‘Nimrod's Genesis’, joins us to help understand the new threat and explain to process the UK took to replace its old aircraft with new more sophisticated platforms.
