LBM Audible #4: RAF Airman on Blogging from the Frontline
It’s time for another episode of LBM Audible, the podcast for London’s blogging community. Episode number 4 no less.
In this episode Bernie and I talk to Alex Ford, the author behind the popular RAF Airman blog and tweet stream.
Alex talks about his experiences as an RAF airman. How he’s been opening up life in the forces for all to read and enjoy, with the support of the MOD too.
And enjoy we have been doing. Alex shares some highly entertaining stories from his time in the RAF and since as he readjusts to life in civvy street. What was it like in Afghanistan, how has he been dealing with depression, working with the SAS, the list goes on. He covers so much in this podcast that it’s worth listening to twice. For example did you know a hand grenade pouch is the perfect size for storing a camera?
There’s no doubt had time allowed Bernie and I would have enjoyed talking to Alex for another couple of hours. Whether he would have enjoyed talking to us is of course another matter.
Thanks for sharing Alex. We truly enjoyed talking to you.
