Chris Taylor

Racing champion Martin, who is a member of Britain's oldest flying club The Royal Aero Club, prepares to compete for the Schneider Trophy, in which 14 pilots will fly around outlying islands in Alderney in the Channel Islands. Elsewhere, a cargo pilot contends with a tight schedule, and must cross the Irish sea even during bad weather conditions, while the team at DHL's warehouse processes a hundred and fifty thousand parcels each night. Plus, at NATS, bad weather grounds planes and dangerous `wind sheer" causes pilots to abort landings
