BBC Radio 4 - Programmes to mark 100 Years of Human Flight. Dec 15 - 19th

Hi Everyone

Just thought you might find this of interest...

==================

Afternoon Readings: Take Off
Monday 15 - Friday 19 December, 3.30pm

It's 100 years since the Wright Brothers took to the air on December 17th
1903 and the world has never been the same since. We head into the blue with
Daniele del Giudice's Take Off, a sublime meditation on the experience of
flight.

From the author's first, nerve-wracking, solo flight to a ghostly visitation
on a night-time air field and the literary reconstruction of the last fatal
moments of a doomed airliner; the short stories in Take Off remind us that
the world up there is a mysterious place where nothing can be taken for
granted and everything changes all the time.

Read by Simon Russell Beale, these five short stories carry you up into the
world of the clouds, a world governed by different laws where one mistake
can be fatal.
