Aviation

In a new series for BBC Radio Solent, Bruce Parker taps into the south's rich history.

With the help of experts from across Hampshire Dorset and the Isle of Wight and using BBC Radio Solent's archive.

In the first programme of the series, Bruce and his guests remember aviation in the south.

Hear about the early aviators who risked and lost their lives in the skies over the south.

The famous Schneider Trophy comes under the spotlight and the guests pay tribute to the father of the Supermarine Spitfire, RJ Mitchell.

For those on the roads across the south of England, there is travel news as it happens. And a smile is promised as the weekend draws to a close.

BBC Radio Solent offers a choice of listening on a Sunday evening, with Bruce on 96.1 and 103.8FM, on 999 and 1359 AM and on the BBC iPlayer.
The Paul Miller Soul Show is on digital radio and the BBC iPlayer.
