The Flying Reporter

Our MC for the 2024 Live Lounge series is pilot Jon Hunt, aka 'The Flying Reporter'

Jon was a television reporter and presenter and also a producer/director on popular programmes such as Watchdog and Rogue Traders. He left the BBC 3 years ago and now arguably the best-known general aviation YouTuber in the UK. In his own talk Jon will talk about his 30 year career in broadcasting at the BBC, and how that then led to the inception of The Flying Reporter YouTube channel.
