Hi Everybody
After a short break, I’m pleased to say once again: Welcome back to 10 percent true!
Before I introduce my latest guest, I wanted to say thanks to everyone who has subscribed to my Youtube channel, visited the 10pct facebook page, and otherwise supported the channel.

Speaking of which, my latest guest is Sqn Ldr (ret.) Chris “Toppo” Topham, a retired RAF fighter pilot and someone whose name any Mildenhall Air Fete officiando will recognise as the the pilot who, in 199s, brought the F-117 stealth fighter over to the UK for the first time.
My interview with Toppo is divided into multiple parts, starting with his RAF career flying Jaguars, and concluding with a detailed discussion of his exchange tour flying the Stealth Fighter, and an attack pilot’s assessment of the enigmatic jet.
I started by asking Toppo how he’d got into the flying business.
Enjoy
