“Can’t wait. It’s genuinely one of the highlights of my year.”

Tom told his followers he had a “passion” for aviation, was in the Air Cadets in his youth, and even got his pilot’s licence.

After being a regular visitor to the air tattoo for several years, he has been asked to host a talk about his experiences of flying, writing book and music, and other topics.

Tom will be one of many speakers on the stage across the weekend, while attendees will also be treated to 18 hours of aerial displays.
