Episode 2 of 3

Peter Snow and Andi Peters present the second programme of Planespotting Live where their attention turns to spotting the workhorses of the sky - the short-haul planes.

Peter Snow and Andi Peters present the second programme of Planespotting Live from an aeropark. They are joined by our expert pilot for their incredible knowledge of all the planes currently flying over British airspace.

Zoe Laughlin is out and about with the vintage British aircraft at the aeropark unpicking the engineering that made some of the historic planes there so vital to the future of aviation.

In this episode, our focus turns to the workhorse of the sky, the short-haul plane. Pilot Arthur Williams is at a new location with some avid planespotters ticking off as many of these flights as possible as they fly in and out of UK airspace throughout the hour.

Their mission: to spot as many of the different types of plane in UK airspace as possible, from the common to the unusual. And they are asking the British public to help, by sending in images of their spots. We also learn about the hundreds of different models of commercial, private and military aircraft that are making their way across the skies as we go about our daily lives.
