In this fascinating documentary we meet the people responsible for the smooth running of a major international airport. Running Bristol International is a team effort, from pilots and cabin crew to check-in, safety and security. These people, whatever the weather, are responsible for making sure planes arrive and depart on time.
In this episode, it's the start of another busy day at Bristol Airport. The airport fire team gets down to some serious training and Claire Barbier from British Airways awaits her first solo flight.
This film was first broadcast: 2005

Do train drivers and ship's captains have to check a train or ship personally the way pilots have to check a plane?

Talking of a burning airplane and people escaping "under their own steam", as though flames are not scalding enough.

Loved the Enya song included lol

Do you have the other episodes? Fire fighter olympics

The manual fire fighting, while impressive, seems to go against the latest fire fighting procedures, basically your primary firefighting is to be done using the various nozzles on the trucks and all the foam you have. The truck nozzles have a much higher gallons per minute flow rate than the manual hoses. You basically, very rapidly, drown the burning engine in foam.

2005. Back when Boeing ruled the skies of UK.

Someone looks familiar in this video.

I wonder if Claire ended up going another way than flying crop-dusting. With modern single engine pressurized cabin turboprops there are a lot of options.
