Fifteenth of January, a year ago, Naomi Murphy and David Jones published the first Locked up Living Podcast. Fifty nine episodes later we return to the very first one in a specially edited version. In this episode Gareth Ross and Lucy Reading told us about their recently published research which describes the social climate across therapeutic and non thereapeutic wings in a high secure prison. Looking back we can see the significance of the finding that a change in culture, which need not be expensive, can make a major change to the rehabilitative effectiveness of a prison setting.

In terms of wealth probably nothing says you’ve made it more than owning a superyacht – unless of course its owning a superyacht with helicopter landing facilities. In this episode we find out about the section of the helicopter industry that operates off these exclusive vessels. Gareth Ross from Superyacht Aviation served 26 years in the UK Royal Navy before finding himself working with crews and owners of superyachts worldwide helping them to safely and efficiently operate helicopters from their floating mansions.  About 3% of superyachts have the ability to land a helicopter on them. The number of such vessels has been growing 10% per year for the last 10 years. Helicopters offer these high net worth owners a quick way to ferry pax and cargo from their yachts to maximise time aboard. For the yacht crews it brings a range of new considerations now that they are involved in aviation. From the flying side of things it means operating at sometimes short notice, often operating away from fixed mantenance facilities and to a moving deck.
