S9 Ep 333 Specialist Guest: Submariner George Aitken

Specialist guest George Aitken was in the Royal Navy Submarines for 10 years. David & Joe have a thousand questions for him but start with small talk about coming from the Isle Of Wight, filming in Lymington and Howards Way. David gets claustrophobia and wants to know about people who have lost their minds on board, how much space he'd have down there and what would happen if he had a panic attack. George tells them there are 100 or more crew living in a confined space and it can get a bit stinky. Joe reckons he would be fine living in a tube underwater as it would be cosy. They talk about stalking other submarines to gain intel and using mini subs to get to the surface to undertake secret missions James Bond style. David asks if they've ever come across an unidentified mass on the sonar. George says this is usually a whale or a giant squid mating with the submarine. Joe asks if there is any truth behind the saying of having a girl in every port.
