A new TV series giving Britain a 'behind the scenes' view at Heathrow Airport 'takes off' on Wednesday - and 20-year-old Langley man Matt Araguez is one of the stars.

He features in the opening edition of the third season of the show Heathrow: Britain's Busiest Airport.

Mr Araguez is an apprentice at the airport and will be shown working alongside airside engineer Mo Kashmiri.

Mr Kashmari was an apprentice himself once and has now worked at the airport for 10 years.

He will be seen taking Mr Araguez under his wing for some on site experience in Wednesday's episode.

Mr Kashmari said: “We had loads of good banter with the television crew and quite literally blew them away on the airfield being so close to the action.

“The best part of my role is driving around the airfield getting close to planes, where the public wouldn't usually see.”

It did not take along for his new apprentice to share his enthusiasm.

Mr Araguez - a former pupil at St Bernard's Catholic Grammar School in Langley - says he was encouraged by his brothers to become an engineering apprentice at Heathrow in September 2015.

He said: “I saw the progression my brothers were making in the programme and decided to give it a go.

“I’ve been given a taste of various disciplines of engineering and have learnt through both classroom and real world experience, some of which you will see in HBBA on Wednesday.”
