    Three fantastic NASA aircraft - The FLYER Show - 9th April 2026

    NASA has created many experimental aircraft over the years and operated many others. In the week Artemis II flew to the Moon and around it for the first time in 53 years, we pick our favourites… and it’s an eclectic mix, we admit. Especially since one of us (DAVE!) mis-understood the brief. No matter, watch, listen and let us know your thoughts! PLUS In the News Great Britain’s Vertical Aerospace has flown the all-important transition test flight, going from vertical take-off to wingborne flight - and raised shedloads of investment cash in the process Poacher turned gamekeeper?

    Avgas: Heading for £3 per litre? - The FLYER Show - 26 March 2026

    Oil prices are rising quickly and the £3 litre of 100LL avgas is a definite possibility. In some parts of Europe, it’s already close. We take a look at current UK, Europe and USA prices, talk to the suppliers for their view and ask where’s it going?

    Hot or Not? Aircraft under £50k

    We set a maximum budget of £50,000 and went looking in the classifieds (and elsewhere) for two choices:  Hot (aircraft we’d really like) and Not (aircraft we’d rather not). Ian falls for a beautifully made Chilton monoplane, even though it’s too small him to fly. Dave eyes a Luscombe (no surprise there) and Ed goes for a Yak 50 even though it’s life limited (the Yak, not Ed). In the news: GASCo starts winding up after 60+ years promoting safety in aviationRed Bull’s Dario Costa lets the train take the strain (and his Edge 540 aircraft)Pilot Careers: Opportunities with Jet2, the new Oxford Airline Training and Leading Edge In What Caught My Eye: Ian is surprised to find a Dyn Aero (now SE Aviation) MCR4S with no windscreen, hard points and a distinctly different purposeDave sees Aerobility being given an all-electric Pipistrel two-seater to take disabled people flyingEd spies the lesser spotted Pasped Skylark… that’s Pasped as in Pas-Ped, not Passed as in Expired.
