The FLYER Show: 19 February 2026
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 aviation
- Red 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 purpose
- Dave sees Aerobility being given an all-electric Pipistrel two-seater to take disabled people flying
- Ed has trousered-undercarriage overload with the fabulously restored Pasped Skylark.
