Description
The UK Airshow Review Podcast is an informal chat between the UKAR writing team that originally came about as a response to the effects that the COVID-19 crisis had on the UK airshow scene. We talk about our thoughts and feelings on the British airshow world, invoke memories and reflections from our experiences of the airshow and aviation hobby and offer informed - and not so informed - opinions on the goings-on in the industry.
We also host the series Display Frequency, some nine episodes of incisive, professional interview and analysis of the airshow industry hosted and produced by former UKAR Staff member Dan O’Hagan, a global sports broadcaster and Senior Commentator at the Royal International Air Tattoo from 2009-2012.

We're back for our annual RIAT preview episode. We round up what we're looking forward to the most, how we think the show is going to go and what we think the weather is going to be like...
Sadly, however, a shadow is cast over this episode by the very late announcement of the changes to the FRIAT 2025 grandstand, which we discuss and heavily criticise.

Round'em up Cowboy! It's been a while since we've pored over the RIAT participants list for you, so we decided to go back down the list of the last few weeks and chat about some of the highlights that are starting to come out now. Dom gives us a taste of the Abingdon nightshoot - although Abingdon has now been postponed, sadly - and then goes off on another of his trademark rants. Tom also tells us about his visit of the Swedish Air Force Flight School where they operate the SK.60.

We are joined on the podcast for this episode by two guests from the Royal Air Force's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (BBMF), Squadron Leader Mark Sugden, OC BBMF and Flight Lieutenant Seb Davey, Bomber Leader.
In an enthralling session Mark and Seb answer our questions about the Flight and talk us through what representing the RAF's volunteer historical unit involves, what sets the BBMF apart from both the wider service and civilian operators and how you go from flying an A400M Atlas to an Avro Lancaster.

It's episode 69 (nice) of the UK Airshow Review podcast, and we're here to discuss a roundup of some airshow news that's broken since our last regular episode, the first "Take Off Thursday" (ie regular RIAT weekly update), and we then pick Dan's brains on what life in an airline is actually like on a day-to-day basis.

We are joined for this episode by Trevor Graham, one of the founders of the now staple of the UK airshow scene Midlands Air Festival.

It felt like a shame to let all those cuttings on Ian's mixing studio floor go to waste so as a little treat we've put together another short blooper reel for you. Be warned, strong language within!

Following our last episode, we're back with Richard Grace at Ultimate Warbird Flights to talk about the company's operations, the processes of restoring and flying vintage aircraft, and why you should never fly a WWI fighter. We also get the lowdown on their latest restoration, P-51D Jersey Jerk!

The UKAR Podcast team travelled to Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire to sit down with Richard Grace, Director and Chief Engineer of Ultimate Warbird Flights, to discuss his upcoming show for this season, Sywell 2024. Having expressed so much excitement over the last few episodes for this we were lucky to have the opportunity to chat with Richard about what the show is going to look like and what airshowgoers can expect to see.
Sadly, a technical issue meant the audio on this episode wasn't perfect, but next episode should be absolutely crystal clear!
