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 get the gang back together - to discuss the apocalypse? A couple of weeks ago a bunch of us trotted over to watch a bunch of United States Air Force bombers at RAF Fairford, deployed there as part of one of the most catastrophic wars in living memory that is likely to have cataclysmic lasting effects across the globe. B-1s are quite cool though, in fairness.

The aviation enthusiast community has lost its mind recently with a self-imposed censorship of aircraft movements under the thoroughly misunderstood notion of OPSEC. We discuss.
