Episode 99: Paul Gibbs, commercial pilot, Trago Mills SAH-1 and Tipsy Nipper owner
For episode 99 we are joined by great friend of UKAR and the podcast, commercial and private pilot, obscure aircraft enjoyer and airshow participant, Paul Gibbs! If you don't know him by name, you will surely know him by plane - the owner and pilot of the Trago Mills SAH-1 and Tipsy Nipper T.66 that have attended UK shows as well as a pilot with AirTask who attended RIAT 2025 with the F406 and Dash-8-100.
We chat to Paul about his surprisingly remarkable flying career and the types he's flown, but frankly we'll be having him again on the podcast because we barely touched half of what we wanted to chat about. Watch this space!

Episode 98: RIAT 2025 Review and Roundup
It's been a couple of weeks, we've relaxed, we've recuperated, we've recovered, we've deleted all our blurry, out-of-focus shots, and now we're here to round up the highs and lows of RIAT 2025.

Episode 95: Hyères and There
A nice, tidy, does what it says on the tin airshow review episode: Dom recounts the Shuttleworth Festival of Flight, probably one of the airshows of the year, and Tom tells us (a bit belatedly) about his trip to celebrate the 100th anniversary of BAN Hyeres on the south coast of France (not a bit jealous).

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.
