About this listen

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 spies the lesser spotted Pasped Skylark… that’s Pasped as in Pas-Ped, not Passed as in Expired.
