The UK Airshow Review Podcast

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.
