January 07 Episode 105: Stars (and bars?) of the Silver Screen
HAPPY NEW YEAR! The UKAR podcast enters 2026 with a bang - we kick off with a Christmas present roundup (don't get your hopes up) and then go into some of the highs and lows of aviation on the big and small screen! We look over the great scenes, the amazing footage and the dreadful plots that abound in aviation movies and shows.

September 04, 2025 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!

About The UK Airshow Review Podcast

From the publisher's feed

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.
