July 03, 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).

June 01, 2025 Episode 92: Dan and Sam's Excellent American Adventure, Part 2
Heads up: this episode is 2 hours long. We decided to just get it all out in one go rather than go on to a third part, so maybe take this one in a couple of sessions. But it's worth it at the end! Join us as Dan and Sam talk about the rest of their recent trip to the USA. Note to self: don't let Dan drive.

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.
