FEATURING:

Celebrating the Vulcan
As Vulcan XH558 enters what is likely to be its farewell season, we meet its operators to discuss its past, present and future.

Vietnam Gunship
Philip Chinnery pays tribute to the AC-47 ‘Spooky’ gunships that saved many American lives in the Vietnam War.

Mustang’s Rebel Yell
World War Two veteran Joe Joiner and warbird owner Doug Matthews share a common bond – a Mustang called ‘The Rebel’. Stephen Chapis reports.

Low-level Mosquito
Anthony Howard presents the story of Mosquito navigator Garry Philipson, a master of low-level attacks.

Spotlight: Gloster Meteor
This month Spotlight shines on the groundbreaking Gloster Meteor. The first RAF jet to enter service, the twin-engined fighter soon proved its worth in World War Two, and went on to equip frontline units during the early years of the Cold War. We examine this pioneering machine’s history and the exploits of those who flew them.

Origin and History
We scrutinize the jet fighter’s history.
