I am sure most people here who are fans of vintage and warbird aeroplanes will have heard of the amazing new magazine, The Vintage Aviation Echo. Recently I got to interview the team behind it, the magazine’s editor, Elliott Marsh-Healy, sub-editor Greg Marsh, editor-at-large Huw Hopkins, photographer and visuals lead Harry Measures, and graphic designer Ollie Stevenson.
The guys talk about their background in aviation, and their passion for the warbird scene – both the aeroplanes and the people involved. They speak about how The Vintage Aviation Echo came about, first as a fantastic website and now as a gorgeously printed in-depth magazine. And the team also discusses the UK airshow scene and the warbird restorations that they most look forward to seeing in the air in the near future.
And as an exclusive to The Wings Over New Zealand Show, we get to see the first preview of an article that will be upcoming in the future Volume II, that will be out around May 2025. To see this preview, you can watch the YouTube version of this episode below.

Elliott made a short presentation at the Historic Aircraft Association annual symposium at Hendon on Saturday, and I think did very well with sales. I bought one, my friend bought three(!) and many others were buying also.
To say magazine hardly does it justice, it is really a book with soft covers. In my opinion, it is the most lovingly designed, stylishly presented body of aviation literature that I can recall. It could only have been compiled by people with a deep understanding and love of vintage aviation.
A couple of years ago, I posted on here that the content of their website was too good simply to hang ( and eventually disappear) in the virtual world, and it is very pleasing to see it now turned into a permanent and accessible form, to dive into and cherish.
