Every now and then the team at the Midlands Air Festival runs across a sheer delight and this is one of those times. We are delighted to announce that we have invited ‘Skippy’ Mazzuchetti to bring his immaculate Spartan Executive 7W to display for us from France!

In amongst the roar of our classic jets and the howl of our warbirds, listen out for the buzz saw sound of our smallest display item, the spectacular Calidus autogyro flown by the world’s greatest gyroplane display pilot, Peter Davis!

If you have never been to the Midlands Air Festival Nightfire show yet, then you are really missing out one of the Midland’s most spectacular family shows! The fabulous Chris Burkett and Sydney Charles Display team will take the skies with their pyrotechnic displays!

And now for something completely different! The Midlands Air Festival is extremely pleased to announce that the Grumman Turbo Firecat will be appearing at the festival with an amazing display and role demonstration of water bombing! midlandsairfestival.com

29 - 31 May 2026 | Ragley Hall, Warwickshire | midlandsairfestival.com/tickets We think it’s time for the Midlands Air Festival to announce some rolling thunder of its own, so we are pleased to welcome the first appearance of the MiG 17F all the way from Poland!

Time for some heavy metal at this year’s Midlands Air Festival as we welcome the Rescue Pair team of the world’s only airworthy Westland Whirlwind and the much-loved heli-giant, the Westland Sea King. These two will seriously make the earth move for you once they take off!

@johnnyedwardfap @sentdefender Because Australia was the first export customer.

@sentdefender Why’s it named after the Australian capital? Curious

A WB-57F “Canberra” Long-Range High-Altitude Research Aircraft with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) made a gear-up landing this morning at Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston, Texas, at around 11:30 a.m., following a reported “mechanical issue” which caused a serious malfunction and failure in the landing gear of the WB-57F.

Happy New Year everyone!
