In this episode, we properly get stuck into what’s been happening in the aviation world lately. We chat through some of the biggest recent aviation news stories and give our thoughts on what they actually mean and not just the headlines, but the stuff fans and spotters really care about.

Of course, we couldn’t not talk about the Hampshire Airshow. We go through the latest updates, what’s been announced so far, and what we’re genuinely excited about heading into the 2026 season. There’s something special about seeing those aircraft confirmations drop, whether it’s a classic warbird, a fast jet, or something a bit unexpected and we break down which announcements have caught our attention the most.

In this episode, we dive into all things Blackpool Airshow — from flying over the Irish Sea to the atmosphere on the promenade. We break down the latest airshow announcements, including updates from Hampshire and the Midlands circuit, and talk through the buzz around the new Proteus helicopter. If you’re into fast jets, coastal displays, and the future of the UK airshow scene, this one’s for you.

Welcome to The Display Line, your front-row seat to all things aviation! In our very first episode, we introduce ourselves and the podcast, share our plans for future episodes, and give you a taste of what’s coming with Take Off Thursdays.

We’ll dive into predictions for upcoming airshows, reminisce about previous Royal International Air Tattoos, and give you a behind-the-scenes look at vlogging the event. Plus, we outline our recording schedule and what you can expect from Episode 2 and beyond.
