re the An-26, the bleurb says that they’ll be retired at the end of this year. Good on them for getting one to RIAT before then.
They’ve only got one An-26 active

Re: First Show on July 18

£50 may be reasonable for a full car of 4/5/7 people, but for a single person? You’re essentially paying RIAT price (I still maintain that’s too high, but that’s another argument for another time) for a much lesser product.
