Specifically, Envoy IV! The Airspeed Envoy was an Envoy III but I have no idea what Envoy I and II were?

Also interesting that the registration (G-ZAHS) is blurred in a couple of photos in the article, but not on social media.

AAIB report into the 737 landing at Exeter last year. Well, less landing, more flown into the ground with such force to write off the aircraft.

Good article. Retiring the C-130 is an incoherent move

I saw one land at Atsugi when I went to Japan some years ago. It lumbered around the airfield at what seemed an unbelievably slow speed and finally touched down. Great sight though!

Following a relevant discussion while recording the latest ep of the pod, I was reminded of this fantastic article about the DC-2.5, a Frankenstein DC-3 with two different wings:

The NH90 project as a whole just seems to be a complete failure. Australia, Norway, Germany, The Netherlands have all had some pretty serious issues with the type.

I've heard Belgium might be returning the type soon too as well?!

The problem is, what other type is there? Is the H175M the answer now?
