In this episode Dave Homewood talks with the team behind the brilliant new magazine, The Vintage Aviation Echo. Joining Dave on this show are 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.
