Mike Miller-Smith, CEO at the charity said “Having developed the Armchair Airshow in response to the pandemic, it has taken-on its own life and embedded itself in the national airshow calendar.

"With support from organisations such as Aerobytes, London Biggin Hill Airport and the Department for Transport, the show continues to grow every year, providing inspiration, through aviation to the tens of thousands of people that tune-in. We could not do it without the amazing support of aviation community. We cannot thank them enough.

"To watch the show, simply head to www.ArmchairAirshow.com on the 28th May. We hope as many people as possible will tune-in and support the charity, we promise it will be worth it.”

David Winstanley, CEO at London Biggin Hill Airport said “We are delighted to once again be supporting the Armchair Airshow.
