Welcome… …to this special magazine taking a closer look at the


role of the CAA in relation to historic aircraft. It’s an opportunity to share with you more than just an historical record and account of these aircraft, but also an insight into the regulatory work involved in maintaining and returning these aircraft safely to our skies, including case studies detailing restoration projects underway today, bringing this work to life. We also had the privilege of working with the Minister


for Aviation, Robert Courts on this joint CAA and Department for Transport publication; an opportunity for him to share with you all his personal passion and pride in the aviation heritage of our nation. It’s also an opportunity to emphasise the importance this area plays in our General Aviation economy and the inspiration it gives the younger generation to embark on a career in aviation. We hope you enjoy Flying Heritage.
