2026 Reunions
Wednesday 16 September 2026
The Air UK 2026 Reunion will take place at Duxford.
Our sincere thanks go to Stephanie Burlison, Trudi Innes and Maria North for organising this year’s reunion.
You can read a review of the 2025 reunion on the 2025 Air UK Reunion Review Page, and view photographs from the day on the 2025 Reunion Photos Page.
On the Day
You may wish to pre-book your visit to Duxford for Wednesday, 16 September 2026. Booking in advance can help minimise queues at the ticket desk and ensure a smoother entry to the museum.
Please aim to arrive between 10:30 and 11:00 and make your way directly to the café, rather than waiting at reception.
If you arrive later in the day, you will still be very welcome, and there’s every chance you’ll spot a familiar face. The café and restaurant areas are always a good place to start.
In previous years, we gathered for a group photograph in front of the Air UK Herald at around 1:00 pm. As G-APWJ has now been relocated to Scotland and replaced by an ex-RAF BAE 146, this aircraft may provide a fitting alternative for this year’s group photo, particularly as Air UK operated the 146 fleet.
Please feel free to share these details with former Air UK colleagues who may not be subscribed to our emails. An announcement has also been posted on the Air UK Facebook page.
2026 Shuttleworth Summer Air Show Meet-Up
With grateful thanks once again to Adele Stephenson for her continued efforts, we are pleased to confirm that, for the fourth year running, we will be holding an informal meet-up at the Shuttleworth Summer Air Show. The event takes place at the Old Warden (Shuttleworth) Aerodrome in Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, on Saturday, 25 July 2026.
Full details of the day’s flying programme and attractions are available on the Shuttleworth Air Show website — simply follow the link for the Summer Air Show on 25 July 2026.
If you would like a preview of what to expect, you can read about the 2025 meet-up and browse photographs from the day in the Shuttleworth Summer Air Show Meet-Up 2025 Review Page.
In recent years, several attendees have chosen to make a weekend of the occasion by taking advantage of the on-site camping facilities at Shuttleworth.
As always, those subscribed to updates will receive email notifications. Further information will also be shared on this page and in the Items of Interest section of the website, so please do check back for the latest news.
