BAE Systems
This 132-page British Aerospace and BAE SYSTEMS publication, written by renowned author Stephen Skinner, commemorates the 40th birthday of one of Britain’s most important companies. In April 1977, the UK’s airframe companies were merged to become British Aerospace (BAe). The newly-formed company inherited several military programmes; the Tornado, Jaguar, Harrier and Hawk which assured work for this part of the organisation. The civil side was less secure as its major products were mostly at the end of production. To maintain BAe’s position in this sector, the 125 and Jetstream were further developed, the company re-joined the Airbus consortium and BAe146 received the go-ahead.
Using extensive archive images, inside comment and researchers, this bookazine presents an incredible salute to Britain’s foremost post-war aircraft manufacturers.

What Our Customers Say
A magazine that truly inspires
I’ve been reading Airliner World for as long as I can remember. A magazine that truly inspires, with great articles and beautiful pictures.
Aaron B
Best on the market
I’d say Airfix Model World is the best on the market. Well laid out, well written and plenty of diversity. Definitely the magazine the others strive to beat
Tim H
Most technically accurate railway magazine
Modern Railways is the most technically accurate railway magazine in the business and with writers of the calibre of Ford, Walmsley and Willias, what is not to like?
Graham H
Gets better every year
I have almost every issue of FlyPast and it gets better every year. Great detailed articles and enjoyable stories in each issue
David L
Spectacular imagery
Between the spectacular imagery and timely articles, I can think of no better magazine related to modern military aviation than Combat Aircraft
Roger F
Subscribing since the 80's!
I started buying Aeroplane Monthly in ‘76 or ‘77. By the early 80’s I bought a subscription and I still have it. I love the magazine.
