If you're struggling for ideas of what gifts to buy family, friends and co-workers for the Holidays, then maybe we can help you out.

We've set up a 20% discount for month of December on the Flightglobal Image Store (use the following discount code on checkout: SLH10).

There's loads of great gift ideas for people who love aviation and aircraft, both historic and modern.

For example, a canvas-mounted cutaway drawing such as the EA-18G Growler below would look smashing on anyone's wall. A 20inch wide canvas would set you back around £40 (or the equivalent in US Dollars or Euros) + p&p.


Or why not keep your Dad happy with an iconic historical photograph turned into a jigsaw? This jigsaw is made from the image of A.V.Roe walking away from a tricky landing, and costs around £15 +p&p.





Happy shopping!

During the Battle of Britain 70th anniversary celebrations, we're offering 20% off images of aircraft during the 1939 and 1945 period at our Image Store.

Safety and Operations Editor, David Learmount shares some highlights of his recent trip to Iceland.

He visited Reykjavik aerodrome, originally a WW2 base built by the UK Royal Air Force and see some images of the ash as he flew over the volcano as part of an exercise in sharing knowledge learned by the industry from the travel chaos caused by Eyjafjallajökull eruptions in April.

Ever considered wearing your luggage to avoid paying to put your bags in the hold? A UK department store is selling big coat with lots of pockets so passengers can do just that.

"They are putting the new trend down to reports from the shop floor that customers prefer to pack heavier items such as books, towels, electronic net books and cameras, into large pocketed garments, rather than pay fees up to £40 return, charged by some low-cost airlines for cases stowed in the hold, according to an Airline Business blog post.

Unbelievably, it's nearly that time of year again. Christmas, Passover, the Winter Equinox, the Holiday Season ... whatever you call it, it's here in 36 freakin' days!

So if you're like me, any help at all in saving time finding and buying gifts for friends and family is much appreciated.

In which case it's probably worth checking out Flightglobal's festive offers, featuring loads of gift ideas from books, DVDs, and framed cutaways.

And all of these gift ideas are available with a 10% discount up until Christmas with our seasonal sales offer.

Last week Willie Walsh announced proposals to cut airline emissions by half the 2005 level by 2050.

Users on AirSpace are discussing this and some say they've heard all this before. One user suggests airlines "don't expand, and use hydrogen", another says: " aviation should have been included in Kyoto but it is one polluter among many."

A flying programme to celebrate Birmingham International's 70th anniversary included an autogyro, a military air display and a large number of civil aircraft including an imperial Hercules and an Emirates A380 see more of the event on AirSpace.

So many questions arise from a video on the Flight Blog about a low flying fighter jet flying over a man who doesn't seem at all bothered and gives a thumbs up. It can't be real. Can it?

He remains on his feet despite the jet blast. Some say the aircraft's a Mirage, others say a Harrier, and a Super Hornet is another suggestion. Let us know your thoughts.

A Handley Page Victor bomber aptly nicknamed "Teasin' Tina" gave shocked onlookers more than they bargained for when it accidently took off during the Cold War Jets day at Bruntingthorpe Aerodrome.

The Cold War bomber apparently took off as the co-pilot (who was an engineer and not a pilot, cue the "engineers can never be pilots" jokes) accidently hit the throttle when the aircraft was meant to just taxi down the runway for a photo shoot. See footage of the takeoff.

The Flightglobal Image Store launched last week features thousands of historical and modern images, including our extensive technical cutaway drawings with options for potential shoppers to purchase images in their preferred format and style, whether it's on canvas, framed or even as a jigsaw.

Don't forget to follow Stefan on Twitter... He's going to be busy over the next few months. Why not guess where he is from the clues he tweets on his travels.

Just a quick note for all you Flightglobal shopaholics who have been frustrated by our hitherto xenophobic attitudes towards e-commerce.

The Flightglobal Shop now features a multi currency option allowing shoppers to choose between Pounds Sterling, Euros and US Dollars.

Hopefully that should make the shopping experience slightly more usable for our international audience, although whether we'll ever manage to cater for the 220+ different nationalities that visit Flightglobal remains to be seen! If nothing else it would make the drop down option a tad long.

A reminder that the Flightglobal Shop currently stocks a variety of Directories, Reports, DVDs and merchandise, but we're adding more and more products every week.

 

Last week we finally got our new look Flightglobal shop up and running.

And with it comes a much improved user interface for our electronic transactional endeavours.

Flight produces a wealth of material that helps inform various business and organisations and allow them to make effective decisions in a competitive marketplace.

So now we're pleased to have a decent shop for those of you that need to buy a copy of JP Fleets, a business jet handbook or one of Flight Insight's high value reports.

But the fun doesn't stop there. We've also got DVDs, AirSpace t-shirts, caps and laptop bags so our members can kit themselves out.

And in the coming months we'll be adding a selection of cutaway posters and other merchandise - all in time for Christmas. So if you son, dad or colleague is an aviation nut and you're stuck for gift ideas then we might be able to help you out.
