Welcome to Air-Britain
One of the world’s leading organisations for aviation enthusiasts!
Since 1948, Air-Britain has been bringing together spotters, historians, aviation writers, pilots and photographers - all having a passion for aircraft and aviation. Air-Britain is an international organisation with over 2,500 members - many of them outside the UK. It is a registered charity (the Air-Britain Trust Ltd.) run by a board of Trustees who are elected by the members of the organisation.
We publish two magazines - the monthly Air-Britain News and the quarterly Aviation World. We also produce authoritative books for the spotting community - and historical books on a wide range of aviation topics.
Join us here and find out about the many faces of Air-Britain and how it can bring you into the exciting world of aviation.

The Civil-Spotters mailing list has been resurrected!![]()
With the kind sponsorship of Air-Britain we have set up a new list at![]()
civil-spotters@groups.io![]()
which we hope will operate in just the same way as previous iterations. Hopefully former members of the list who subsequently joined the CAE group on Facebook will join us by taking up membership of the new list and assist us in returning it to being the successful medium that it has been for the last thirty years! This should be the way to overcome the problems that we experienced with Google Groups.![]()
To start the joining process please send a blank email to![]()
civil-spotters+subscribe@groups.io![]()
You will then receive an email back to which you should respond to confirm your application. The list owners will do their utmost to approve your membership as soon as they can but please keep in mind that it will be quite a busy time for us so you might have to be patient. The Groups.io environment will be a new one for most of us and we will all be feeling our way around while we familiarise ourselves. If you have questions feel free to ask (civil-spotters+owner@groups.io) but be prepared for a delayed reaction!![]()
We should like to thank Air-Britain for their kind co-operation and assistance in this venture.![]()
