Civil Aircraft Markings 2026

By Allan S Wright

The new edition of this best-selling annual publication, Civil Aircraft Markings, the 77th, achieves something rather remarkable. The book has been published annually since 1950. We can think of no other aviation title that has reached this milestone. What made the book special all those years ago when it was first conceived and published, it still retains. It remains the most accurate and concise source for up-to-date information on the rapidly changing world of civil aviation.

The book provides the most complete listing available of all the aircraft currently on the UK Civil Aircraft Register; around 20,000 entries are detailed in this section ranging from historic biplanes to the latest airliners and also includes balloons, gliders, microlights and helicopters. Additionally, Civil Aircraft Markings contains the latest civil aircraft registers of Ireland, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Civil aircraft commonly visiting the UK from around the world are also listed. It also provides the common airline flight codes and radio frequencies for major UK airfields.

The new 2026 edition of Civil Aircraft Markings, as with all of those which came before it, has been fully updated and has a completely new photographic section. Compiled by one of the UK's most widely respected aviation authors, its publication is eagerly awaited every spring by a legion of civil aviation enthusiasts and aviation professionals for whom it is an essential reference source.
