Avgas: Heading for £3 per litre? - The FLYER Show - 26 March 2026

Oil prices are rising quickly and the £3 litre of 100LL avgas is a definite possibility. In some parts of Europe, it’s already close. We take a look at current UK, Europe and USA prices, talk to the suppliers for their view and ask where’s it going?

Plus, in this week’s News
Swift Fuels 100R unleaded avgas is approved for hundreds more aircraft
We look back at the life of Mike Melvill, kitplane builder, test pilot and first civilian astronaut
Ultimate High is having a GA Safety Day at Goodwood

In What Caught Me Eye this week:
Dave finds a simulator of a Thruster microlight for those days when it’s too windy to fly the real thing.
Ian fancies a blend, a blended wing aircraft that is. Two are due to appear at April’s AERO Friedrichshafen show.
Ed finds a seven-tenths scale Junkers Ju-87 Stuka replica for sale. Will he ever stop making that Stuka dive bomber sound?
