Welcome to Hush-Kit: Military aviation without the bullshit

Thanks for subscribing to Hush-Kit!

Since 2012, we’ve been bringing you independent aviation journalism, deeply researched history, extraordinary interviews, informed analysis and irreverent humour.

Expect fascinating long reads, forgotten aircraft projects, Cold War secrets, interviews with pilots who’ve flown everything from the Sea Fury to the F-117, and writing from some of the most interesting voices in aviation. Some of our articles are written by military pilots themselves, bringing first-hand operational experience to the stories we tell.

We’re also rather fond of the long read. Original interviews, archival research, historical detective work and proper analysis. We believe some aviation stories deserve 5,000 words, not 500.

No breathless press releases. No war worship. No flag-waving. Just fascinating aviation, treated seriously but never too seriously.

A little something extra for paid subscribers

Existing and new paid subscribers can request a discount code for the fantastic Hush-Kit Book of Warplanes. With an RRP of £35, you can get a copy for a frankly scandalous £15 (plus P&P). Just message me for your code. Available while stocks last.

Thanks for being part of Hush-Kit. There’s plenty to explore, and we’re delighted to have you aboard.

Military aviation is fascinating enough without the propaganda.
