Description
British Isles Civil Aircraft Registers Quick Reference – UKQR 2026
Compiled by Don Hewins
Includes constructor’s numbers for all civil-registered aircraft!
This is the 26th edition of our annual publication. The book is current to the end of March 2026, at which time 18,562 aircraft were listed as current on the UK register.
Each year we strive to improve and increase the information we provide to readers. In 2025 we added constructor’s numbers (msns) for all civil-registered aircraft; for 2026 we have introduced a lozenge to indicate new entries added since the last edition.
Contents include:
* Civil registers for the United Kingdom (G-), the Republic of Ireland (EI-), Isle of Man (M-) and Guernsey (2-).
* A list of overseas aircraft resident in the UK and Ireland.
* Lists of military aircraft operated in the UK and Ireland as well as the UK-based elements of the United States Air Force.
* A cross-reference to aircraft markings carried under exemption conditions.
* A brief guide to aircraft that are held in aviation museums and collections.
* A general guide to indicate probable aircraft bases.
