About Flying Tin Magazine
An Independent Australian Aviation Publication
Flying Tin is a specialist aviation media platform focused on the documentation, analysis, and preservation of Australian aviation history. Through in-depth articles and multi-part research series, we explore how aviation technology, regulation, and communication systems have shaped flight operations across Australia.
Our work covers civil Aviation, with particular emphasis on early aviation infrastructure, radio communications, air traffic control development, and the people who built Australia’s aviation landscape.
Flying Tin is an independent aviation magazine dedicated to the aircraft, people, and engineering that have shaped flight and continue to influence its future.
We focus on aviation as a discipline, not a spectacle. Our editorial approach values accuracy, context, and respect for the craft of aviation, from historic airframes and classic designs to contemporary developments and industry insight.
Each issue is shaped by careful research, informed perspective, and a commitment to clear, considered storytelling. We favour depth over volume, substance over sensation, and long form journalism over fleeting commentary.
Flying Tin is produced for readers who understand aviation not only as a mode of transport, but as a culture, an industry, and a body of accumulated knowledge.
