This newly published volume contains listings for hundreds of light aircraft, microlights, kitplanes and rotorcraft (including a short history, weights, dimensions and photograph for each type), many of which cannot be found in the usual aircraft directories.

Many more light aircraft types, both old and new have been added for this edition and previous entires updated.
Mr Armour has kept to the original aims of including only types that still exist and may be seen in the UK - flying mainly, others static and some waiting to appear from long periods of storage and restoration.
The type classification gets more complicated, with VLAs, SLAs and 450kg microlights. As even the experts are still haggling over which type belongs in which category Mr Armour has largely stuck to his old classifications.
