Blueprint Notes
The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is the most produced aircraft in history. Reliable, forgiving, and instantly recognisable, it has introduced more people to flying than any other airplane, a true workhorse of general aviation.

Personal Bond
The Skyhawk represents beginnings. For countless pilots, it was the first cockpit they sat in, the first runway they took off from.

Blueprint Notes
The P2008 is a light aircraft designed for close, connected flying. It has a composite fuselage and high-wing design, which is perfect for touring and taking pictures. It’s also ideal for training.

Personal Bond
This is the plane I’ve flown the most, and one I’m genuinely fond of. It’s small, and you feel everything in the air, but that’s part of what makes it special. This design is a personal salute to the aircraft that taught me what flying feels like.

Blueprint Notes
The Cherokee is a classic in aviation, a low-wing, four-seat trainer known for its stability and reliability. It’s the kind of aircraft that builds confidence in every phase of flight, from short circuits to cross-country cruising.

Personal Bond
I trained on the Piper in the UK, flying out of Biggin Hill. Compared to the lighter aircraft I was used to, it felt solid, steady in the air and smooth on approach. I remember flying at sunset, everything calm, just the plane and the view.

Blueprint Notes
The DR400 is the training aircraft of France. With its bubble canopy, wooden frame, and signature wings, it’s helped thousands of pilots take their very first steps into the sky. This card honours the plane that starts so many journeys.

Personal Bond
I learned to fly in the DR400 on one of my most unforgettable flights that took me over the glaciers of Chamonix in the French Alps. Calm, responsive, and reassuring, it was the perfect aircraft for that kind of magic.
