To those of our customers who celebrate it, the entire Aviation Workshop team would like to wish you all a very happy and enjoyable Christmas. We would like to make a special mention to all of those armed forces personnel serving overseas at present time and unable to be at home with family and friends for the Christmas break. Our thoughts and very best regards go out to you all. Merry Christmas.
Posted: 23rd December, 2008
We would like to thank all of our customers who have placed orders over the past month or so. Despite a very long queue and a significant pile up our dispatch team has been working flat out to ensure that the majority would make it out of the doors in time to be wrapped and under the tree before Christmas day! There have been a very large number of requests placed over this time but particular thanks must go to Sam Scott who has handled the majority of these dispatches and has done so with great care and enthusiasm. Without his dedicated efforts to process these orders we would not have been able to fulfil many of them in time. We estimate that 95% of those orders placed in good time for Christmas have now left us and should now have been delivered before the postal services pause for a few days themselves! Thank you.
Please note: Due to the large influx of orders we have had to make the decision to delay processing of MA-9034 (Jaguar Retirement Scheme) back orders until business resumes again after Christmas. This was done to ensure that the majority of orders placed specifically with Christmas in mind were dispatched in time for customers purchasing for gifts. The new batch of Jaguar sheets have however been packed during that time and will begin to be processed at the first opportunity. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
Posted: 23rd December, 2008

Unfortunately, due to problems outside of our control which escalated towards the tail end of last week (24th-28th March) we have experienced some dispatch delays which may have affected some of our customers. Although most orders placed towards the beginning of the week were dispatched on time it is possible the those placed later will be delayed slightly. We are doing everything that we can to remedy the situation but unluckily this has occurred at a time where other individuals are on holiday and as such we are very short staffed! We are attempting to respond to all enquires but if you still have an unanswered enquiry on 4th April then please do feel free to resubmit it at that time. It is hoped that things will start to return to normal next week but we ask you to bear with us as we do all we can to keep up. Thank you.

Although a Limited Edition, we have received many requests to start a second print run of On Target Special 3: Wings of Silver. Due to the popular demand it has been decided to make a very small number of new copies available to anyone who did not manage to acquire the book before it sold out. The book's sequel focuses on the Royal Naval Air Service over a similar period and is currently in production, named Wings and Waves.

As you may have noticed, it's finally here - Welcome to the new Aviation Workshop website!
We've been working extremely hard to redevelop our website so as to provide you, our customer, with a far better service and more information about all our current and future work. As if taking a leaf out of the book of Eurofighter Typhoon we will be running this improvement in a number of distinct tranches! All of our current publications are listed and we will be adding further details of kits and the resin range over the coming weeks.
