Episode 22: Dave Walton, Flying Display Director

The role of Flying Display Director is one that is absolutely essential to the airshow world, one that most enthusiasts are aware of but that most people probably don't really know what it actually involves. We spoke with Dave Walton, director of TSA Consulting Ltd, who has been a Flying Display Director (FDD) for many years and has been involved in the global airshow industry for even longer, for a genuinely fascinating chat about what the position entails and what an FDD does over an airshow season as well as picking his brains on the state of many aspects of the industry.

Om Podcasten

The UK Airshow Review Podcast is an informal chat between the UKAR writing team that originally came about as a response to the effects that the COVID-19 crisis had on the UK airshow scene. We talk about our thoughts and feelings on the British airshow world, invoke memories and reflections from our experiences of the airshow and aviation hobby and offer informed - and not so informed - opinions on the goings-on in the industry. We also host the series Display Frequency, some nine episodes of incisive, professional interview and analysis of the airshow industry hosted and produced by former UKAR Staff member Dan O’Hagan, a global sports broadcaster and Senior Commentator at the Royal International Air Tattoo from 2009-2012.
