Pooleys 2026 Photographic Competition: The Winners
Thank you to everyone who entered the Pooleys 2026 Photographic Competition. Between May and September you sent us your best aviation photographs, taken from cockpits, airfields and hangars. Picking a winner was not easy.
Winner: Mark Turner
Mark’s photograph shows a red taildragger parked on the grass at a busy fly in. Behind it, a row of hot air balloons rises into a clear sky. Mark wins a 2027 Pooleys Flight Guide package and £250 in Pooleys vouchers, and his image will go on the front cover of the 2027 Pooleys Calendar and the Pooleys Catalogue.
Back cover: Ollie Farrant
Ollie’s photograph takes the back cover of the 2027 Calendar.
