Explore the surviving aircraft and aviation collections of Britain and Ireland with this revised 30th edition of Wrecks & Relics. Covering more than 700 locations and over 4,000 aircraft, the guide brings together aircraft histories, former identities and arrival dates in one reference.

David Willis takes over from long-standing author Ken Ellis after contributing to recent editions. The book continues a series that began in the 1960s, documenting developments in aviation preservation for enthusiasts, historians, restoration teams and museum curators.

Coverage extends beyond museum galleries to flying collections, restoration workshops, aircraft displayed at military entrances, stored machines and airframes used for instruction. It also records aircraft that have found unexpected second lives, including accommodation and paintball attractions, revealing how widely aviation heritage survives outside conventional collections.

Colour and black-and-white photographs accompany the entries, while the index helps readers locate particular aircraft types and plan visits. Whether used to prepare an aviation-themed outing or kept close at hand for research, this edition offers a detailed survey of preserved, stored and repurposed aircraft across the British Isles.
