The History of the Antique Airshow
Hi,
I'm Jarryd, the creator of The Antique Airshow. Welcome to a place where we fly through aviation history to uncover the stories of the pilots and aircraft of yesteryears.
The Antique Airshow was originally created in 2019 as a YouTube Channel under the name Tomato Eins. In late 2023/ early 2024 the name was updated to The Antique Airshow. Over the past few years, the channel has grown significantly, and it has come a long way since the first video. Today the channel has over 7,500 subscribers, an incredible 1 million views and over 50 videos. Throughout I have learnt many lessons on producing high quality historical accounts.
At its core The Antique Airshow was set up in an effort to share to as many people as possible the facts of both famous and lesser-known aircraft and their related stories. This website is an extension of the work I share on YouTube, attempting to further that reach and to allow more people access to the stories of historical aviation. Throughout the website you will find stories surrounding different aircraft, pilots and historical events.
I hope you enjoy the content of this website and are able to learn something new. If you have any questions or queries do not hesitate to reach out.

About Me
My name is Jarryd and for the past 5 years I have run The Antique Airshow (formally Tomato Eins).
Since a little boy, I've been fascinated by powered flight. Watching the 1969 classic movie,' The Battle of Britain', as a 6-year-old captivated my imagination. Ever since my passion for historic aircraft and aviation in general has only grown.
I am currently in the final stages of studying a Bachelor of Arts (major in International Relations and minor in History). I have also achieved an associate degree of teacher education. At the end of 2023 I was luckily enough to have a piece on the Battle of the Bismarck Sea published in the Aviation Historian.

Importantly though what drives this website is my passion for everything planes and history related.
