Discovery Wings was a British TV channel devoted to documentaries regarding aircraft and as a brand extension of Wings, a staple documentary programme of the Discovery Channel throughout the 1990s.
The channel initially began broadcasting exclusively on the On Digital service as an evenings/overnight channel, timesharing with Discovery Kids.
[1] However, it was only available on that platform for around 18 months because on 12 October 2001 it was announced that the main Discovery Channel would launch on ITV Digital on 17 October, with Discovery announcing that it would fully replace both Kids and Wings on 18 November.
In the UK, Discovery Wings was axed in favour of a new channel called Discovery Turbo, on 1 March 2007 whose remit was widened to include also programmes related to speed and all motor vehicles.
