Amazing shots, thanks for sharing. I love the Buccaneers on the ground and Hunter(?).
How stable was the C-130 with that lot moving all that air?

Re: Air to air Shackeltons 1988
A superb set of shots, I can almost hear those growling Griffons - if only we had one on the airshow circuit!

These have to be some of the best Golden Oldies ever posted, quality shots and air to air as well.

Lovely - was this the 8/8/88 event?

Re: Air to air Shackeltons 1988
Yes was the 8/8/88 event. There was no noise from the Shackeltons just the engines from the C-130 with an open door. The only turbulence was from the guys either side of me pushing to get shots. Glad you like the shots.
