Alconbury, 91/92
Alconbury, 91/92
Just a dozen from Alconbury air shows in 91 or 92, Negatives and prints have got a bit mixed up over the years, but I managed to make the last 2 shows there. I've got more, which I will get scanned eventually. I hope they are of some interest, thanks for looking.
Oops! Its been subsequently pointed out there may be 3 interlopers from Upper Heyford in there...

There are some gems here. Unmistakably Alconbury too, much missed.

Was this one of the years with the mass line up of A10's, all with great nose-art? As i recall they had just returned from the gulf???

It was Tankbuster, I think I sent you some images of them IIRC.

I must check that, my memory isn't as good as it could be these days. Thanks, Mark.

Like the KC-135. In those days they could get away with images like that, although if I remember correctly in this case the painting of her face left something to be desired!

OFMC. Mark Hanna may well be at the controls.
Re: Alconbury, 91/92
Re the T-33 it is indeed the Old Flying Machine Company aircraft N33VC, with Mark Hanna in the front seat and myself in the rear seat, Happy Days !

Great set but the Hansa Jet & IS F-15 were taken at Upper Heyford

Yeh, schoolboy error, but in defence I did say there were three interlopers in my pre photo waffle
