Regrettably I don't have shots like this, so these are great to see, chaps!
Those Chinook schemes never cease to amaze me.

Not so much Desert Pink as Desert Beige from the Italians. All from IAT 1991, apologies for the quality but time has taken its toll with the negs.

Nice idea for a thread.
IAT 93
Finningley 91
also Finningley 91
I have loads more, the 91 season was an absolute bonanza. I'll have a flick through what I have scanned in due course

Re: "PINK PANTHERS" - Desert Storm / Granby 25th Anniversary
Here's yet another pack of three.
This time Woodford in 91:
purely from memory, this Puma crashed shortly after the show, maybe even on the way home. Can anyone confirm?
excuse the dodgy pic here, its included as that is a captured Scud in the background

Re: "PINK PANTHERS" - Desert Storm / Granby 25th Anniversary
just two here, but my personal favourite, and just to note how matt the pink was. Take note every museum and custodian that should know better than to paint a supposedly representative museum piece gloss!
