A few memory jolters from me then. No photo bus trip this year, as they'd been scaled right back. So starting with a wander round some statics.
and on to some moving aircraft
some airshow scenes are timeless
and some of their time
Marche Verte trailing their ties by this stage of the display
brand spanking new - the first time we saw Patrouille Suisse with F-5Es
and the last time for those much maligned and under rated Grasshoppers
and I suspect the flying appearance for the Wessex too
Team Duha were a sight and sound to behold
Let me just go a little OTT on the Viggen display here
Veterans were flown in for the Victory salute by Tiger Moth
I won't describe the finale as its described in the programme below. The sky and ground were full, like a Wilf Hardy come to life.
and finally, here's a flick through the programme and a vintage FIAT badge. None of those fancy lanyards in those days!
I would have been most annoyed that the Mossie's home base was printed as Woodford!
I hope you enjoyed the memories folks.
cheers,
Nige.
