I remember that year at St Mawgan, the main hardstanding seems to have been coated with a brown 'wash' - you can see it in some of your pics.
Great pics & happy memories
My abiding memory of that show was the poxy weather. A number of tasty exhibits tried and failed to get in because the cloud base was so low. The display by XL426 was worth waiting for though. One of the best Vulcan displays I have ever seen.
Yes - was that the year that a number of French exotica were due in on the day - I'm thinking Mirage IVs & F8 Crusaders etc but 20kt fog kept them at bay. Come the early evening, the front passed through and weather cleared. Or was that 84?
I do miss St Mawgan airshows - the last I attended was 1991 which was a superb show (GW1 airshow). Would never have thought at that time the RAF would move out and is now only known as 'Newquay Airport'. It's still St Mawgan to me though.
