Yep, Finningley '81 would have been held in September, Falklands War was April - June '82.
I would suggest these shots are from different years.

Re: RAF Finningley Airshow 1982
I know this an old post but I can confirm that this is the '81 airshow...have a look at this video which I just converted from an old cine film I have Skip to 1m10s... m How can it be the 1981 show when there's Argentinian stuff on display.

Re: BBC Website stand by their inaccurate Shoreham diagram !
I've got an idea, instead of getting upset every time you listen to/ watch on TV/ read in a newspaper a piece of journalism, why not just ignore it and move on. By your own admission, complaining is not doing any good so forget it.
All this anger towards the press is making yourselves ill.

Re: Greatest random sightings?.
My two best randoms are....1947 Roswell, saw some weird stuff fly over, then I was out for a walk in Rendlesham Forest in 1980. Whoa, would seriously like to hear about what you saw, but I'm assuming you're not allowed to discuss it. Are you ex US military? Actually forget that, that's probably off...

Re: Battle of Britain Day Commemoration at Goodwood
It is generally regarded the 11 Group, Fighter Command were the main defenders during the Battle of Britain and the furthest west that they were based was Middle Wallop in Hampshire. We should remember that, whilst there were other skirmishes in other parts of Britain during the summer of 1940, it ...

Re: How we react to fatal accidents
I would argue the 'press' would choose this site to get their meaty stories.
If I were a journo., I'd be going to a site with people who actually have knowledge of such subjects.

Re: How we react to fatal accidents
What I find a strange reaction on UKAR is the selective nature of members when paying tribute to those that have died in crashes.
Not a single offer of condolence to any of the flight crew/passengers who tragically lost their lives in other accidents over the weekend.

So what's the definition of a 'war bird'? I'd assumed it was a type of aeroplane that had flown in the war?

Re: The 'how early are you getting up in the morning thread?
Met an old friend who'd come down from Huddersfield, which I think is the same neck of the woods.
He said he left at 3am and was straight to on base at 6.40, including 2 toilet stops. Think he said he went down the M6.
