I went to Landivisiau with Dave Leaver catching the overnight Plymouth – Roscoff ferry, quite adventurous for us. Hoping to see French Navy types and were not disappointed, I think the only type absent was the Fouga CM.165 Zepher. There was a Xingu but not easily photographed. (Check out the Paris, ...

I spent a lot of time looking over the fence at Owl End, RAF Alconbury in the 80s. There was usually plenty of action with the based aircraft and visitors. I was lucky enough to visit on this occasion when the TR-1B was also in residence doing circuits. Sorry about the quality of these scans, but it...

A selection of aircraft taken at the Kbely Air Show. As we had access the day before, we managed to get photos of aircraft, some of which did not form part of the show. They appeared to be a mixture of test, museum bound, technical training and other aircraft which were just there following their fi...

A selection of mainly Czechoslovakian Air Force aircraft at the Kbely Open Day 13 September 1991. This show provided many "Firsts" for my types log book. 0830 Mil-17 “Hip” http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa404/stevend10/Kbely%2013%20September%201991/7016.jpg 0827 Mil-17 ”Hip” http://i1...

I went to the Czechoslovakian air day at Kbely with Keith Tailby and Ali Hunt on 13 September 1991. We managed to get in on the arrivals/preview day and this allowed us to get air-side. This Mig-21U was used for ejector seat trials and served with the VZLU the Czechoslovak Aerospace Research and Tes...

Ref. Stickshaker. I've checked my photos and there were 5 Hawks at Taszar XX175, XX238, XX225, XX224 and XX163. I've only got photos of them taxiing. But I will add them to this post when I've tidied them up a bit.

Photos taken of Czechoslovak Air Force aircraft at Bratislava Open Day, Czechoslovakia 4 September 1992. Another trip taken with Keith. 6102 Ilyushin IL-14 FG "Crate" FLS http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa404/stevend10/Bratislava%20Air%20Show%204%20Sept%2092/6102-IL-14FG-Crate-FLS-R.jp...

Great shots, so sharp and great compositions. Loving the Saab against the trees.

Took a long drive from Dusseldorf to Taszar, Hungary with Keith Tailby (are you out there ?) for company. Managed to get access the day before the show and had unrestricted photo opportunities of amongst others my first Mig-21 two seat. 6009 Mig-21bis “Fishbed-L” http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/...

These were taken at “Helitech 89” a small trade show held at Redhill Aerodrome in Surrey 19 September 1989. I had heard that there was to be a Russian contingent but was very surprised by the quantity and quality. I think that this was the first and only time in the UK for some of these types. There...
