Wonderful stuff. There seems to be a distinct lack of barriers around the Austrian Skyvan.
Thanks for posting.

[warferry]

I was there,( no tee shirt though)Douglas Bader was to, in last shot.
Thanks for loading up these.

[Westy]

I was there too and this show was quite simply the best show Ive ever attended

More fantastic shots of a truly memorable event. The year the Tattoo really took it's place at the top of the International air show scene.
That Herc must've been very close to the photobus!!

[Spiny Norman]

They're terrific. So many great looking aircraft from a golden period of military aviation. Hard to pick a favourite (the F-14 is particularly nice) but those FAA Buccaneers look the job!

[MarkL]

Blimey !

[Leeflyer]

I was there, great scans, excellent

[Wrexham Mackem]

What an utterly superb post. Great stuff Ian, its been great fun looking through these shots a few times.

My personal fave the F1-11 from the photo bus with the flight lines behind but its picky to pick out one here!

[f-4]

Amazing to think this show was closer to the Second World War than today...

Lockheed C-130K Hercules, RAF by Ian Cole, on Flickr

Tried to do a 'then and now' pic with the Hercules - picture taken yesterday to demonstrate how different GC looks now!
However, I'm failing miserably in getting my picture to show - can anyone help please?

Great series - I was there but very few photos

[convair]

My first ever airshow (aged 8) - all I remember is that Lightning take off

[dreamworker]

These are wonderful and great that you took slides and not bloody colour neg !!! What I'd really love to see are more flying shots , and as always , the teams get left out. Do you have any of Patrouille de France and Frecce Tricolori in action ??? Thanks for posting though, at last so more truly "old " stuff.

[Daz]

Wow what a set! The US Navy aircraft are the stars for me

[IanC]

dreamworker - sadly with my equipment then I never got many good flying shots, they all seem too distant and not sharp enough

[POD]

Superb stuff Ian

[Ken Shabby]

Excellent selection - and the Herc in its proper colours.

[keithjs]

Oh yes, I remember it well. My favourite has to be the KC97...
Here's a few shots of what the airfield looks like now...

If you're ever over this way pop in to the tower museum/visitor centre and have a look around. I think you'll like it. You can still walk to the runway cross section where the FIAT enclosure used to be. (photos 1& 6)

I remember the KC-97 arriving, we were camping at the end of the runway to be woken up by the 97 buzzing the tower early in the morning . A rush to get the camera . Just made it, got a couple of shots. Happy days.
