Some more slide scans from 1992 and a glorious early summer, well Wattisham was a bit cloudy.
Lyneham held a fine families day on 20th June with displays from the home team Hercules, Buccaneer, Jaguar, Hawk, Mosquito, Tigercat, Lancaster & Spitfire from BBMF, Puma and a couple of Vulcan flypasts. An interesting Canadian Convair was on base, but I shot everything from outside that year.

Not sure about the Dominie but that sort of thing was usually a result of some sort of 'zapping' activity on a static or other landaway.
