Great shots, that Role Demo Tonka steals it for me. Thanks for putting them up.

The "DH9a" shot is a corker too, although in fact it's the Collection's SE5a.

The nimrod that came to be preserved at the rvp at Manchester Airport arriving. I was in crewe at the time I heard she was coming. Glad I had my camera with me. I shot to the airport quickly

I used to love the hunter too.

This one is from a run and break at Kemble Airshow, as you may see Miss Demeanor had a fuel leak for most of her display.

This was a quick visit to Marham while on the way Norwich, It was the only time I saw a Tonka on approach with full wing sweep. The pic isnt very good but I thought it might be ok for a reference pic.

Thanks for posting these, Andrew. Great to see, especially that Tornado wing-swept approach.

and aircraft that needs no introduction, taken by my father I'm lead to believe. I was in the Transit Minibus, My aunt was Accounts Manager at BA Manchester Airport, so I was treated to a day with concorde. ~the day Concorde flew to Madrid on Charter for the World cup Finals in 1982. The next day I flew on her back to Heathrow.
