Slightly surprised to not have seen any other threads from Newark's excellent 'fest on here... So I thought I'd post the few pics I got. Some you may have already seen on the Meteor 788 thread, sorry not sorry!
On we go. Meteor ( I was always likely to start with a Meteor!) T.7 VZ634
With Jindivik A92-708 for company
The resident Vulcan, XM594, undergoing some major work
The other Avro 'heavy' on site, Shackleton MR.3/3 WR977, in the company of HP Hastings TG517
A visiting exhibit, very much live Westland Scout XV130
Resident Buccaneer S.1 XN964
Her 'office'
The call of the dayglo was too much!
Recently repainted Canberra T.19 WH904
Staying outdoors, time for another Meteor. This time NF.14 WS739
Near which was parked visiting Piston Provost cockpit owned by Max Blood
Back towards the hangars was visiting Shackleton VP293 "Zebedee"'s cockpit section. Makes a great viewpoint! Shack photographed from a Shack (not a common opportunity)
It's behind the banana bomber. Trust me... Also from the Shack's starboard window, a view of some of the participants
Into the hangar, past the guard labrador which looks like it ought to take the advice of its pal the German Shepherd and really lay off the recreational drugs!
Have another Meteor. FR.9 (mod) VZ608
Rich Woods' Boeing B-29 work in progress, accompanying my Lincoln and the WS788 display
Oh look, another Meteor! This time the rather nice and unique surviving NF.12, WS692
Near which could be found Darren Swinn and his son Karl's Lightning cockpit rig. And my Snoopy....
Also over here a DH Chipmunk, and some ATC cadets in serious need of some sun! T.10 WB624
A little further along, another proper rarity of a type was represented, Bristol Brigand cockpit rig
Finally, Colin Savill and Ken Ellis with the resident T-33
Just 2 of the team who work hard to bring this event to fruition! Apparently there's some shady bloke called Howard who dabbles around with the event too...
Anyway thanks Newark, see you for 'fest 2023 all being well!

Another great set of photos that are much appreciated by a "shady bloke" who's still testing positive the moment!

Thank you - feeling OK but trying to do the right thing by limiting any contacts!
