A few old 'Frightnings'

[paddyboy]

Hi Peeps

Had my delving interrupted by the dreadful words from SWMBO.....

'Time you got up into the loft for the Xmas tree and decorations'

3hrs later I have been released from duty, so sorted these old negs out

Back to normal with the book-keeping, so zilch info on dates and places

Hope they are worth a peek

Now off for a well-deserved (IMHO) mug of Assam

Best regards as always

Some great pics there. Always regret not doing much photography back in the 80s.

Yes that dreaded time again!!

As for the Lightnings - great stuff!

Always good to see those camo lightnings - and those F3's were a regular at the airshows

Shot of the F3 getting airborne is a cracker

Hi Paddyboy...Great shots of AQ at Alconbury.That was my first show, after picking up my interest in aircraft again, & recovering from a beer hazed life
I remember it, by all the works they were doing at the time(1987). Nice scans BTW...

Well done Paddyboy
That Postie has certainly delivered some extra festive cheer on a sunday afternoon!

Great start to the afternoon.
AQ's display was awesome. I recall his vertical departure. "Ladies and gentlemen, the pilot will report when he reaches 40,000 feet." We didn't have to wait long.

Lovely pics, Patrick. Not doing Christmas this year, down at No.2 daughters in Bristol, so no trees or deccies to do!. Wished she lived in Hawaii!!. Make sure you declare ALL your Christmas boxes from your generous public for tax purposes!!!. You and Ann have a good one!. See you in New year. Many thanks for all the lovely pictures you have shown this year . Really good for us oldies to see again, and sad for the youngsters who missed out on such treats.

Great collection PB again. First one is Binbrook '87 during a very brief dry period! The Tub is Alconbury '87 too- a scorching day!

Well deserved cuppa PB. Lovely sequence of the last display ship AQ, esp # 6. That twin tub was @ Alconbury. I have a similar one. Always wondered who those unhappy snappers were gesticulating at to 'get out of the way' - now I know. Happy days!
