I heard the Outside Air Temperature passed to the Harrier on that Saturday afternoon - Plus 35°C!

Arthur: I am sure (as usual) you are correct
I seem to recall the USAF turned on a water spray system somewhere just so that people could walk through
I have never drunk so much water at an air display

The heady days of the photo bus. A much missed feature these days. Thanks for sharing.

Quality stuff!! Just look at all that camo!! Great post, great days, epic show.
Re: View from the bus - Fairford 1989
I remember the heat though I was only 9 at the time - I still have my point and shoot pics of the B-1B, B-52, KC-135 and FB-111 'SAC attack'.
Great to see the Dark Vark shots - super aircraft

Re: View from the bus - Fairford 1989
Yeah, hotter than a bucket of red ants!!!. By coincidence, I bumped into the Captain of the B.52 displaying there a few years later whilst on a Caribbean Cruise. He very much enjoyed his time at the Fairford show. Three months after being on the ship, I was wandering around Airshow at Oshkosh, heard a voice from behind saying 'High John'. Looked round, there he was again.!! I asked him how he recognised me from behind. 'the suntan' !!, he replied!.. His name was Scott, don't know his surname, and he was a great friend of Bud Holland, who binned the B.52 in that infamous crash whilst doing an Airshow rehearsal.
