Re: SBAC FARNBOROUGH 21.09.68
Indeed - please note that in my earlier list for 21st (above), XT281 'LM/324' was wrong and should have been XT280 'LM/323'. And the Lanc/Spit/Hurricane were not on the flightlines; in fact the Spit & Hurri only made it on the Sunday 22nd, while the Lanc is confirmed for Sat & Sun but I think the weather prevented its appearance on the Friday.
Cheers, ZF.

Re: SBAC FARNBOROUGH 21.09.68
Many thanks to all the above who have replied to my initial request on the subject in question it's very pleasing and appreciative that like minded people are out there willing to give up their time to help fellow aviation enthusiasts like myself. A special thankyou to Rod and Eagle driver for the further updates. Just as a matter of interest and pardon my ignorance what is MSF.
Regards
Colin
