RAF St.Mawgan Airshow 1987(?) Log needed!

[Dazza37]

Evening all, I hope this is the right section for this and also apologies if I've posted this request before...

Basically I'm trying to fill in a void in my military log, I went to an airshow at St.Mawgan mid to late 80's but only took pictures (now all lost sadly) and I'm trying to establish when it was and what was there. If it helps at all, aircraft I vividly remember was a Hahn based F-16C, 111Sqn FG.1(grey camo) and I'm sure concord put in an appearance, I also seem to remember a RAF Harrier GR.3/T.4 and an F-104 of some description...

Any help is gratefully apprciated.

I went to every St Mawgan show during the 1980's and have checked my logs, yes it was 1987. In terms of participation it was one of the largest shows and the log is quite long. Here are some pics from 1987, perhaps they may jog your memory. If this is the year - PM your address and I will pop a copy in the post.

I have found my log for the show and it was one of the better St Mawgan shows in the 80s. The Starfighters were Italian, the Harrier was a T4. Concorde was G-BOAA. In addition to the Dutch Orion there were 2 US Navy examples and a Canadian Aurora. Most RAF/RN types were present, including 5 Jaguar GR1s. Other European countries present were Belgium, Germany & Denmark.
