Re: More relics from the loft
Nice shots Paddy and happy memories of two great Boscombe shows.
Keep them coming.
Keep them coming.
Re: More relics from the loft
Yes a lovely bit of nostalgia there Paddy
Re: More relics from the loft
what they said
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
Re: More relics from the loft
Cheers Pads, I miss those beefy Drakens.
Thanks for the memories.
All the best

Re: More relics from the loft
Boscombe Down 1990. Thanks for reminding me of one of my more memorable hangovers - if thats the correct term. Stayed in an inn in Porton. On the Sunday night the landlord announced that it was his last day and the more beer we drank, the easier his stock take in the morning. We did our best but by golly did we suffer the following day. Keep 'em coming.

Thanks for posting!
I had the honour of collecting the PR9 pilot at Fairford, and taking him to flight ops for a bit of a lecture! A great guy...

Love the Phantom! Time stood still with that shot, it looks just as if it could have been taken at one of this years shows

Re: More relics from the loft
Great memories
The UK military airshow calendar was so full back then especially with the extra USAF bases.

Thanks again, guys, for peeking and replying
Mike: you are sooooo right
We had Hall, Heath, Alconbury, Woodbridge, Benty, UH, Shepherds Grove, (I am ancient) Sculthorpe, to name a few
Halcyon days, never to return
