I remember that Yeovilton show very well and indeed the carrier was fogbound, will now have to dig out some USS America shots.

Classic collection of frames,excellent post.

Still drying wet eyes,may well have been up there myself.

A poignant and sobering place to visit to remind us all of sacrifices that were made.

Any history for 60-0008 over here, given that it was a big gap filler for me at least.

Saw it at Upper Heyford in Oct 1964 and Marham in March 1967 - 19th BW Homestead both times.

And that would account for why I haven’t seen it before. Cheers

Hi Stuart, was the shot of Black Mike on the visitor's ramp at UH, if so I remember it well. A classic selection all round.

Absolutely brilliant post all round,showcasing all the types we have lost over the years at a venue that always produced good shows.

Peter Teichman flew the plane in so it is probably still part of the hangar 11 collection at North Weald.

Well not really, this only known ex Russian Spitfire dropped into Wellesbourne for a quick visit on 26.07.24.
