VC-9 at Warsaw Okecie Poland in 1997
Hi Would anybody be able to help fill in a gap in an old log book of mine, Noted at Warsaw Okecie ( now Chopin ) Poland on Tuesday 1st April 1997 was a USAF VC-9 in the Presidential colours ( 89 MAW ) this turned my head as the VC-9 were not particularly common in Europe. All clues welcomed - thanks

Re: '70s Carrier shots - Probably from Ark Royal
not too early in the 892 RN Phantom era either as the Phantom has the modified tail ( RWR ? ) at its tip - so circa 1975 onwards

Re: Canberra Anniversary Photo Call - May '89 Wyton
One of my memories from this event on 12th May 1989 was Gazelle ZA774 coming in from Northern Ireland with a heli telly ball fitted and being pushed into a hangar ( EW hangar I think ) - a quality visitor on the day.

Re: Dutch Serial Long Shot
A-281 was in the UK as a Grasshopper in 1981 - however the Grasshoppers were regulars on the UK airshow scene for many years so would have been a frequent visitor. Same really for the F-27 C-3 - very frequent visitors to the UK from mid 70s onwards. Difficult to precisely tie up dates for such frequ...

Re: RIP Joe Baugher
That's sad news to hear.
Joe was great at research and compiling historical data - a true aviation historian.
Todays aircraft are tomorrow history.

Re: 1973 Luxembourg
Thanks Arnold - excellent photos and a delight to see. Some of these I recognise as visitors to Northolt in that era.
The Finnish Magisters were a surprise to see among your visitors - maybe to/from maintenance in France ?
