Re: 'Trans Atlantic Air Race' record - 50th Anniversary

Re: B1B 86-0124 Lakenheath 1988
I saw this arrive on the Thursday before the show ( luckily working at the base commissary at the time), we were allowed to go and view all participants on the airfield on the Friday evening because we worked for the MOD, Cannot believe it's 35 years ago.
