A proper airshow, fabulous!

You've got some great shots in that lovely Autumn Sunlight. I wish those Texans could be marked up in their 72 squadron colours, they would look so much better with the colour bars on their roundels (like the Tucano's were marked). :) Hi Roughcutter, I know what you mean wouldn't it be great if the...

Just finished reading " A Higher Call ". I like to read personal accounts from people who have been involved in conflicts. The book tells the story of a luftwaffe ace and a B-17 pilot who had an unusual meeting over Germany which affected them for the rest of their lives. Also gives a insight into ...

I'm not holding my breath anymore. Even (if) we see the back of Covid, there's bound to be a serious knock-on effect to the airshow industry in general. With the exception of established venues like Old Warden I fear that we may have seen the last of some of the regular favourite shows

Looks like it's in the bag for Donald then, with that well timed election clincher.

Coventry?

Nice shot, very smart

I'm sure there's bound to be a quiet airfield out there where Legends can be staged? How about Sywell in Northants or Elvingdon in North Yorks?

The 512 TRS is German Air Force... MDD RF-4E, 2nd Squadron, TRW 51, Bremgarten AB. Or in German... Aufklärungsgeschwader (AG) 51.

Hope this helps...

Cheers, my first impression was that it was USAF

I'm curious about the 512th TRS patch you've got listed there (USAF exchange?)

Brilliant set of shots and in a great setting too, not something you'd see everyday. Right place right time I read in Flypast recently that 'Miss Pick Up' was soon due to fly out to Italy - Lake Como (Lombardy), don't know whether it's going to be based there or an airshow event?

That's a shame, I was planning to convert one into a caravan

Great site Are those "friday" patches for sale?

Welcome aboard Rick, enjoy.

Admittedly I didn't actually attend this Warbird Show it was too far away for me at the time, but I remember the (then new) Flypast Magazine's big feature on the event. It's a long shot but perhaps maybe Key Publishing might have it in their archives?

Very evocative selection Paddy, I'll have to have a delve in my own slides collection sometime, see whatever little nuggets I can dig up.

Definitely a grand day out

Classic types working very well in monochrome.

Nimrod pilot to co-pilot: "Honk the horn again I don't think he can hear us above the bagpipes!"

Don't stand too close to those intakes wearing a kilt, wonder if the pilot got a good look

I don't know? It makes a change from those boring Buffs, USMC and Avianos! (I'll get me coat)
