Those yellow SAR choppers really stand out in the dark.

That Hurricane shot is spectacular and the Me-108 most atmospheric.

Lovely studies of RAF Leeming's 75th Ann. pair of F3s. Also the F-4.

'Those were the days my friend. We thought they'd never end.' as Mary Hopkin once sang. We certainly never thought it would be the last one but what a show to end on! I certainly never experienced such a tailback, almost back to Shippea Hill on the northern approach. In the end we turned around and ...

Having just done the above post I turned my attention to locating some pics of this show and, fortunately located them straight away for once. Ignore the mistaken year in the captions. Just a word about the P-51 Mustang. If the scheme looks familiar you've probably seen it in Spielberg's 'Empire of ...

Came across these on an old cd. Not the best quality but great subjects. Fairly sure it was the '86 event. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50534510336_df35a0d69f_h.jpg Air Fete '86 - USAF F-4C by Michael Britton , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50533782073_e731740f3d_h.jpg Ai...

Wonderful set that you can be proud of. Some unusual landing angles there too. Particularly liking the Etendard.

Hi Mick

No way to treat a loyal servant, imho

Thanks for posting

Paddyboy

Too right. But at least its given good service to the very end.

While watching Forces TV News on Thurs 15 Oct. I witnessed the sad end of Tornado F3 ZE204, set ablaze to provide Fire + Rescue Training for budding RAF firefighters. I searched my F3 photo collection but only found the three pics shared below, all taken @ Leeming down the yrs. Our paths first cross...

Another eclective mix of which the Navy F4 is outstanding.

Some interesting ones there Michael. Particularly liking the Lightning + Starfighter.

Vampire night shots impressive, esp the engine start one with the exhaust flames.

Certainly are Kev, esp. the F-104S and by all means post some more.

Fabulous set of a Cat in/on its natural element and in such stunning scenery. Scotland at its best. What's not to like?

F3s always worth a look. Also the Jag in the Colt Anniversary mks.

Lovely set there Harold. Nice to see some Tornado F3s - a much maligned and largely forgotten fighter.

Thanks for the info EGVP. Was worried that it might have been scrapped - which would have been a tragedy!

Indeed they do. Nice set - esp the Frightening.

A friend who was recently on holiday in Northumberland sent me some pics of the F-4 gate guard. When I first visited in '91 they had a lovely Lightning in 29 Sqn. mks. and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what happened to it when it was replaced?

Interesting set Mike. Love the Britannia & the Buff. See you've got BoJo's bus in there too!
