Thanks for all the comments guys. It was definitely a different time,

I focused mainly on the visiting air arms for this thread, there are loads of Tornado F.3 shots I didn't share - especially from the around the HAS sites. Possibly a future post?

Expanding on the theme... Between 1990 -1995 I attended the RAF Leuchars BoB Shows, on the Enthusiasts' Package. Looking back it was a different time at the immediate end of the Cold War. During this period the RAF withdrew the Wessex from SAR duties, the Victor and the Buccanneer, the USAF also wit...

Can't help with the Pitts Special I'm afraid, but the other airframes were:

Canberras: XH134 & XH135
Jet Provosts: XJ771 & XW422
Meteor: WA591
Hunter: XL577

Hope this helps

Expanding on the Buccaneer theme In 1993 I extended my trip to the Leuchars BoB show to encompass a visit to Lossiemouth to taken in the Buccaneers at their nest before the type retired. The Lossiemouth shots were taken on 13 & 14 September https://live.staticflickr.com/5454/9686918752_a258b98c7a_h....
