Hello to all. This report from my blog might interest anyone travelling to the 2025 Tiger Meet at Beja in Portugal. It is a look back at the extraordinary, well-organised airshow staged during the 1996 Tiger Meet, and boy, was it warm. I hope you all have a great time, Saúde! https://legendarymilavi...

Very pleased you did post it Rob, what a fabulous catch. Are you on holiday after all those great photos from Pitch Black. Well worth a visit to your flicker site, great work.
Regards, Mike.

It's a cracking set from a great week. Talking of rain, Where is the Sunset piccy you you sneaked out to take on Wednesday evening.lol

Great set, Shaun. It's hard to decide, but I do like the Serbian Air Force C295MW.

Nice set, Harold.

Excellent capture in that Sunshine. A nice set indeed.

One of those great exercises back in the day, adding to the excitement of the transporters and a complete mission on the last morning, the Austrian Air Force J35D Drakens started arriving late in the morning for their following week's deployment to the ACMI range.

Best regards, Mike Fisher.

Well done, Andy. This is another great set of memories. Let's hope the sun shines on us next week.

This previews what you will see for anybody visiting France on Sunday for the Défilé. All photos were taken during the practice, and as is customary, there is an excellent range of types. I hope they help.

Oh my! I have just seen myself in the first photograph. As Darren has said, the place to be was tight in the right-hand corner. I was also gutted to see the RAE Argosy. I had to take a leak, and as reported, it was a long walk and quite an experience, just a field tent with a trench. Enough said, an...

In 2003, I visited the French Aéronautique Naval base at Landivisiau in Brittany. During that visit, I photographed the sad end to the active service of these two Iconic fighter jets, the beautiful Vought Crusader F-8P and the Dassault Étendard IVP. They languish behind the hangars, awaiting their f...

As good as a warm Jalfrezi! Very nice, indeed.

Hi Kev,
That is a lovely set from the Southwest, and it looks wintery. I really like the Apache shots.

Best regards, Mike.

Photos from the start of my 1978 visit and report on the Air Fete, not only a fabulous visitor for the show but the fashion of the time is quite interesting.

Regards, Mike Fisher.

Very nice, Daniel, especially like 1 and 2.

Numbers 6 and 8 are lovely and very atmospheric.

Top quality post. As said before, some serious hardware is to be seen. Excellent.
