Re: The Centurion Lindholme
tg13 thanks for the brilliant airshow clip. I have early memories of a Battle of Britain air show at Lindholme and have often tried to identify which year my visit took place. As far as I have been able to discover, shows were held there in 1957/8/9 but nothing later, so the reference to 1962 on thi...

Re: RAF Worksop
As a child growing up in Retford, with an aviation mad Dad, the Meteors and Vampires from Worksop (known to many locals as Scofton) were some of my earliest aviation memories. Unfortunately I do not remember going to the airfield but our part of Retford was under the final approach to one of the run...

Re: Canberras - 85 Squadron Binbrook finale
Great photos there, happy memories - any shots of the Meteors with 85Sq Keith? I last noted any on 23/10/69 when F8 WH291/T and T7 WL378/W were active.

Re: Radar station on St Kilda Island
The radar on St Kilda supports operations in the danger area complex west of the Hebrides. In the 1980s these ops included Rapier SAMs, Lance battlefield nuclear missiles (without the warhead!) and release to service trials of Martel and Sea Eagle. The Sea Harrier was from Boscombe Down, carrying a ...

Re: Llanbedr
Its a while ago (and the memory is not so good!) but pretty sure it was a Llanbedr crew using a "Nugget" call-sign. I believe Tarrant Rushton closed in 1980 so guess it may have been transferred to RAE. WK143 had been originally converted for AAR trials along with WH734, another Llanbedr Canberra wh...

Tarnish 08 landed at Warton in a Hawk T2 between 2 and 3pm local, which could tie in.
