Very nice Paul. All enhanced by the superb light and blue sky. Surely someone gave a Tornado the treatment? Did you get the Aeronavale Super Eterndard which had a sort of half hearted scheme i.e. one side only?

As it's the 75th anniversary of NATO this year I expect there will be a few specially marked a/c around, some of which will hopefully find their way over here, most probably to RIAT. At the last significant anniversary in 1999 I did get to see a couple of the commemorative schemes, images of which a...

For those of you who are interested here's a photo I found of the impressive Vickers cannon armament of the Hurricane IID operated by 6 Sqn. in the Western Desert which earned them their Flying Can-openers nickname. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53577423697_413b273800_c.jpg 6 Sqn Hurricane IID...

Thanks to all of you for yr contributions which are superb esp the flying shot of EN through the M6 pass and as for that close up of 90 Ann tail marking it looks like the paint is still wet! Apparently the 'Gunner's Stripe' marking dates back to the Sqn's first artillery shoot mission in November 19...

Nice ones capercaillie esp that 100 Ann. Typhoon which I never got to see.

Well done for spotting the deliberate mistake on the date of the Phantom pic guys. Good to know you've been paying attention! I'm hoping to see some more shots of 6 Sqn. Phantoms correctly dated. Anyone think of any other squadrons whose a/c wore badges other those officially approved? The only othe...

At the end of January 6 Sqn., known as 'The Flying Can - Openers' celebrated its 110th Ann. at Lossiemouth by taking delivery of Jaguar airframe XX119 in the iconic Leopard print paint scheme applied in 2007 to mark the type's retirement from RAF service. The squadron is distinguished in several way...

Great set from the end of a golden era for aircraft spotting. Must surely have been the swansong of the Torrejon Vipers cos they relocated to Italy at the beginning of the '90s. I was under the impression that the Torrejon jets(Block 30), went back Stateside and went to various ANG units. While the...

Excellent, as always, Arnold; esp liking WT347 in 3 Sqn mks. Those with the black fuselage band will be 16 Sqn. Also those must be the first Buccs to arrive @ Laarbruch.

Capercaillie's excellent recent post inspired me to 'get around' to scanning my own negs of this show as well as rediscovering the programme (priced @ £6 - dread to think what they cost these days). The main theme was flying training but I thought the line-up was a bit light with only the Hungarian ...

Superb selection from what was a great show. That Papyrus Hunter pic really is a bit special. I attended on the Saturday when it was really hot. Light conditions were ok in the morning but in the afternoon the sky turned milky and the flying shots suffered as a result. Highlights for me were those H...

Canadians certainly have got value for money out of their CF-18s!

Nice to see some F3s once more. CF-18s seem to be mainly in mks of 409 (Nighthawks) Sqn.

Results look good to me, which is more than I can say for the paintwork on that Polish MiG!

Nice selection which evokes a few memories. Particularly liking that Toom take-off shot.

Here's a pic of 56 Sqn.'s Hunter team; the Firebirds who became better known after re-equipping with the Lightning in the 60s. Also this faked photo from the Gaydon programme of an Anson leading a Hunter display team. Apparently the Anson belonged to the AOC 13 Group and during a visit to 43 Sqn. it...

The oldest RAF yearbook in my collection is from the '58 Gaydon Air Display. Regrettably the cover is very tatty but here is a pic of it together with the flying display programme. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53523933842_fdd6aa7f5f_b.jpg Gaydon '58 Souvenir book + programme by Michael Britto...

South Yorkshire's finest. Those pics are aviation history gold.

Fabulous set Keith. particularly those flightline pics with the blue sky which was all too rarely seen atop the Wolds, probably due to the proximity to the coast.
