IAT Greenham 23/7/1983 (large post)

[Gruncle 01]

These are scanned from my slides from the last IAT at Greenham. A couple of the slides have some blemish on them, but I put them in as a record of some of the aircraft that appeared at the show. This was also the year of the 25th anniversary of the Phantom so I have done a separate post for that. Hope these are okay and bring back a few memories.

Paddyboy

[Hunter49]

I agree with Paddy what a selection ,was there the good times long ago . Rob

[Knife 04]

Great selection Michael - remember it well despite it being nearly 40 years ago

My first FIAT and first with an SLR!

Many thanks for posting

Darren

Brings back some very happy memories thank you for posting the pictures

[F3]

V. nice. Most of the fast jets are from the STAR line - up (Strike/ Attack/ Recce) which was the main theme of the show.

[NickB]

Excellent pics and brings back some happy memories - always hoping I might see a very young NickB with his Dad & cousin in the background of these pics!

The early morning shots are exactly as I remember the weather that Saturday after the terrific thunderstorm the night before - thankfully as can be seen, the weather improved.

[Sparky 119]

Missed out totally on Greenham Common which has been a regret for years so always good to see postings of airshows as they used to be

[NickB]

Sparky 119 - sadly I only got to one, but what a show. Back then there were the diversity of aircraft types which made it so interesting. The IATs that followed were also good too, but I don't bother with them now - last time I went was 2000 at RAF Cottesmore.
