A pot pourri...

Post by Fibrous Freddie » Wed Mar 15, 2023 3:41 pm

Hi to anyone inquisitive enough to open this...

Some images from a box of 'miscellanies' to peruse... many unrepeatable.

No labels or locations, so enjoy if you can...

Toodle pip for now...
Best wishes
Freddie

There are Lightnings, of course I'm going to enjoy :D .

Sadly all these are out of service now but a great post to reminisce over.

Thanks :thumbs:

Hi FF :P

Simply awesome :Wow:

Then again, any post with proper Lightnings in it is going to float my boat :thumbs:

My only guess is IAT 1987 for the F8N :S

Thanks for posting :thumb:

I think the F-4J in 'Untitled 42' was IAT 87 at Fairford
