What a great set and as said above, the aircraft are spotless, even the Lightnings.

Nice to see coloured ones - I was still in my monochrome period then

'Best spit & polish" - particularly the Lightnings ! alot of chrome polish went into those ! every squadron being presented to HMQ, so everyone wanted to impress

These are the best pics of the event that I've ever seen. Begs the question - how did you manage to achieve digital quality shots in the pre-digital age? That shot of the torching F-111 is just unbelievable!

That shot of the torching F-111 is just unbelievable!

It needs a re-scan really. The flame is a bit washed out and needs a bit of work in Photoshop.

What a delight to see all these interesting aircraft. Thank you very much for once-again a superb selection of images from a colourful time almost 50 years ago.

I still only had a 135mm lens as my telephoto lens then so my pics from then are nowhere near the clarity of these. It was also still during my monochrome period, although there seemed to be some colour film left in it from work.

I don't like taking over others' posts so I'll just post a link to the album

I was there, aged 3. My earliest memory is peeing down my dads back (sat on his shoulders) when the 'vark did that dump and burn.
