Hi Peeps

Had my delving interrupted by the dreadful words from SWMBO.....

'Time you got up into the loft for the Xmas tree and decorations'

3hrs later I have been released from duty, so sorted these old negs out

Back to normal with the book-keeping, so zilch info on dates and places

Hope they are worth a peek

Now off for a well-deserved (IMHO) mug of Assam

Best regards as always

Some great pics there. Always regret not doing much photography back in the 80s.

Steve

Yes that dreaded time again!!

As for the Lightnings - great stuff!

Always good to see those camo lightnings - and those F3's were a regular at the airshows

Shot of the F3 getting airborne is a cracker

Hi Paddyboy...Great shots of AQ at Alconbury.That was my first show, after picking up my interest in aircraft again, & recovering from a beer hazed life
I remember it, by all the works they were doing at the time(1987). Nice scans BTW...

Well done Paddyboy
That Postie has certainly delivered some extra festive cheer on a sunday afternoon!

Great start to the afternoon.
AQ's display was awesome. I recall his vertical departure. "Ladies and gentlemen, the pilot will report when he reaches 40,000 feet." We didn't have to wait long.

Hi Paddy
Blown away by these
Like number three in particular.
12th night for Xmas deco here

Hi Peeps

Thanks so much for peeking and replying

Makes all the work worthwhile

Now sitting at the PC with my 3rd mug of Assam

Those Xmas deccy jobs get worse by the year

Best regards and thanks again

Paddyboy

Thanks for posting these, just how much more have you got?

Great collection PB again. First one is Binbrook '87 during a very brief dry period! The Tub is Alconbury '87 too- a scorching day!

Great stuff Paddy.

Pete

Thanks for the replies, guys

Sparts: there is at least one more suitcase full of boxes of slides/negs/pozzies to open

ST: thanks for the info

Best regards

Paddyboy

Great Pics Paddy!

Well done again Mr W - another great post. Like 'AQ' at Alconbury - some of the best so far

Take care mate

Darren

Now that's a Lightning!!!!

Good shots Paddy

Cheers

Well deserved cuppa PB. Lovely sequence of the last display ship AQ, esp # 6. That twin tub was @ Alconbury. I have a similar one. Always wondered who those unhappy snappers were gesticulating at to 'get out of the way' - now I know. Happy days!

My favourites

Could look at these brutes all day, wish i was old enough to see them fly, thank you for sharing

More more more!!! Nice one PB and I've just 'followed' you on Flickr (MSP Images is me) for those long dark winter nights ahead!

Thanks again, guys

Now those blinkin' Xmas deccys are up, I may have an hour or two this week for a bit more delving

Best regards

Paddyboy
