Hi Paddy,

Love the Phoon at the end :cool:

Still think you need to get a DSLR and get some newer pics ;)

Cheers,

See you soon, Jimbo

Nice set Paddy, nice to see those lizard paint schemes though at the time they did not go down well with the spotting fraternity. Will keep an eye out for you in the village in coming weeks.

Another little gem of a post PB, love the C5 and C141, also remember the Wild Weasel pair from the early 90s. Many thanks for sharing.

Another excellent post Mr W with some great memories there - must admit I did initially like the European One transports. The 10th ACCS EC-135Hs were great

Hazarding a guess here but checked back and could this be 1991?

Looking forward to the next consignment mate

Cheers

American metal at its finest, looks like the unfortunately dull and murky '91 Gulf show. :thumbs:

Top man Paddy :thumbs: Didn't realise you were old enough for retirement. You'll have to get that caravan moved from the coast nearer inland ... Suffolk direction ;)
Brilliant memories with these - thanks for posting mate :thumbs:

Love the lifter shots, really miss those old birds. Waiting for someone to post a photo of one of the dustbin lifters at the hall

Hi Paddyboy :P
Another great set of memories, loved the lizard paint jobs. But for me it has to be that KC10 paint job. :thumbs:
Just remember Paddyboy even God rested on a Sunday :D
All the best
