Just how many aircraft types and squadrons are no longer around!!!

Great memories tinged with a little sadness keep them coming though :)

Looks like a super event - thanks for posting. My first trip to Coningsby was much more recent than these while on an ATC visit, but nonetheless lovely to see the LN Varks and other goodies.
