Thanks for taking the time to put those up, some star items in there and my greatest miss out with my camera, was to catch(well not catch!) those Fiat G91s... :thumb:

Was recovering from Appendicitis so missed the day, but from memory the Tristar stayed on for a few days as I saw it at some stage.

Great post of a day I missed. Just too far for me :(

For rarity it has to be the G-91s and PD.808. Brilliant. :clap: :clap:

Great set of pics. Do you know what those yellow markings on the 43 Sqn Phantom are? I've never seen that before, and wondering what it is.
