A real mixed bag of old 'frames

Post by paddyboy » Sat Jul 27, 2019 8:22 am

Hi Peeps :P

It's bucketing it down here, so the choice is either to hop over to the OB air show, or sit in the dry with a cuppa and do yet more delving and digging :whistle:

Guess which won :lol:

All the usual suspects are there, venue-wise, so I'll leave it up to you as to what was taken where ;)

Hope they are worth a peek :roll:

Love the 'Stars, but all cracking nostalgia. I first saw the Turk in it's former guise as 25+45 with JbG-34 at the Landsberg show Sept-1987..... Happy days. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers, ZF.

Siggi, Axel and Bennu could all be relied on to do the bizzo, whatever the weather :thumb:

Cheers :)

I'm a simple man. I see F-104s. I like.

Great set. Starting to wonder where on earth you keep all this lot!
