Excellent photos as always PB !

The A26 wasnt a regular at the North Weald events. I know it was there for the 1990 show and as these pictures have the same look and feel as your previous batch from 1989 I wonder if this could be the 90 show.
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?
