TTTE Cottesmore

A few taken over the fence on a trip to TTTE at Cottesmore, probably taken in the late 80's.

Nice stuff

The A1 used to be quite good - Alconbury, Wittering and of course Cott.

Loved Cotters when the TTTE was resident, it was always worth a visit just to catch any interesting visitors, probably the last place to catch a German hooter🙂

Morning Patrick. Just thought I would point out that TONGA is an island, whereas TONKA is a euphemism for an aeroplane. Ah, the perils of single malt at this time of year. :) :) :) Happy new year to you and A from J and T.

Nice set. Unusual three tone camo scheme on the German one which I've never seen on a Tonka before.

I hadn't noticed either and I have a couple of terrible scans from what looks like the same crash-gate, so It looks as if that was the norm then
