These are all from a box marked 'Air Fete '93' :halo:

I could of course be wrong :lol:

Sorry for the large post, but I got a bit too enthusiastic 'cos of the subject matter :thumbs:

Hope they are worth a peek: best regards as always :thumb:

Great one Paddy - always loved the ‘111 and like Seahawk spent many a day at the fence at Heyford - sad day when they left

I have these as 93 as well mate so looks like you are spot on

Good to see you and the mob a couple of weeks ago 👍👍 great weekend!!

Great set there Paddy of a great jet... and a great load of memories flooding back of the 111s at Air Fete and many hours sat on the fence line at Lakenheath watching them.

Thanks for posting... looking forward to your next selection 👍

Very evocative selection Paddy, I'll have to have a delve in my own slides collection sometime, see whatever little nuggets I can dig up. :thumb:

A nice set Paddyboy, of an aircraft sadly missed.

That chunky main undercarriage was certainly impressive!
