Some lovely shots there Darren and great scanning. Triggered me to look at my own photos from the show and it was definitely one of the better ones.

Well, you certainly did include something for everybody! What super memories your pics generate with most of the types currently WFU and what great colour schemes (especially the Tiger C/S). The Starlifters and Rota-based Skywarriors were two of my favourites of the past years so very many thanks for sharing them all :thumbs:
Best regards, Terry
Be the reason someone smiles today!

Definitely one of the more iconic IAT's - Desert Storm, a Tiger-Meet (of sorts) and the debut of the (then) Czechoslovakian AF?. I remember there was also a former Interflug Il-18 giving joyrides down to the Bay of Biscay for £35 :) . Great set of images, a real nostalgia trip. :thumb:

Hi, Darren,
Just caught up with your superb post [been in self-isolation] not worth travelling any longer! Brings back great memories of carefree days and great times.

Thanks, Mike.

It was my first IAT as well Stellaproblem, unfortuately I've only been to one other and that was 1993.
That's the same as me. Must get back one day
