Apart from Delta Daggers I was also able to photograph other types of aircraft. I hope you like the selection I made. Knowing there are so many people on this forum with such a vast aviation knowledge, I would really appreciate when someone could tell me the squadron of the F-101.

First of all my regards to the very kind aviation hobbyist I met at Coningsby three days ago.

And to all the others who reached this far, regards,
Arnold

Another excellent selection Arnold, some stunning shots, I really like the shot of all those Hustlers, superb post.

Brilliant Arnold - what a shame to see all those B-58s like that - a plane ahead of its time!

Please keep them coming

I think a Hustler still holds the Tokyo to London speed record, even with slowing down for IFR and a failed afterburner on one engine.

Great set Arnold! I wasn't even born by then, so really missed out on some good stuff.
As for the request, any specific F-101 you needed the squadron info off? If it's your Canadion Voodoo, then 409 sqn would be the right answer. The USAF grey ones are part of the ADC (Air Defence Command) as one can see by their eagle badge.

Maybe this is of help?

Thank you Sjoerd. I will update it on my Flickr page. Now I only look for the squadron of picture 11.
Groeten,
Arnold

Thanks Arnold, another great selection of shots for us to enjoy, even though some are in poor condition. But there's some rare types amongst them.

AAaahhhhh!!
My area of interest, having first visited the previous year.
You got near the B-58s and Voodoos - We weren't allowed for an un-remembered reason. There were areas filled with already auctioned-off frames that belonged to the scrapyard contractors and these were certainly off-limits. Some frames sat there for quite a while before finally making their last journey.
Great set!
I'm on holiday so don't have my Martyn Swann Series of MASDC books to hand, but AMARCExperience shows

Those Hustlers look good.Great post.

Hello Arnold, another great post.......your #11 Voodoo should be from the 84th Fighter Interceptor Squadron (78th Fighter Wing), if they are correct :

Wow, just awesome, what a great set of photos, many thanks for sharing them,

Rob

Thank you eLaReF and Robert for the information regarding the ADC Voodoo, much appreciated.
Arnold

Another superb post, Arnold. Some real gems in there.

My, those Hustlers and Voodoos are looking in a sorry state, but well worth seeing nonetheless.

Thanks for posting.

Regards, Terry.

Hi Arnold, that's another fantastic post from a bygone era, thank you for posting them.

It was great to meet you at Coningsby on Monday, I hope that you had a good day in the sunshine on Tuesday.

All the best,

Alisdair

Oh my, I think I need a time machine. Fantastic photos.

Super!
Hustlers, Voodoos, Super Sabres, Crusaders!!!

Hi Arnold

Hustlers and Voodoos

I can remember when the 101’s were based at Bentwaters and the distinctive sound they made on the way back home

Thanks for yet another superb post

Paddyboy

Lovely memories of past times, when the skies seemed to be pretty full of aircraft. Like Paddy, I remember the101's from Upper Heyford passing over Silverstone when I was spectating there.

A fantastic set probable taken during D-M s greatest time
sad to think that 4 years later when i first visited The B-58 s & C-124 s were gone apart from a couple of each lingering on
Great memories thank you

Oh, what a treat!
Pistons galore ... even a Cargomaster amongst the fabulous Connie's.... AND Hustlers!
And so you spoil us oldies again so very many thanks for sharing them
