RAF Lakenheath - Open House - 2nd August 1975 my view

Post by 3Greens » Thu Oct 24, 2024 12:55 pm

Fabulous recent post from MikeH with his memories of the Lakenheath Open House on 2nd August 1975. I had recently scanned my own shots of the event and they just about mirror Mike's shots, we must have been stood just feet apart :lol: . I've just added my few extras of a great event in absolute perfect weather. The Germans F-104G's from Jbg-33 were on exchange posting with one of the based F-4 squadrons.

Very nice Keith, I don’t know why I couldn’t get that close to the German 104s. :S

Lovely scans and subjects as usual Keith 👍👍

Those smaller open days at the USAF bases were always good to attend - great atmosphere and hospitality

Keep them coming

Great to see those photographs but how times have changed. The parking fee for cars was £1!!!
