Cottesmore 2001

Post by Londoneye » Wed Mar 17, 2021 5:30 pm

Scans from the IAT show Cottesmore 2001.
There were some nice special colours.
Lesser seen countries attended such as Romania and Malta.
Some regular countries sent lesser seen types eg Ireland brought a couple of helicopters, Germany an As532, Spain a pair of Mirage F-1 etc.
Less space ? meant static pics have the prominent blue / white cones !

More in my FlickR album for those interested.

Remember the golf buggies that took the Fiat members to the grandstand on non public days.

What a great selection. I remember being blown over whilst sat by the taxiway on departure day by some of those aircraft.

Thanks for posting.
