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.

Would have been at this show if our family hadn’t been struck down by various illnesses.

Really nice set.
Thanks for posting

Great stuff, thanks for posting.

I remember that show! Great day! Lovely photos

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.

Thanks all for your appreciation.

Remember the show well! That Saab-105 in black though . . . .

What a fantastic set of photos, i definitely missed the best years of airshows !

A lovely record

I remember that show. It was pretty good. Great shots , thanks for sharing the memories!

Great shots and to me, this was the best RIAT in years, nothing since has been able to match it. Thanks for sharing these.

Have to agree with Mustang531 this was an excellent show with such a great variation of aircraft, some great shots there and thanks for sharing.

Good stuff....was that the year it was about 30 degrees on the Saturday and about 10 on the Sunday?
