Duxford Classic Jets Airshow 2nd June 1996
Duxford Classic Jets Airshow 2nd June 1996
Trying to go through old airshows as alot of my records have been destroyed. Can anybody provide a list of what jets appeared on that day plus a list of the airliners that flew past as part of Heathrow 50th anniversary celebrations. Many thanks

From faded memory, weren't the airliners a very long way south of Duxford?
