Alconbury Air Show 14/08/1971

Post by roadrunner46 » Thu Apr 23, 2020 9:42 am

I was at the above airshow and I have just started converting my colour slides to digital copies. On one taken that day, which to me looks like a Convair C-131 they tail serial is 0-2103. I have checked and re-checked all my type lists and serial lists but can find nothing remotely resembling this serial. I understand that the 0 was used when the aircraft was oncidered obsolete, but nothing appears to be listed between 1950 and 1961. Any ideas please as to what this aircrafts identity is?

Regards Mike

Think you will find it is VT-29C 52-1103. Confirmed in Scramble Show Reports, always worth a first look
