I remember getting there by public transport with a free bus from the station into the show. I looked round and my jaw hit the ground all these aircraft here for me to see never mind anyone else. Thoes were the days when there wereenough aircraft to put on a show. Never again.Having said that I was lucky [ very lucky] to have gone to the Russian 100 anniversary show with a 10 [ I think] hour flypast and show. That was a show.

I remember "hearing" the Canadian starfighter team and seeing the Frecce Tricolori in their last season with the G-91s, and the Jordanian Mirage F.1 display.
Still consider myself lucky. :cool: :cool:

This morning the C130 was parked near the 7 F15s nose on to the A607. The 4 Italian efa are parked behind the bund near the wfu awacs. The german efa are over near the tower. It appeared that only 9 were visible this morning from one vantage point on the A15. Awacs on the pan were 107 103 104 with sentinels 692 and 694.

Regards

Brian

The 10th German EF2000 becomes visible if you walk down the A15 (away from Lincoln) apparently.

I was only able to count 9 from the A15 and also only 9 visible from the lane where the IDF F-15s are. Rumour had it that one was somewhere inside. We were able to read 8 of the 9 off. The only one not read was the furthest the the right looking for the WAVE if anyone can help with that. Should be either 30+51 or 30+56.

Nick,

We also only saw nine this morning and with your addition of 30+51 now have eight serials:
30+47
30+50
30+51
30+64
30+73
30+74
30+88
31+20

Could you provide the missing serial please?

Hi Robin, Barry read off 30+65 as has been stated so that’s your missing one.
