Fantastic second batch of shots too ! Especially like the pairs shots - number 2, 9 and 10 for me. The baby Saab looks the business when viewed from underneath like in shot 9
Its gonna rain, its gonna rain till the levee breaks, a tidal wave of fear and pain washes us away, another fight into the night until nothing else remains, how do we find harbour from the Hurricane?

Some nice shots there, I always liked these and took numerous photos over the years, somewhere I've got some slides of the Karo-As display team at the 1983 Air Tattoo, which was the last IAT held at Greenham Common. I first saw a couple of these at the 1974 IAT so they certainly lasted a long time.
