Anytime before MPN was a good time to be down there. Spent some at Navy Point myself when I was on JHSU hooking. Great shots Mr B!
Re: Any spotter in the falklands
Moved to the Nostalgia section, wonderful shots, any more please ?

Re: Any spotter in the falklands
Excellent set. Big fan of the Air-to-Air's! I do miss the F3 though 

Re: Any spotter in the falklands
Great shots guys, I loved the stories of the penguins falling-over backwards when they were watching aircraft fly overhead !

Re: Any spotter in the falklands
Now I do like the "group shot" of the Tornado F.3 and Typhoon together. That must have been at handover? Got a similar shot like that at Leuchars Airshow in 2010........Old and New so to speak.

Tanking on the air bridge from ASI in Oct 82

One of the last fighter affil trips against the F4. Check out the horizon above the 'Co's' head, 80-85 degrees AoB?
