What, where and squadron quiz

Hi Crazymainer,

The picture looked familiar as I was there at the time! I also recall they did something they called a “Twinkle Roll” where all the aircraft rolled individually and quite fast, not a formation roll but as six individual aircraft in formation. Their spacing wasn’t all that wide and to me it looked a bit hairy with those broad Scimitar wingips thrashing round in opposition to one another. But it looked good.

Any more pictures of a similar vintage?

All the best,

Supermarine Scimitar – 80? Squadron FAA – SBAC, Farnborough

L9172,,

Correct they are Scimitars of No. 803 Squadron at The SBAC Display according to the information on the back of the photo this was the fasted Low-Level formation Demonstration ever seen at SBAC.

Tho their is no date does anyone know when this took place.

Thanks

Just in from nighshift so here we go, and that’s my excuse if I’m wrong. :rolleyes:

This’ll be totaly wrong but I reckon they are Javelins at the SBAC flying display at Farnborough sometime in the 60’s. Don’t know what squadron but go for 23 Squadron.
