Paul – the Beriev A-40 ‘Mermaid’ amphibian appeared at the show in 1993. The Russian Test Pilots Su-27s/Su-30s were there in 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995, with solo displays by an Su-30 in 1996 and Su-27P in 1998. Woodford was a super show wasn’t it – my favourite!

Unfortunately, as people have already said on this thread, Woodford in 1990 was beset was some pretty poor conditions on the morning of the show. In fact, as I’m sure any fans of the event know, Woodford was hampered by poor weather most years during the 1990s when the show was in its prime. Indeed, the only years when it didn’t rain were 1992, 1994, 1995 and 1996!!

Woodford was always a big event for us enthusiasts in the relative airshow desert that is the North of England – and many of us still miss it even now.
