Tezz,
The programme I have for 29th May, 1972 (price 20p) has a photo on the front cover of the four Rothmans Stampes trailing smoke (appropriately). No sign of a pic of a Sunderland I am afraid but it does have on page 8 an illustrated article “Whatever happens to old aeroplanes” by one R.P.Smith, Secretary of the Midland Aircraft Preservation Society – which probably explains why I still have this programme.

Sorry, only found programme from 1972 don’t know if I was there in ’73. In 1972 it was held on 29th May which sounds like the Bank Holiday weekend so the date for 1973 almost certainly is the same BH day if you look up old calendars on Google.
In 1972 Ray Hanna doing Spitfire aerobatics was item 3 and there was a second Spitfire from Coltishall towards the end of the programme – as was “Bob Mitchell and the Kramme Zeuthen 8”
