Hi all
Just spent my past two evenings going down memory lane, going through the old Shoreham aerojumble threads, they were certainly good times, meeting fellow aviation enthusiasts along the way, there certainly was some rare gems to be had reading some of the post event comments, i guess we are lucky to still have some great aero jumble events for the calender of the likes of Newark, Popham, Kenley etc etc, but none are currently of the size and scale of Shoreham, sadly those days may of now disappeared.
If you type into the search bar “Shoreham aerojumble” there are some great stories by you guys of your finds along with some great photos.
Enjoy..

Thanks A.M. that was a truly fantastic read, and some pretty comical stuff.
Have to say i would of loved to of been around when the circuit was as hectic as it once was as i sadly missed out on the early stage of jumbling, but i still enjoy the odd rumage when these events are run.
Also looking back on that early post its pretty sad to see so many former members missing from todays forum, i joined the forum coming up to 10 years ago and appears more and more are leaving, along with some fantastic knowledge and input.

Here’s a thread that contains a few memoirs and anecdotes from several of us veteran ‘jumblers. Not many of them bother posting on here these days so I doubt you’ll get much more of a response.

Dam wish i was one of them
Reading the old Shoreham threads apparently vehicles use to que way back from the airfield to get in to the main entrance of the Jumble, the police even advised to let vehicles in for free to get the outer roads conjestion moving again.
Sadly i missed the fun of the early aerojumble events
Would anyone have any other stories relating to jumble heydays, ie purchases, photos etc, as it would be good to hear and see, also give me an insight of the early part of jumbling.

Here is a Video of Yeovilton aerojumble 1984 for those who wish to step back in time:

Sadly i missed the Yeovil town and Tangmere aerojumbles they sounded like like an alladins cave for collectors.

Yes they were good times, and also don’t forget the Yeovilton and Tangmere aerojumbles where there were so many ‘bargains ‘
