Never to be repeated formations

Following the recent activity on old photos, I finally got my scanner working! I was amazed by the number of old never to be repeated formation pictures I had, and I am sure I am not alone. Here are some examples.

Canopus and Harvards (I think this was at Fairford on an arrivals day.)

Comet and Mosquito

The original photo is a bit blurry, but the memory is as sharp as ever…

With thanks to Robbo for scanning this in for me last weekend. 🙂

Two Spitfires escorting Concorde?

Various warbirds escorting a 747?

Spitfire P7350 escorting Concorde (think I have one of Mark12’s pic on my hard-drive of this somewhere)

Never to be repeated formations?

Vulcan / Victor / Valiant several times at Farnborough
16 F-101s at Bovingdon’s Armed Forces Day in 1960
TWO KB-50s plus F-100, F-101 and B-66 at the same event
BBMF trio plus BAE’s Mosquito
B-25 plus five Mossies during filming of 633 Squadron
Massed Javelins and Gannets at Farnborough 1957/58
24 Super Sabres at Lakenheath’s open day in 1965

All now only exist in photographs, but very fond memories indeed.

I could go on, but you get the picture
