RAF Abingdon – Jubilee Show 1968

I have checked all the reports I can find of this show, including my own notes taken on the day, and nowhere is there any reference to a Heron being present. Is it possible that your flight may have been at a different show? I know that Herons appeared at both Benson and Abingdon to carry out pleasure flights at a number of Battle of Britain shows around this time.

I was there with my newly-bought Practika Nova SLR and came back with the thick end of 100 slides – a big expense for a 16-year-old.
I’ll have a look and see if there’s one that fits the description. Can’t make any promises though.

Looks like the answer is “no” bravo 533. I was at that show and cannot recall any pleasure flying going on at all. However, I will check my records and see if I recorded a Heron being present, and let you know on Monday.
