Thanks Galcom,
The remembrance parade in a snowstorm at Alderma and the general conditions look ‘challenging’. I bet that was a posting to avoid!

Anyone who likes the Fiddler and Firebar…check out the above link. The Fiddler is a monster sized aeroplane. The Firebar is straight out of a Schoolboy’s jet drawing. Amazing machines.

Only an interesting photo:
MiG-17PF ‘Fresco-D’ Soviet air target aircraft in 1974

The withdrawn MiG-17 ‘Fresco’ aircraft were converted to remotely controlled targets. The conversion took place in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s. The transformed MiG-17 aircraft was renamed to M-17M and M-17MM.

Thanks Galcom, another interesting series of photos. Where do you find your photos from? Are they from personal or official collections, or a mixture of both?
