Diables Rouges – Fouga Magisters.
AFAIK The Frecce Tricolore were not there that year.

Diables Rouge
Flying what? I think that there is a memory trigger in that. Also deep in the bowels of that same memory is something about the Frecce Tricolore (sorry if that’s mis-spelt) and Fiat G.91s.

Could this be in support of the Thunderbirds ? or have I got the wrong year……..(F100 Super Sabres, did most of the display in the distance)
Not as far as I know …the only other USAF involvement that I logged was 60146( C-141A) and just two anonymous F-100s that did a pass in the distance…
Aerobatic teams were Diables Rouge & Red Arrows.

I’m probably more ancient than you – I was at Biggin Air Fair both in 64 and 67. If you have any other photos from the same day I could confirm which year your Globemaster pic was taken
Sorry. I’m on the wrong side of the Channel at present. I don’t think that I have any more of that year, but I’ll look when I get back to to the right side!

I was at the Biggin show in 1967 and have a couple of pictures of 0-17279(sorry unable to scan at present) but in both the Helter Skelter is visible a little way off the r/h wing. Cannot see it in this pic so I guess its not 1967.
It rained alot in 67, as it did every time I went, so gave up going in case I was the cause.

Mods – to save me ongoing embarrassment, perhaps you could re-title this thread “What’s this (a Globemaster)?”, please.

Scramble lists C-124C 0-20980 as being at the 1964 Biggin Hill Air Fair (9-10 May), which could make it 52-0980.

A C-124 Gobemaster II no doubt there
