Not at all Mike, help yourself, glad you liked it!

[Blushes] thanks for everyone’s kind words, it really was an amazing display, and given the late afternoon lighting and cloud formations it was too good an opportunity to miss. 🙂

For anyone with even a passing interest in this period, the Lincolnshire Lancaster Association is well worth joining, for the member’s day alone.

It sometimes took 8 hours to get off the base!!

The traffic could be a nightmare, despite being by local base (normally less than half a hours drive), I was always later home than when I went to Duxford or Old Warden, 130 miles away!

Blue Angels displaying through the murk – was that 1992?

Thanks for confirming that Scott; I’ve been blowing up the scans to try and read a registration code but with no success. The nose art certainly looks like Lusty Lindy though, although I wasn’t sure.

The second Victor (the one that has landed) is XH672 ‘Maid Marian’, now resident at Cosford I believe.

Cheers, I was using my (then) new Nikon F301, the first camera I’d ever had with an auto-wind, must have used half a roll of film on that one run!:D

Got some prints of the Buccaneers arriving too, plus a few bits and pieces that now fall into FlyPast territory, I’ll scan then in a minute…

Sorry Scott, had put them in a previous thread when someone was asking about that and the Buccaneer. Here they are again..

Plus a couple of ‘arty’ monochrome versions…
