Cheers

never knew about the Hunter, there was a display by Jumpin Jacques at the Southend Armed Forces Day around 2008 she was slap dang over the pier, was lucky enough to be on the viewing tower on Pier Hill at the time, I was able to get a short bit of video.

Nearer Benidorm, Spain (in 1978) than Southend – but enjoy anyway!

Some discussion of the Rothmans Aerobatic Team to be found HERE: http://www.pprune.org/aviation-history-nostalgia/111405-rothmans-aerobatic-team-others.html

The Team existed from 1972 to 1980, when Rothmans decided to moved their sponsorship money into Formula 1 motor racing (although they continued to sponsor a single Pitts S-2A until 1982)

However, the most direct answer to you post is

“Apart from the occasional display by the Red Arrows including one in 1978 and displays by the Rothmans Aerobatic Team in the early 1980s there a break of some 74 years before a full blown airshow was to be seen on the seafront in 1986“

Webpage about Southend Airshows 1986-2011 at http://www.southendtimeline.com/southendairshow.htm

I know that quote well…

Its my website I’m trying to update the airshow side of things to include the single item events, flypasts, flyins etc:

The Lincoln flew in on 9th May 1967, with the Beverley flying in on the 8th October 1971.

As has been said by WJ244 (a Sea fury) a numbe rof the other aircraft “flew” in to the museum (not in the literal sense I might add!)

Well done that man, she was a lovely aircraft when at Southend,

Thought she was under the care of the people at Hooton Park? (or somewhere) has the rest been scrapped, and any chance of some photos please.
