Abingdon, Battle of Britain show, its the only ones that were held there since the Coronation review.
I’m bored now!
…..up till the fantastic Abingdon Fayre Air & Country Show 😉 😉 😉
Not Great Warbirds…
The Sally B shot is an unmanipulated pic (some dust duffed out, no other changes, no crops) but there’s something not quite what it seems… 😉
Nick, OAG, have a warm feeling. How did you know it was Abingdon?
to be honest mate I don’t know…somehow it just cried out ABINGDON at me.
…& Nick,Farnbro’ 74 was my first show as well.
As to the B-17 shot I too was gonna say Warbirds,but seeing as that’s been denied,wasn’t there a kind of pre-Warbirds event at Elstree,and then Stapleford in the early-mid ’80s…purely guess work,I may add
rgds,James

Looks like RAF Abingdon
my thoughts exactly,MoTF
…far too young,
like me aged 39!!!!!!!!!
The Jags overflew Wallingford at 1410hrs Local approaching from the N-E,departing South.The “missing-man” pull-up aircraft was visible from Didcot.
The Spitfire is due to fly-past the Officers Mess,presumably after the Wake
Moggy C
not too sure about the Spit,but…..
the Jags are doing their bit to pay their last respects at the funeral of ex-OC 6 Sqn,ex-1st Gulf War Jag pilot and ex-Wallingford School-mate of mine,Gp Capt MJ”Mike” Seares MBE who sadly passed away at his Wallingford home over the recent Bank Holiday weekend
R.I.P…Mike
hope this helps
Colin

happy landings
