The Southampton Seawings display in 2000(?) was memroable. I chose the end of the runway at Lee-on-Solent where most of the aircraft were operating from. The canberra doing a low pass on return from its display as it passed the end of the runway at around 100 ft 😮 , causing afew to duck. The US based Albatross was also a memroable flyby as was its touch and go in the Solent. Would be nice to see a repeat show but with a couple of Cats on the water.
The IAT’s at Greenham always seemed special, although I was only little at the time. I think as they were then only every 2 years, and that you rarely saw many foreign military at uk shows, made them even more special.
Loved the BoB displays at Abingdon. The 1990 BoB anniversary flypast was memroable. But the thing that sticks in my mind was a awsome Lightning display around 1979.

remember Seawings very well,if only it could be repeated,eh??
Since those days I have expanded my activities within the realms of aviation enthusiasm to that of being a reggie-spotter,but do you think I could find a list of participants at Seawings….NO!!!!
There-fore I wish to ask if you,or anyone else,has a list for the aircraft which actually displayed over Southampton Water
many thanks in advance
