I remember visiting Panshangar in January, 1962 and there was a Viking there parked over the far side. I understand it was owned by TD Keegan.

I would say there was no chance of a display by the F-15’s, it will be a result if they turn up.
There hasnt been a dedicated demo crew in the USAFE since 1991 although Lakenheaths jets have been used by the stateside demo pilots at RIAT and Legends in 07 when an E model flew as part of the Heritage Flight and did a solo routine as well.

Well they certainly turned up and passed over my house very low 4 times while awaiting their turn. A magnificent sight!

I flew to Jersey, via Guernsey, on the 31st August, 1958 in G-AIFO.

Perhaps you came back on its return journey. It was unusual to use the Wayfarers on that route as they were slow, noisy and uncomfortable.

My Avatar was taken aboard a DC6 of IFA Belgium on a joy flight from Gatwick along the south coast on the 23rd October, 1977.

Does anyone know if “The Startled Saint” still exists at West Malling?

I believe at one time it was within the boundary of the airfield and the pub sign depicted St Leonard being buzzed by Spitfires!

Very interesting photos. I’m off to Sydney in October on a Qantas A380 – I can’t wait!

John Prescott joining the Lords is as hypocritical as Diane Abbott’s son going to a private school! It seems to be a question of “do as I say, not do as I do”!
