Hi Fluffy,
many thanks for the info. I didn’t go to Aldergrove as I had heard that the display was cancelled due to the death of Robert Dunlop at the circuit. Would this have been right or did I miss you?
I know it’s an old topic but ..
Farnborough 88. Walking to the exit at the end of the last public day and in a near empty car park two to the airfields fire trucks were going around in circles soaking each other. When they had had enough of this they turned their hoses onto a poor WPC who was directing traffic. She was soaked to the skin 🙂
Unfortunately it didn’t fly the day I was there. Just towed from it’s display rank, down the runway and parked behind the tree line facing the crowd line. I think the only Russion to fly that day was the Mig-29.
Modern: Has to be the Typhoon – saw one over the Summer and it was fantastic:
Historic: Has to be the Mosquito – In my mind the most beautiful aircraft ever built
During the BOB was it not the job of the Spitfires to take out the escorts to allow the Hurricanes a free run at the bombers.
