Weston Park, approx 1978 and wondering who that bloke with the funny walk was…….Douglas Bader, but it meant nothing to me as a 10 year old. It does now as i can still remember his walk to his plane to take him away half way through the show.
Have a look at the other Cosford link thats going, its got pics on. last dated 30th April
Could not see any one near they air liners.
Never new Marham had airshows, would be nice to see Victors again
Ive read differnt things so have no idea.
Curly boy you sound really young
Cosford Sat 280406
Been to Cosford this morning (Sat) and it looks like they cut the hole in the side of the Trident to make it easier to throw the seats etc on to the floor outside. The front is partially blocked up.
On the way to Cosford i had to come via Newport and down the A41, not my usuall route. I was amazed at how far away you could see the new hanger. It sticks out like, i dont know what in the surrounding area. How on earth they have got planning permission for it, ill never know.
Come to think of it…………. I dont like it!!!!! i would much rather have prefered 2 or 3 more T2 hangers then at least they would have blended in. Give it 10 years at the most and this wedge of cheese shaped building will look as dated and naff as what ever you choose from the eighties.
Just trying to get other peoples thoughts and if i stand alone on this?





Time flys doesnt it?
Same here, remember (i think) going to shows in the 80s and 90s and seeing Vulcans, Bucs, Lightnings, Shackletons, Phantoms, Blackbirds, Mirage 3s, Ginas ………..the list goes on doesn’t it.
As they say you dont realise until its gone……….. Now if only some one had the determination (whoops i mean bottomless pit of money) to get a Vulcan flying again.
Have a look if you want but i have not made a very good job of them
Did they gaffer tape you to the side for the airborne Nimrod shot??????????
Just posted images from Sat on the other Cosford thread thats going
Sorry SOC (this is me showing my age) Megadeath are a spent force. 1st saw them in ’86 and they are not a patch on what they used to be.
Whats your best and worst gig?

If your thinking that some of the pics of the 707 are at a funny angle its cus i had to stand with the camera above my head to get the shots over fence. Thought anything was better than nothing.
Lightning still has the bullet off, must be nearly a year that its been like that!!!
