A good place to get some JP photos is RAF Cosford on a week day when the Line Training Flight where students are taught ground handeling and marshalling using JP’s.

I Spent a day there last year and it really was like taking a step back a few years. You usually get up six or so Jp’s parked out on the apron and taxying back and forth.

I popped into Cosford a few weeks ago, the BAC 1-11 was parked down by the VC10 and the Argosy was parked on the airfield side near the shooting range.

In March last year I had the opportunity to do some taxying in a JP Mk 5 at Cosford. Good fun.

Shoreham, first ever visit and already looking forward to next year.

Fave acts – Denny Dobsons triple ribbon cut at Elvington.
Mark Linney in the Sabre also at Elvington.
Spanish F-18 at Waddington.
Guy Westgate Glider display at Shoreham.

I’d loved to have seen the 747 at DX.

I thought so, I saw you depart. Nice aircraft.;)

Alexis, The pole did just seperate rather than snap due to a fault with the pole. It was fixed for today and it was fine but the pole is to be replaced this week in time for Shoreham next weekend.
The poles are made of carbon fibre and are therefore very strong, the reason the pole is bending so much in the last shot is that the holder is pulling the ribbon too tight.

Best display of the weekend (apart from Denny). Mark Linney in the F-86.

Yep, Rutan Varieze’s. They flew a great routine on three days of the show and certainlt added a different look. I didn’t expect them to perform formatiom aerobatics either.

One other prop, Denny Dobsons Extra 300.
