A few more of the Lanc “event”
Just about to turn the 180 – note the tailwheel deflection

Fun over and at rest with Avro’s jet bomber taking centre stage..

Have’nt got many prints of the Dak, this is from 94-

And this is how she looked prior to the BBMF- I’m sure someones got her as KG661!

A few more..
1992 – I’ve put this one in as it shows poor old PA474 having a bad moment at Mildenhall. On touchdown she violently skewed off the runway toward the press enclosure before turning a full 180 and coming to rest. You can just see the dust and sods of earth being thrown up. I presume the word sod was used quite a lot in those few moments!…

1993

1994

Totally agree with you Adrian. In fact it could almost be identical if everything goes as planned as De Havilland Aviation are seeking CAA permission to carry drop tanks – which will give XP924 an extra 300 nautical miles range.

😀 This is starting to sound better and better- on paper! Put the AAR probe back on and some buddy tanks and the RAF could hire it as a stand in tanker! BUT, following repainting has it got sponsorship to fly??? :confused:

Loads of old airshow memories/lists including many Woodfords etc here….

if he was a bit late we would be down at 150-200ft or occassionally lower.

Gulp! 😮 That would mean an instant call to land at most displays these days then! Thanks for the reply, so there was a fair amount of negative push , what sort of minus g we talking? I take it the same sequence was continued with the Swords in T5s then including the inverted push/flypast? Sorry for the questions but I’m fascinated about old mil dispay teams.

I have contributed under another thread but here it is again:-
I joined Manby in 1972 and was selected to fly in the MACAWS at the end of that year for the 1973 season.
The 1973 team consisted of Pete Diggance, leader. John Aldington number 2 myself number 3 and Mick Marriott number 4, with Sqn Ldr Bob Hillman the manager and Frank Redmond the commentator.
We displayed all over the UK and the continent, generally transitting in a 5 ship formation at low level.
Manby school of refresher flying closed at the end of 1973 and we moved to RAF Leeming where we reformed as the Swords, flying Mark 5’s
The team consisted of Bob Thompson (ex Gemini pair) as the leader, John Aldington number 2, myself number 3 and Dick Thomas number 4. As my position was pedominantly on the left of the formation i flew from the right hand seat.
At the end of 1974 all but the Red Pelicans were disbanded due to the fuel crisis
I will dig out some pictures if anyone is interested.

Fascinating! Any chance of the sull synopsis of your display sequence? I believe you were the only jet team to do the uncomfortable outside push into an inverted flypast??
I have the Macaws as appearing at Biggin Hil air fair, Cottesmore and Coltishall BoB displays.
Re your quote, the Poachers survived until the 1976 season.

Thanks for the input – JPs rule!
