    As far as I can recall 1988 was the last SR-71 flight display at Mildenhall.

    At least I have some slides from 1988 with a SR-71 performing a flight display. These slides are not scanned sofar.
    In 1989 there was only a SR-71 at the static

    A few more from Mildenhall 1989 can be found in this set : http://flic.kr/s/aHsjrrPJuH
    It is only a starter set for various scans to be processed & uploaded

    A reference to Airshow lists can be found here: http://www.scramble.nl/showreports.htm
    But these lists are not always specified to static or flying

    For those intrested ,I have uploaded a set from Fairford 2004 departure day.

    Thanks for the reply.

    The canopy is indeed from a F-105
    It is part of a whole range “bits and pieces” from lost aircraft ,specialy in both war museums in Hanoi.

    F-4B PHANTOM ,Bu153001 (USN 153001NH-210) Wreckage

    In contrast to what you may expect ,you wouldn’t find much war wreck & relics in Vietnam nor cambodia.

    Scrap metal was the #1 export product after the war.

    In addition to the Vietnam Air Museums thread ,a few from Cambodia.

    The famous temple complex Angkor Wat is located in Siem Reap.
    The village holds also a War museum.
    The museum is not commonly known ,even our local guide didn’t know the existance.

    Main part of the museum holds tanks ,guns and small arms ,basicly all in bad condition.

    In front of the museum stands a Shenyang F-6 (Mig-19S) Farmer and a Mil-8T
    These are the only aviation Wreck & relics in Cambodia.
    The Mig is partly stripped by souvenir hunters.

    Besides that ,The Dutch roundel has white on the lower side ,not on the rh-upper side.

    Could it be that he shot Czech aircraft instead of Dutch?

    Thanks Nielis ,

    Although I’m not a battlefield expert ,the markings and the date (may 13 1940) relate to the airwar over Holland in 1940.
    For sure ,Czech didn’t fly Fokker T-V’s and G-1’s

    13/05/40 – Dutch Fokker TV near Dordrecht
    13/05/40 – Dutch Fokker G1 near Dordrecht
    18/05/40 – French Morane MS.406 near Douai
    24/05/40 – RAF Spitfire near Dunkirchen
    14/06/40 – RAF Fairey Battle 18km south of Vernon

    Same aircraft, shot down 1940, sent to Canada and USA and eventually ended up in Bournemouth with a private owner before being bought by IWM. Quoted as both Bf109E-3 and Bf109E-6.

    Great Thread ,

    I’m looking for a detailed shot of the kill-marks on the Me-109.
    Sofar I believe that the kill-marks belongs to the pilot and not to the actual aircraft.
    The pilot (Karl Ebbinghausen) shot down a Fokker T-V and Fokker G-1 near Dordrecht on May 13 1940.
    This was the basicly the last operational sortie of the Dutch AF.

    If you have a detailed shot of the kill-marks ,it would be appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Johan
