This is a link to a couple of old photos just sent to me that take me back!
Somewhere there are photos of:
9 Turbs at Farnborough Air Show (2 or 3 years of)
Tiger Moth formation aerobatics at the Biggin Hill Air Show (2 years of)
and the memorable Wisley show for the 50th Anniversary of the Royal Aeronautical Society when the storm blew Dick Emery in his Tiger into the refreshement tent, fortunately empty as even the waitresses had come out to see the end of the 'crazy flying' display when the same squall blew me into a cornfield, deprived in one second of all airspeed.
Happy days - G-ACDC is flying still!
