An airshow at Wilson Airport, Nairobi around 1970/71. Can remember KAF Caribou doing an assault landing, aerobatics in a Beagle Pup, a mass parachute drop from a Police Air Wing Dak (with one unfortunate landing in the neighbouring Nairobi Game Reserve and being retreived by a Bell 47) and a Chippy chopping up bog-roll, sorry, streamers, with the prop and dead-sticking after the stuff choked the carb intake - I was all of six or seven!
First in this country was the IAT at Greenham Common 1976 - KC-97 in the static most memorable, 25th birthday of the Hunter, plus Upper Heyford's F-111s were in residence while UH got a facelift. Rothmans were there, think poor old Manx Kelly had been lost by then. Peter Philips flew the Islander - and there was the B-17, BoBMF, Mossie, etc, etc...
