St Athans 75th anniversary

Posted elsewhere but copied over as some may be interested.

St Athan airfield will be celebrating its 75th anniversary on July 9th 2013 and they will be carrying out a flypast of all types of aircraft or personnel that may have had links to the base. At the moment there is a Hornet Moth, pembroke and Beech 18 and maybe some others from hunter Flying. If anyone else would like to participate they can contact Jane Bissett on 01446797118

Can they get their hands on an F4? A Harrier? Buccaneer?

All visitors when I was there.

I did many a Full Air Test of the VC10K from Scrapheap Challenge, RAF St.Athan.

Hopefully someone will find the time to include a VC10 flypast at Saints....

Tornado F3?

An awful lot of time and money spent on those at Saints.

What about the flypast of 'personnel'? I may have read that wrong, but I have visions of old SWOs being catapulted over the domestic site to thunderous applause.
