"The show was also remembered for a load of Hunters doing a long and low, high speed pass earlier in the show. The noise will never be forgotten"
No way!! Not at that show! Hunters had long since left Brawdy in '86! Only one at the show was unfortunately G-HUNT
Not a blue note any where!!
Must check my prints to see if theres anything missing off the a/c - surely simply loosing "a panel" (such as cvix at Coventry and GAF Tonka at Leuchars this year) wouldnt have lead to a catastrophic crash? Are there any official crash reports available??
As a follow up, the Alconbury show 3 days later included a 4 ship RF4C missing man in memorial to the lost crew.
Two years later I had again the misfortune of witnessing a graphic Phantom crash when the RAF display ship went in after failing to pull out of a loop. RAF Abingdon - practising for the show on the Friday.
Both so Tragic - at this time of year "we will remember them".
