Treadigraph-
certainly was the same crew, also seen to be very low on recovery from the loop at the Finningley show.We lost a RAF Phantom display in '89 but the OCU was back with a vengeance in '90 with a stonking solo- without a full loop in the sequence.One forgets how much oomph thoses speys had - great memories - thanks to all those display crews!!
CK-
was the accident rate that bad in the early 90s??- I can think of at least as many serious and not so serious prangs during the 90s and into C21st. This year in partic.
Argus-
Indeed, most of us, me included only remember the public and /or the ones that reach/ed the media.So many lost doing their "day job"
Worth a thought from all of us.
Slightly off the original thread,I recall seeing a report of a FAA Phantom crash at Abingdon in 1978, again during a display practice- anyone any info?? Certainly wasn't the BoB display in the September.
