RAF Thorney Islland photos

Although I now live in the US, I lived in Fareham, Hants for most of the 70's and have a few pictures of the goings on at Thorney. I have selected a variety, I think that I have more but cannot quite lay my hands on them at the moment.

Anyway here are a few:



The mortal remains of Beverley XL132 lying in the mud off the end of the r/w, this may be the "Hercules" referred to in a previous post.


The first Bulldog T1 for the RAF XX513, 1975


XS644 taxying out for take off, June 1976


FAF Noratlas on finals


Everybody's favourite, Snoopy


Jet Provost XM346 on the dump 1975
