The Britannia

". . .And I was there! I am probably one of the 13 year old boys decked out in a beige nylon polo shirt with brown slacks you can see kicking the tyres. We picniced near the two Brits during the Air Show."

Thanks for that Mike. I was 16 then and I'm pretty sure that I took that photo very shortly after getting off our "Norwag" coach very close to the Brit's. I also remember walking a very long way airside. "Norwag" was the North West Aviation Group: anyone else here remember them and Eric Rowell?

The photos I took that day were amongst the earliest I took on my first reasonably decent camera-a Ricoh 500G-that my father had bought me a short time before. Sad to say, I can't remember anything of the display that day.
