My first ever visit to Upavon was on 16th June 1962 for the big "50th Anniversary of Military Aviation" air show there
Yes, I was there too and I also still have the programme (somewhere). An amazing display. I remember the P1127 (Bill Bedford?) flew in at high speed with a Hunter chase aircraft and then slowed down and stopped!

I also remember the 38 Group set piece and the Beverleys landing on the grass.

So the big question is - what will the RAF do for the 100th anniversary next year? A mass Tutor fly-past?
