Cool 16 ship Photos.

Wander00,
No luck with the photos yet. I was in the back seat of yellow1.
On the Sunday of the actual flypast we went U/S on trying to start up. A frenzied sprint for the reserve, which was at the far end of the flightline, was followed by start up and taxi as considerable speed and then playing catch-up over Menai Straights .
We caught yellow section over that long lake south of Snowdon and finally got "in" as the formation was turning in for the flypast.
On returning to Valley we were the first section to break from zeroish feet. What a way to spend a Sunday. The ensuing party was a fitting end to a wonderful day.

Per Ardua Ad Louhgebar.,
D
