I bet they won't beat May 1970. Mil involvement then was: 4 x USAF RF4c from 10TRW, 4 x F100D of 48TFW and an HH3e. The Belgians had 2 x F104s and a Pembroke and the dutch lobbed in an F104 as well. RAF had a full range from Gnats to a Vulcan. There were no less than 28 Chipmunks and three Spitfires: BN597 on gate, K9942 on static and PM631 flying. Quite a few civvies around and the highlight of the morning was Northair Beagle B206, at that time almost new, having a whoopsy on landing in front of the entire crowd. Ah the memories.
