Airshows 2017

Cheers Steve.
And great pics from you too.
I didn't realise the 2x F16s in close formation where Czech Air Force. Assumed they were US. Just noticed the roundels.
Also,... glad you got the Reds and Thunderbirds in formation. My batteries decided to go flat at that exact moment,

They're Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16's Ed. They arrived on Friday evening in formation.

Doh!,... Yeah. As usual sir, you are correct.
But until now, I never realised how similar the Netherlands and Czech Air Force roundels are.
Pretty much just the orange dot in the centre separates the two.

Superb photographs there Stevie from both shows. Especially love the Square D shot of the Tanker ? of the former 100th BG

Really brilliant shots Steve wish I had gone now !!

The registration is around 1965 though! Nice condition though. I assume this was another variation of the Mini although I don't recall this design. My Observers Book of Automobiles is in the loft

The Wolseley Hornet was of the same design. As were the Riley 1.5 and Wolseley 1500. See link for the former of these.

My Dad had a Wolseley 1500 in Beige during 1970. A four door model (Don't think there was a two door version) We went down to Dawlish for a holiday at that time. Took most of the day, no Motorways then. Good old days....

Nice. I'm liking the Imp/Chamois hiding behind it too

There you are Iain, also a miniature VW Camper and finally the Beer Bus.
