UK- US Base Airshows

I started with Biggin Hill from 1968 through to 200? and when I was able to travel on my own I went to Farnborough in the seventies - a lot of US YFs flying then! At the same time I went to Greenham Common - very tiring on the legs and a 10 hour air show for which I usually too ten rolls of slide film. By the eighties I added West Malling, North Weald, Duxford and even Old Warden along with a single Fairford, which was disappointing. Only went to Mildenhall once but the burgers and beers do tend to stick in you memory - cheap if I recall it was the one of the few times I drank alchohol at an air show the previous one being a few pints at a wet Farnborough.

Incidentally all the airshow crashes that occurred at the ones I went to were either on the other day or in the case of the helicopter at Biggin, whilst I was in the traffic jam going there. The only one I witnessed was the Me 109 tipping up at the end of the runway at Biggin, that was not really a crash so I was lucky over the years.
