Recommended Posts

Just been finishing one of my many boxes of slides scanned on to pc.  To take a little break from the civvy ones I thought you may like to see some from Middel Wallop. Only a few to start , then I will add more to this thread as I work on them.

But to start with a few of the Swedish Vertols that attended in 86 and 88.

A big aeroplane on a grass airfield. I was amazed at the time that such a big thing would land on grass!

P7350 as SH-D ( Or was it AB910?). Not a very good shot but included here for interest in as much as the two tone sky underside. Clearly a repaint repair.

Some great pics there, and an observation. Why is it that our Belgian friends always seemed to send Seaking RS-04

to UK airshows??

Funny you say that, I saw S-58 OT-ZKD a lot of times as well.

Thanks for comments Keep 'em coming as I will have more Wallop pics ready soon. Re The Belgian Sea King, I always thought it was a strange choice of colours for the camo scheme.  At the time I thought that they would look smart in the same colours as the S-58 Choctaw.
