I'm so envious of European airshows. So many different types of aircraft on display.

Where was the first one taken? The Valiant in the background means its not Fairford or Greenham Common, but much older, so maybe a Waddington or Finningley at home day?

The SC54 picture was taken at a Prestwick air show around 1960,cant remember the exact one.

Taken by my father with a Eumig 35mm camera.

Prestwick at that time had a USAF base and the 67 ARS was based there with SC54s and SA16 Albatross,if I remember correctly the SH19 Chickasaw's departed a couple of years earlier.

A large number of very interesting aircraft used Prestwick,happy days

Thanks for the information. It's really interesting seeing all the really old stuff.

 

I started doing photography properly in the late 80's, so i'm lucky enough to have seen some variety too, especially as i have done an awful lot of foreign aviation tours, but i feel sorry for the enthusists nowadays as there are so few shows to go along to.
