Boscombe Down Airshow 1992


F-32

Recommended Posts

I really wish I'd had a better camera than my Canon Sure Shot Mega Zoom!

And looking at the background of these pics I wish I'd taken more shots, I missed so much in those days...................bugger!

Anyway, for those not lucky enough to be there (or born!) here are a few of the better attempts.

Just to let you know that blue Phantom still exists and is in fact at Tangmere Museum in Sussex.

 

I've literally just found this out - the exact serial number.

 

I went to 1992 as well as a 5 year old with me parents.

 

I now volunteer on occasional Saturdays at Tangmere and my mate works on this Phantom!

 

Small world.

That's 'Diamond Lil' from the (as was) Confederate Air Force, which  toured the UK that summer. In fact, if you have old Flypast magazines from that summer, they used one of my photos for their ad!

 

This is her at Harlingen, back in 1990:

 

A900187

 

 

This is the shot they used in Flypast: 

 

A900191

 

They neither credited or paid me, but at the time I was just happy to be in print.........

I remember going. Mrs T and I went down to London and stayed with my sister in law and went on my own on the Saturday. The weather was hot and sunny and it was a great airshow. Have got my slides somewhere. Thanks for the photographs.

What a great show that was and how good would it have been to have today's digital camera technology back then. What is also shows is what a great time the early 90s were for airshow visitors and how thin the modern events are in comparison.
