ken anderson. Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 hello Denis....great days.i went with a posse from our club,we used to camp Friday till Monday. Prior to the show starting on the Saturday we used to watch the full size arriving on the Friday, and practicing their routines.

I do remember the Harrier That made some noise and was along the line of the crowd I did Elvington every single year until it's 1st closure, and always, when open, Cosford, Woodvale and Barkston. Great memories from your photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
