[@kathy-nu2cq]

I was there in 1966 but had just moved to New Zealand in 1969. Thanks for the memory.

Awesome.. thanks 👍🇳🇿

I was there in 69 ...at Lossie High School the class, in primary 5, was split into 4 groups named after FAA aircraft ...I was in the Buccaneer's. Mrs Britten was the teacher and her husband worked on the base.

A great reminder of Airshows and music of my younger days. Wonderful! With fewer flight restrictions on the displays too.

[@muttman325]

I was five and can still smell 1966. Evocative and full of hope.

[@gtu00]

I was probably at the 1969 show, aged 9. These annual shows at Lossie were a highlight of my childhood. Fantastic to see this, so many years later.

[@daveskelton9905]

Thank you so much! I was there for both air days... I was 5 in 66! Great memories of sitting on the pil box at the end of the runway!

[@TonyCutress]

We used to travel over from RAF Kinloss which had Shackletons based there that our fathers flew in.

[@jackshepherd6276]

I was there on that day in 1969, it still remains one of the best days of my life. The Vulvcan flew low over the crowd to start its display. Happy memories and thanks for sharing.

[@dennistaylor3009]

Remember it well and very nice to see it especially i now live in Lossiemouth x.

[@andyworrall7406]

My dear father was SATCO at Lossiemouth. We lived in a married quarter at Milltown and regularly circuits and bumps for breakfast!

[@nigeh5326]

So many great aircraft always liked the RN 892 Phantoms that flew from Ark Royal.

[@hmfc2005]

Brilliant! Flew my wee student Bulldog there in 1989, can't remember much about the week thanks to the 'scruffs' bar and insanely cheap drink prices!

[@sjwmoore]

some excellent footage

[@frostyfrost4094]

Thoses Scimitars were very scary used to send me running indoors from the top of the garden....never been the same since

[@Zapple7]

Yep, was there too, those were indeed the days all right, not much beats the old Vulcan taking off and barrel-rolling from 05-23 on its way back home.. pity not a little bit more film of everyone there, might have seen a quick clip of me as a little innocent teenager !!

[@nigeh5326]

Love the Gnat it was so tiny the MG Midget of the sky in its day 👍

[@climbtherainbow]

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing. Some fabulous types there, and some bloody ugly ones (Sea Vixen?). The view from the 23 threshold is still the same more than 50 years on, including the broom!! Thanks again, much appreciated.

[@animaltvi9515]

Must just be me then but I really like the sea vixen. Unfortunately I never got to see one flying.

[@christiansteffen8395]

ahh najs!

[@Ferr1963]

10:11 When I was a boy I built this same Spitfire XIV & the V1 from a FROG kit. Very primitive kit, but when you're 8, you don't care.

[@johnrobbo69]

Thank you

[@alanwoodcock6542]

I was there as ground crew on 764 really enjoyed lissie

[@grumpyoldman8661]

Has the RN got a true air arm anymore? I notice that (apart from the helicopters) the jets on the Queen Elizabeth carrier are actually RAF. (UK)

[@davidknowles3459]

Some of the F35's are Naval planes.With more to come

[@animaltvi9515]

Was that silver javelin a one off thort they were all camouflaged.
