I was 12 years old and this show was absolutely incredible. Blew my mind. Little did we realise what a treat it was with all these amazing jets back then. Waddington/Scampton and these current Airshows are depressing compared to how it used to be. Such a shame. I'd love for my young lad to see a show like this. Thanks posting.

The Concorde and Vulcan in the same airshow, what could beat that!

Used to come here as a 15 year old air cadet and go flying in the chipmunk, loved it ! Remember taking off and seeing a Phantom in the fire dump, I was mortified, how could the burn such an iconic aircraft. Loved these air shows, when proper aircraft was around.

Waste of time and money going to airshows now, OK if all you want to see are the Typhoon and Red Arrows. These were great days, miss all the different types of aircraft. I feel sorry for the upcoming aviation enthusiasts, they missed out on the golden years.
@sqr20246 жыл бұрын
Kevin Houghton agreed! Seeing the Phantoms, Delta Darts, Voodoos, Starfighters, Thuds, Super Sabres, Concords and this beautiful Vulcan made one cry.
@markrayton63856 жыл бұрын
Kev Houghton I totally agree with you. This is when we had an airforce. I miss all the Cold War aircraft although the Lightning was my favourite. I was actually at this exact air show and it brought back some great memories. I with many others had a few tears when the Vulcan did her farewell fly past. Although we were lucky to see her back up in the skies some years later. I am so lucky to have seen all these aircraft fly.

A little hard to believe it’s been some 26 years since the last show of 1994. Living just a few miles from Finningley as a lad there were always some fantastic sights and sounds being an active Vulcan base but the air shows were something else and a truly window rattling experience with Phantom F4’s on full reheat and low level Concorde flypasts. Amazing but sadly never to be repeated.

The Vulcan's' performance is utterly insane for a long range strategic bomber. Can see how it would outmaneuver a MIg at high altitude when penetrating Soviet airspace. Utterly insane.

Wow. I was 6 back then and this was my first show. I went to finningley and C' Fenton until 94' then waddo and occasionslly riat since before stopping in 04. I started going again to waddington last year and to say i was disapointed is an understatement. Riat again this hope its an improvement. Thanks for the hairs on end nostalgia trip!

I can remember because of the low cloud base that day the Red Arrows cancelled and the Blue Angles showed them how to do a display, inc flying over the crowd. Great show. I can also remember the traffic getting in. My mate took 6hrs from Worksop to get in.

I was there and cant remember it being so dull. They used to put on a show for sure. Living in Doncaster took the show for granted as though it was a natural yearly occurrence and no reason to think it would end. It did and the air shows these days are only in name unfortunately. The Vulcan was then as it was post restoration a real crowd puller.
