Flypast reports for Greenham Common 1973, 74 and 76

[gwoof]

So having just acquired the BARG DVD covering these 3 shows I was curious as to what "we" recorded on our visits.

Does anyone have their old magazines with these shows in and can they either copy or scan them in to either a reply to this message or send them via email to me?

Nostalgia is creeping in more and more these days

TIA

I'll have a look in the morning.

As the 1975 MAS 'Flypast' folder is on the table behind the PC monitor, had a look through - seemingly every show in the country - except IAT Greenham Common. So no luck there from me for that year, unless I was there and have personal log - but that will take some digging out! Brian.

Ian, found the 1973 (one side) and 1974 (two sider) Greenham Common Reports in MAS 'Flypast'. The MAS operated a two-day trip in 1973, with the PFA on Saturday, IAT on Sunday, overnight in Oxford - separate reports for the two events. Even in the bright light of day-time have failed again to locate a Greenham Common listing in the 1975 magazines!

As I have transparencies for the 1973 and 1974 displays, I was clearly there (probably on the MAS coach for both), but not 1975 as I was in the USA. Currently selecting a new image 'host' after several disastrous choices, so am not posting images at the moment, and have plenty on my plate without scanning, cleaning and posting photos - but it is a thought for the future as there were great aeroplanes around at the time! Much depends on how long 'lock-down' lasts and how quickly I get through other 'projects'.

Ian, PM me your current e-mail and I'll attach scans of the lists, and if anyone else fancies the Greenham Common IAT lists for 1973 and 1974 they are welcome to do so too. Brian.

There wasn't an Air Tattoo in 1975. It returned in 1976 as the International Air Tattoo with 1977 being the last annual event at there. The 1983 IAT was the last one held at Greenham Common.

Doh!

I've just, in light of the "Woody 66" post, looked a little more carefully at the thread title and seen (for the first time) that the final year is 1976 (not 75 so logically completing the sequence from 73, 74 and ..).

Back to bookcase and find that, YES, Flypast did cover the 1976 IAT at Greenham Common with a 6 side spread, and also find that I did not go that year as I have no transparencies listed for '76.

Now, all I need is for "gwoof" to come back to me with an e-mail address by PM.

Thanks for looking. PM on way!
