This aircraft crashed near Nantwich, Cheshire, quite close to where it is seen here, after it collided with a similar aircraft, XV754 on 19th January, 1976

From the days before the ban on tobacco advertising, the Rothmans Team were a familiar sight at UK Airshows

After use as an RJ70 demonstrator, was intended for NAC in Indonesia as PK-DTC but ntu, going instead to Australia's National Jet Systems as VH-NJR

A Handley Page Victor is evident under the tail, awaiting conversion to K Mk2 tanker status. This was my place of work, where cameras were prohibited a rule that did not seem to be enforced the day before the Airshow was on. Very little work seemed to be done either!

This was my place of work where even taking a camera into the premises was a disciplinary offence. I managed to snatch this photograph at lunch-time when no-one was about. In 1989 this aircraft went to the Vallance By-Ways Collection, which became the Gatwick Aviation museum ten years later.
