Brustem airshow 21-24 June 1968. Part 1/2

[Keflavik69]

The Belgian 'vliegmeeting' of 1968 was held at the Brustem airbase. I was there for four days but I cannot remember if it was open to the public all those days. I will split the photos in two parts because of the quantity. I hope you like the selection.

Thanks once again Arnold, some wonderful shots and great memories. Nice to see the Valetta, the nose section still exists somewhere. But the whole selection is great and thank you once again for taking the time to upload them.

Once again you have taken my breath away with your superb shots. I know a lot is down to access, but your photography is
wonderful as is the subject matter. Regards, Gordon

Excellent pics, thanks for posting. I'd love to see a colour one of the Macaws scheme, I haven't that design before.

[Punkrunner62]

Another outstanding selection Arnold, top quality scans as usual and showing just how effective black and white is as a medium.
Cheers.

[MR TERRY GREEN]

Wonderful pictures,Quality all the way.

A superb selection as always, Arnold. The F-102 stands out for me, and I saw that one at Lossie when they were being returned to the States. Thanks for posting.

[Ridge Runner]

Absolutely wonderful, Arnold! I love the F-84F, and the F-104s, of course

Eagerly awaiting part 2......or did I miss it?

[LM47]

Thanks again for another superb collection.
The C-119J isn't seen too often. Used to get them at LM on occasions.

Was a very pleasant surprise to meet you at Pik today and I hope you have your time machine fixed for LM on Monday

[robinminffordd]

Congratulations on some fine and evocative photos

[Supra]

Absolutely wonderful selection of superb images from way back in the Day. Aerobatic Teams were like busses back then, they came & went without most people noticing, often changing names for no real reason!

Superb set, thanks for posting.

Long shot, but does anyone know who was flying the Harrier? Pre RAF service, so presume a test pilot from Hawker Siddeley.
