Lossie 78-79, Swingers and Slufs

Post by toom317 » Tue Oct 29, 2024 8:14 pm

Continuing with the Lossie 78-79 theme are these F111's and A7's. The A7's were over once again for the Tactical Bombing Competition. I've only got pics of seven airframes but don't know if that is all they brought with them this time.

Love the camouflaged ladder against 68-0073/UH

What a fearsome jet the F-111E was - wish I had more photos of them

Great memories

I don't have too many myself and the Flickrs add-on that would search my collection and create an album, no longer works, so hopefully this is all of them

Brilliant - always loved the F-111 :thumb: A very capable aircraft especially in the Gulf War

Great to see them from earlier in their days in the U.K. with the white tail codes

Thanks for posting
