Having done some 'simple sums' I realised that these cater for the over 45's memories, and that the younger generation(s) will be wondering what it was all about!
Seven more diverse 'smudges'. '80's and early '90's.

Lightning just before Binbrook snowstorm February 1987 by Fibrous Freddie, on Flickr
I had a severe 'moment' on the snowy roads as I escaped from the Lincolnshire Wolds after the Lightning shot... Luckily in my car I slid all the way down a snow covered hill road and missed all the 'street furniture' and parked cars. After time to re-compose it was back to Norfolk!!!
Enjoy (or not)!

Another great selection of shots and memories. I think that Starfighter shot was at Binbrook show in 1987, after the downpour had passed. Thanks for sharing these.

Binbrook was always a no-go zone when there was any snow around as there was only Spurn Point between it and the Arctic. Hope you had a change of underwear with you! As I used to live on the edge of the N.York Moors I had some pretty hairy experiences on snowy hills myself - one of which I consider myself fortunate to have survived. As for the pics liking the Tonka
( well caught in full burner) and the Gina.

It was all a bit different to Norfolk! We'd get 'nosebleed' when 'climbing the Cromer-Holt glacial moraine.
