Linton Graduation Day - August '07

[F3]

To celebrate Linton's reprieve (earlier this week) from the unwelcome prospect of re-use as a centre for accommodating asylum seekers by the Home Office, here is a selection of images from a Graduation Day 15 yrs ago. One of the last I attended and certainly the last really good one which included displays by Spitfire Mk. 16, Hawk and Grob plus a cameo by the F3 together with flypasts by Typhoon and Tornado GR4 and the customary Tucano 9 ship. I've spent money to get into worse displays than this exceptional freebie!

Hi Mick

I’ve certainly shelled out good money for worse fare

Always good to see shots of the F3 Tornado

Thanks for posting
