As this year marks the 40 th Ann. of Yorkshire Air Museum I'm putting together a pictorial history and wonder whether anyone out there has any pics of the trio of YAM replicas (Wright Flyer, Avro 504, & BE2) which featured in 100 Yrs of Powered Flight static display @ RIAT '03. Ideally one showing them in the line up rather than close ups of the indiv airframes. Pl. message me if you can help.

Thanks eLaRef but these are nt really suitable as the only YAM replica depicted is the BE2 in the b/ground of the 1st pic. As I believe the Museum sent down a ground crew I'm sure they'll have some pics of the event.

Aahh OK
I hadn't realised there was more than 1 of each!!
If you asked,I would say I was sure I photographed everything that was in the static, but even 50 years ago I toured Pima before it was open, photographed everything (I thought) in sight, only years later to find out I had missed a C-133 (Not easy!!) and a C-45
And I've maintained the tradition up to Mramar '23 at least (I never even noticed the Customs C-35!
