I remember her and many other Swiss hunters at the 50th anniversary show at Kemble. Great memories

That Kemble show was fantastic. 15 privately owned Hunters, none of which went u/s during the whole weekend. An amazing show, never to be repeated.

Great show as you say, seeing them all in the air and getting close to get some great static shots. Loved Kemble shows such a pity no more.
