Air Tattoo Fairford 1995

[womas]

In my notes for this show on the 22nd of july are a P-38, P-47, P-51, Spitfire and a Hurricane but no serials. Can't find the checklist anymore, nor are they mentioned in Scramble Showreports. Can anyone shed more light on their identities?

The show check list does not report on any of the types you have mentioned.

They were:
P-38J 267543/NX3145X
P-47M 226671/NX47DD
P-51D 463221/G-BTCD
plus BBMF PZ865/J, AB910/EB-J

Excellent, thank you very much. The usual suspects for that time, but couldn't be sure.

Hmm found one more open line, on the 22nd there was a Harrier in the airshow (I assume the flypast) with code 08. Believe it was 1 Squadron. Anyone for the ID?

Not sure about AB wearing EB-J, she was painted in 402 Sqn D-Day markings at that time I think (90-97)? Be interested to hear differently - temporary scheme perhaps?

According to the " Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, 50 Years of Flying " book , AB910 was painted as AE-H 1994-1998 ( apart from the April 1997 visit to USA). It was painted as EB-J for 1990 only .

The checklist in the IAT 95 book also lists it as AE-H.
