COLTISHALL 19th MAY 1986

[Blue Diamond]

Some scanned prints from an excellent day at the crash gate. I've some more shots of this visit somewhere, just a matter of finding which album they're in.

First off what a great set of pics from 32 years ago - makes me feel old!

Hope you don't mind but I was going through the Norfolk Air Review to see why I missed the Italians. This cast doubt on your date (if you have an interest in accuracy for your records if not apologies).

The 18th was a Sunday (I went to Colt on the 17th to see 54 Sqn's 70th anniversary flying - Ginas were hangared)

ZA553 arrived as an emergency on 15th and left on 21st - as your shots show fire crew and tug suggests 15th.

NAR lists Puma XW209 visiting on 19th.

Italians were there 13th to 21st.

Finally XX833/AY was one of several apparently on loan at the time.

Hope this is of use.

Liking the sharkmouth Ginas and that last one's the pick of the bunch.

Cheers. Just checked my notes and I was there on the 19th so the 18th was a typo. That ties in with the Puma but not the arrival of the Tonka on the 15th. Wonder if it went for an air test and took poorly again.

Great stuff, last shot is nice.
