Back to the 1986 Mildenhall Air Fete. This was Sea King HAS.6 XV665 '08' operated by Royal Navy 810 NAS out of Culdrose. I am fairly sure that this dark blue colour scheme had little time left in use.
In the static at the 1986 Mildenhall Air Fete, this was Lynx HAS.2 XZ693 '633' operated by Royal Navy 702 NAS out of Portland loaded with four Sea Skua missiles. The Lynx and the Sea Skua proved to be a very deadly and effective combination.

This is the 1986 Mildenhall Air Fete and she is Phantom FGR.2 XV487 'Q' operated by RAF 29 Sqn out of RAF Coningsby. She was replaced by the new Tornado F.3 a year later. A well worn grey aircraft on a dark grey claggy day!
