RAF Church Fenton

Here is another video from my old VHS collection,this time i have put 4 different aircraft on this clip,
We have the Battle of Britain memorial flight minus the spitfire,Gloster meteor,and lastly i think it is a Grumman Tigercat,if i am wrong i am sure there is someone out there who can correct me. lol.

Its 92'. I was 6 years old back then and got a free helicopter ride on a Bell Jetranger( the bloke forgot to ask my dad for the 18 quid). It was Fenton' then onto Finningley 92'. Church Fenton being the second to last time I saw the Vulcan in flight.

They'll be in the loft at my parents probably! But next time I go I'll see if I can find them.
