	A10 Warthog from Bentwaters seen 1983. There was 4 of them they arrived about 3 days early so they flew practice displays every Day. Finally they were "asked" to leave by the Station Commander after complaints about them buzzing the Fenton Flyer Car park. ( I think the C.O. was jealous,  that@s where all the spectators were.)
	USAF C141 Starlifter at Air show 1982, the year not many of the scheduled aircraft turned up for one reason or another. The organisers had to beg a British Airways Jumbo to do a low fly past. (passengers must have been confused)

	A Jordanian F5e arriving at Church Fenton ahead of the support team.
	Royal Jordanian Air Force support team arrive at Church Fenton for a two week visit. They spent all of their spare time down in the Flyer drinking milk! They loved to trade with the lads on camp, cap badges, cap, shoes and all manner of things. I will always remember their impeccable manners, hospitality and very well spoken English. Genuine offers to people to visit them in Jordan were common.
	F5e taxiing in after a very polished display. It would be nice to see the team again in the UK.
	Good old Airfix! Assembling a Jaguar prior to display, the Jag arrived by road. (Without tax and Mot) Crane skills were supplied courtesy of Mr Pat Yates of Airfield MT.
	A real aeroplane approaching over the village for a landing at Church Fenton. The Paraffin Budgies stand in awe at the magnificent VC10. (Always gave me a feeling of an impending holiday)
