My father was W.D.S. ( Dave) Waddington. He led the "Linton Blades" in their formation year, 1970. The Blades was an aerobatic group, flying T5 Jet Provosts, based out of Linton-On-Ouse formed by Instructors from 1 FTS.
I recently found a few photo negative strips containing these pictures. I had them scanned in, cleaned them up a bit & put them in a rough sequence ( If you look very closely you see there are different planes featured ).
I assume that the regular Blades members were flying in these pics. The pilots are listed at the begining of the "video"
( music WAS by Pink Floyd ... But Sony have blocked the video in 10 countries world wide .. So I changed the music to some copyright free Bach. My old man would have preferrred that !
Jan 2024 - the Bach is now copyrighted & KZread blocked the video .... so I chose some other uncopyrighted crap - can't work out how to remove the sound track . Whatever - please enjoy !)
