The RAFA Woodford Airshow on 24 June 1995 included a display by a pair of Russian Sukhoi SU-27 'Flanker' fighter aircraft. Unfortunately the low cloud ceiling didn't allow us to see the full extent of their aerobatic agility, but it was nevertheless a memorable experience. Here are the photographs I took on that occasion:
The timetable in the programme of the event says:
'1405 Sukhoi SU27s arrive from St Athan'
The timetable says:
'1735 Russian Test Pilots The fabulous Flankers in action'
Back to the aircraft parking area after their display
They've been my favourite aircraft ever since, although Woodford is the only place I've seen them. If I ever win the lottery, I'm doing this: http://www.flymig.com/packages/Su-27.flight.htm
