Aerobatic Display Teams site updates

[Dave Homewood]

I have added a few updates to the aerobatic teams webpages on my site this week. The most interesting are some photos from the 1966 CFS Wigram Harvard team sent to me by Gavin Trethewey.

Also Gavin sent me a couple of Roaring Forties photos, and with his help I have also added a new section on the awesome Fokker Triplane team.

The Fokkers are not strictly an aerobatics team of course, but after seeing them at Omaka I realised that they are a unique formation display team and really deserve such recognition. If anyone has photos of the aircraft in formation, or photos of the pilots together I'd be really grateful.

I have also added the team from 1978 who flew the No. 14 Squadron Strikemasters at Wigram thanks to Craig Brankin supplying the details.

The new updates can be found linked to here on the CFS, Civil and 14 Squadron pages

Dave,
I will add quite a few photos to this site in the coming weeks and you are more than welcome to take the photos off there as well.
I have group photos and I will give you a couple of those as well but I cant quite yet

Thanks Gavin, that's really very much appreciated mate.

Thanks Craig, much appreciated. I have added these details in now. Another gap filled.

I know these were John Bates, Frank Parker and Colin Pearce, but does anyone know the first names of Messers Ginders and Jannessen?
