Blue Eagles Team News for 2006

Mid season retrospective – 30 July to 17 August 2006

The two week mid-season break, a well deserved break in a busy schedule, means that we have a quick opportunity to delve into Colin Hawksworth’s private photgraph collection for a few of his more memorable moments from the season thus far. Many thanks to his good lady wife for the excellent camera she gave him for his birthday! The pictures below are from Culdrose, Fairford and Farnborough. The Team are displaying at Dawlish, Eastbourne and Elvington’s Yorkshire Air Show immediately after the mid-season break from 17th to 20th of August, so nothing like easing back into it for them! Unfortunately, circumstances prevented the web team from attending these shows, but we will try to get as many pics as we can from the shows in the near future. Many thanks for all your guest book entries about the shows, we are very sorry we missed them!
