Greenham Common? That's going back a while. I remember going there in about 1982 or 83, i think it might have 'featured' the C130 that year as well. Lovely sunny day as well, you don't get too many days at airshows like that anymore.

My last time at Greenham was, I believe, 1972 when I took an awful shot of a C119 departing! Good lord, I was young then!

My first airshow was Biggin Hill in 1973. There was an Air Spain Bristol Britannia parked up...always remember that for some reason.

I remember a row of Hercules like this at Greenham. Must be back in the late 70's or early 80's, before the cruse missiles were there. The runway is now all gone to build Newbury bypass.

Also remember a lightning standing on it's tail just above the runway on the same day.
