After a long time after this show we are happy to receive an update for Biggin Hill (1967(1).
The update concerned a show of the Thunderbirds with their Super Sabres.
They were on a tour through Europe.
Unfortunately not much can be found about this. With some research at UK Airshow Review we found out
that a total of 8 were noted. Below the numbers:
Wethersfield on 6 May 1967. This was the same day as Bentwaters
53737/2 F-100D
53507/3 F-100D
53506/4 F-100D
53754/5 F-100D
53715/6 F-100D
63927/9 F-100F
Two additional aircraft noted at Ramstein on 21 May 1967 were:
53593/1 F-100D
52933/8 F-100D
Unfortunately, nothing can be found anywhere about the aircraft that performed their show at Bigin Hill.
Except for AirHistory.Net, where Code 5 was photographed on May 13th.
Hopefully, someone can provide more information.
