RAF Leuchars airshow 2010 11-9-2010 by Gary Watson
With changing the way I do airshows next year, what better way to go out, the old way, than this one. The 2010 RAF Leuchars airshow. Now having read on other forums, that they had parking 'issues' in the past, this year was better thought out, but they did not allow for heavy rain during the early hours, right until 7.00am on the morning of the show, and accidents and 'flooding' here and there. I elected to catch the service bus from St. Andrews bus station on a every 15min basis. However, things did not work out the way I and other airshow 'punters' on the bus had hoped for.

“The number of personal emblems which were used by pilots or crews of the Luftwaffe seems to be coutless..This picture shows the nose of a Bf 110 of L/ZG 26  sometime during the summer of 1940 at the Channel. On the forward part of the nose the I. Grupper emblem “Ringelpiez” can be seen. It depicts a black British aircraft-fish being hunted from a red German aircraft-pike. Directly behind it is a very interesting personal emblem. A deer is jumping from the France coast towards the British Isle. that the emblem was designed in connection with the preparations for operation “Seelöwe” is very likely..”
