- As usual this listing
couldn't have been put together without the help of many others and I
thank them all for being so diligent and passing the information on.
Lowestoft Air Festival is always a challenge as unlike most airshows
the participating aircraft don't land and taxi past to be identified.
90% of what is above has been confirmed by photographic evidence of
the Participants.
