Great shots Martin. WW was a "local" field for me as a very young spotter growing up in Reading. It holds really pleasant memories, especially of lots of RAF Chipmunks if I recall.

Used to work at the end of the runway in an old building used as a network center, many moons ago.. carters steam fair used to winter out side the office window in a compound.. the airshow was great from the roof..  |

Was in a local ATC squadron and flew a number air experience flights in the Chipmunks from White Waltham.
Didn't spot in those days so no idea of the registrations.... Hey Ho

In case it helps you identify any, 6AEF at White Waltham operated the following Chipmunks (on the days I flew in them).
WD380 4 Feb 1970 WP565 2 Oct 1969 WP860 12 Oct 1970 WB560 4 Nov 1970 and 2 June 1971 WP778 25 Nov 1970 WB581 2 Dec 1970 WK562 17 Mar 1971 and 16 June 1971
Also noteworthy during that period was (reportedly) Douglas Bader's aircraft G-APUB - a personalised reg even in those days?

WOW impressive Rugbyref
At the same time frustrating as I have not got a clue as to which ones I flew on
Memory is shot these days
