Riat Fairford departures Monday 27-07-1998:

This Tupolev Tu-22M-3 Backfire from the Ukrainian Air Force (#57r) eventually did not depart at all, after a deafening noise for the spotters sitting at the Grandstand:

Forget the noise, that wasn't half as bad as the smell!
I flew home that evening and when I got home and opened my backpack in my bedroom, I could swear that a wiff of kerosene fume came out of it.
Many people sat on the grandstand with handkerchiefs covering their noses.

But what a sight it was, that Backfire!

I was probably not as close as you were, but what irritated me the most was that :bad-words: sticker :grumble: on the intake. I'm glad they stopped doing that at RIAT's.

At least it was a small one. Remember that :evilbat: sticker on the Czech MiG.23ML in 1991? But it shouldn't have been there!
