Apologies for the relatively poor image quality.  These are scans of Kodachrome slides (some of you may remember that media) and the orignals are greatly superior.  The AVRO Vulcan was taken in August of 1978 as it performed for the Chicago Lakefront Air & Water Show.  It crashed in a landfill near the Glenview Naval Air Station (north of Chicago and now defunct) the next day, killing all aboard.  That is Pappy Boyington signing books at  EAA Oshkosh 1983.  The Staggerwing is from EAA Oshkosh 1981.  More where these came form.........Dale
