The September 1967 SCAN Newsletter ( www.ScottishAirNews.co.uk ) mentions the following ...

"The flying display was marred, especially towards the end by the steady drizzle which increased in intensity and prevented the Jet Provost & Hunter Aerobatic teams from giving their full flying programme. Despite the weather, however .... The Jet Provosts ....of 1FTS gave [a] very polished aerobatic display."
