Hi,

Not sure about the Krankshaft gig but the Starfighters gig sounds like it
was the Big Black Rhino Bash ( a save the rhino benefit) which was at the
Town & Country Club, Kentish Town (now the Forum)  This was 30th May '88 not
'87 though.  This was quite a gig.  The line featured the Ozrics, Bob
Calvert, Nik Turner, Man, Here & Now, some sort of Pink Fairiesvariant or
spin-off (Larry Wallis & the Love Pirates of Doom, I remember correctly), Dr
& the Medics and, of course, Hawkwind.  Bob didn't guest with the Hawks as
his spot was mid-afternoon and he had another gig that evening, neither did
Turner.  However Lemmy joined the band for the encore, pumping out Master of
the Universe in classic fashion.  Bob's version of Sonic Attack easily
outshone the Hawks version (which had mutated into Rhino Attack!!).  A top
atmosphere and dazzling lasers made this one of my favourite Hawk gigs.

Nick
