Thanks very much Pete
I was just three months old then
At least now they are getting scanned they can be preserved and even restored.
I love the used look on the Valiant.
Beautiful

Great shots Pete, they make me almost feel homesick! I love that Lincoln, what a shame we do not have a good one in MSFS!it is also odd to think that these shots (from the museum library?) were taken 9 months before my arrival in the world

Just what I like to see, Classic British Aircraft of an era gone by. Even though there is a Sabre in that lot!!
Brilliant shots Peter, thanks for showing.

Me too. Anyone know what it was used for in that colour scheme and with faired-over gun turrets?

Thats not the Napier Lincoln is it?
BTW the Meatbox is a thing of beauty looks like they had a bunch of erks out polishing it
And I think the Dog is from Bentwaters - probably 81st FW
