Thanks guys. In response to your comments a few more!

Quick and dirty using JAlbum to avoid using the space here.


Most still need the magic of Photoshop after scanning. The colour ones are just a taster

And DaveB

Still got my Zenith B, and a Zenith E. Also the 450mm lens, a 90-250 zoom (or something like that) and a 28mm wide angle.

With the screw thread of the SLR, it was easiest to have 2 cameras with different lenses on at airshows.

And the results weren't bad. :dance: And there was no way I could afford better - just a poor student at university.

Not been used for decades and since they have no value, except sentimental, I still have them all in a case :redface:

Hi Ian

Thanks for that

I love the atmosphere in the Vulcan shot you can here it!

Garry

Vulcan and Mossie taken at Woodford on 17 August 1974, so the black and white ones were definitely before that.

Ian

The last one is beautiful after all these years its still a throat grabber.
and the Vulcan shots aer ermmm impressive

Thank you Ian

The Vulcan shots are superb! I love the aircraft!

Yeah, great shots mate I remember seeing the Vulcan at Cosford when I was a kid,it came over so low I thought my chest would explode with the vibration!

By an odd coincidence, my folks used to store thier touring caravan on a sute next to the old airbase at Fradley near Lichfield, I understand it was once a dispersal base for the V-Bomber force. The hangars are now used by Great Bear Distribution as warehouses :roll: At least they are still there though.

Great shots, I love the oldies!

Thanks.

I'll let you know when I have added more. Even I did not realise quite how old some of these are. :roll: Or how many - about 10 x 30 negatives before starting the colour stuff.

Looking through the black/white negatives I see there is a Vanguard/VC10/ Finnair Caravelle 10 in there, as well as Viscounts G-BDIK and N501TL. Also Bassett ZP-PJY, XK896 painted in HMS Heron colours and lots of GA.

Getting quite excited at scanning these - haven't looked at them for at least 20 years (never got the negatives printed - too expensive). And now I've got a Nikon4 slide scanner... :dance:
