That's standard red wings just a little too yellow in the old pic

Yep an SAS Caravelle

I'll take a Dan Air moggie -- or at the very least the Viva HA traffic van we had at LTN ;)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We used to have a DanDare Moggie at Brooklands. Not sure if it's gone or been repainted in BCal :think:

Just watching Man in a Suitcase (DVD Collection) and one of the sequences at the begining has a RS Vanguard landing (Small logo) which moves to a sequence showing someone McGill is about to end up protecting leaving a-n-other RS Vanguard.. a different one (Large logo). I'd like to think it's PEP but can't quite make out the reg, despite using the zoom feature. Could be ER.. one or t'other anyway :think:

I'll see if I have any shots of that DanDare Moggie Leif (the curator is a Moggie nutcase so they're all over the place) ;-)

EDIT..
Heres the Bcal Moggie ;-)

Found a Bedford van (BOAC) and a BEA (FJ) Viva van too. Still digging for Dan!

Yup.. nice and clean there :thumbsup:

I really don't know what slides go for so wouldn't know what to bid tbh. I also see a problem whereby some of these slides are being sold off yet there are other sites charging money to get a copy.. that original shot of EP at Larnaca being a good example. Found a site the other day while looking for something and came across exactly the same shot (which was embedded so couldn't be screengrabbed) and the site was asking money for it. If I were to buy an original slide.. I'd want to shut these other boys down, unless of course I got royalty for owning the original.

Had my eyes opened quite a bit! :think:

Tks for the link anyway ;-)
