Farnborough1957

Thanks Mike and I’m glad that they’ve given some pleasure to others.

On the Saturday Mike. This was my second Farnborough but I could only afford to take two photos in 1956! Incidentally the reason these photos are so bad is because I had borrowed my Aunt’s old box camera and in the sunshine I couldn’t see anything in the prismatic viewfinder, so I just had to point the camera vaguely in the right direction and hope for the best!

Jim………..

Thanks. I was there on the Saturday too. Think you and your Aunt’s box camera did a pretty good job.

Thanks for posting – they do bring back memories!

Lovely shots Jim, from a time well before I was born, but wish I had witnessed, thanks for sharing.
