Interesting shots Ollie – I was not expecting to see these when I saw the thread title – any idea whose copyright they are?

Yes, Jersey Evening Post, though you can order copies via the web site.

Id guess at being copyright to the newspaper.

Here are a couple of pictures of G AGSH taken June 16th 1974 at Weston On The Green. She was conducting Parachute Operations that day.

Here are the last five for this thread.

I visited the Bournemouth museum lastb Sunday and G-AGSH is looking gorgeous. She seems to be in fantastic condition.

Thanks Glyn. Interesting to note that G-AGSH is still airworthy in BEA livery at Bournemouth

There you are Glyn, it’s back from the dead (page 7 !)

Too good a post to die so young

Really appreciate your posts, you have a superb collection of pics

Glyn if you are interested in Channel Island airlines and aircraft, have a look Here

There are many shot taken of the various airliners using Jersey airport, if you are prepared to trawl it’s even possible to find shots of the Battle of Britain Buchons at Jersey airport in 1967/8, especially the one that lost part of it’s tail as a result of a collision with another aircraft, and Turkish Spitfires as they transited through the airport in 1948 and plenty of other interesting shots.
