Regulars will perhaps remember a couple or more years back Ray Wood generously donated his slide collection of the 1960/70’s, most of which were posted on the forum over several weeks.
Ray has dug out a few more of the Lancaster NX611 taken at Lavenham and Hullavington in and around 1969.
The slides although a bit tired have responded to a little TLC from Paint Shop Pro.

Thanks, Mark. Didn’t think it could be anything else.

Good shots again, Mark. Great too see. Is that the back end of 441 in the penultimate photo?
Yes, our old friend Seafire 47 VP441.

Wonderful stuff… Thanks Mark
Do you mind if I try and print some off to give to Doug Hogarth who was involved at the time (but doesn’t have a pc)?
Roger Smith.

Great photos. I have only managed to see it at Biggin Hill in white and later at Scampton.

Great Pics.
What is the tail section in the second top last pic ??Mark
Pretty sure it’s the tail of Seafire 47 VP441 but just queried it with Mark.

Shot No2 is very redolent of the colour images caught in WW2 by Charles E Brown and others. In 1969 the war was only 24 years away.
1985 is 24 years away from us now
, and I don’t suppose I am alone in feeling that it feels like the relatively recent past.

Interesting way of looking at it, Props’
Many, many thanks Mk.12 for posting those superb pix

NX 611 Lavenham
Evocative stuff ……..re-kindles memories when it cost half-a-crown for a guided tour inside that Lanc.
Ofcourse back then I was only about 6 yrs. old.
Great times !
