Just came across this post over on UKAR and their are some fantastic RAF pics on the thread. I especially like the Vulcan pic on static display with a load of Bombs underneath it! I think it is XL444?

I must congratulate you Paul on the fine selection of images.
Being younger than some, and not being ex-forces, I sat agog as each new page brought yet more fabulous photos.
So sad that many of the sights that you captured are no longer available to to current and future generations of aviation enthusiast.more power to your scanner.

Hi Al
Many thanks! 🙂
Frankly, I am very happy to be able to share them.
I have been a keen aviation enthusiast for almost 50 years now (give or take a few years when work or women took over my life!).
So often, I fear, pics like mine – and there must be many, many more just as good or better out there – are just left in the loft until you finally ‘kick the bucket’ and then your descendents throw them away! 😮
Anyway, I am very happy to share them, so long as they are of interest. As you say, there are so many aircraft that are no longer around to see. I hope that my pics try to capture a little of the atmosphere at least! 😉
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul, I have seen your thread before, and they are a remarkable set of pictures showing our services and airshows history. Well done for showing, your scanner must be smoking!
Working at St Mawgan and Saints I am most interested in the pics you got there, especially as you dont often see pics at St Athan.
Dont suppose you have any picture which show St Athans tower?
Many thanks! 🙂
Re the St Athan tower, I am not sure really. But I will have a look and see if I have anything useful!
Cheers

Hi Peter
Yes, I have a few more.
In fact, I think that I have added a couple more to the thread since your last post! 🙂

Good work Paul!
Do you have any more vulcan pics?

Yep, after spending the best part of an hour browsing the entire thread, I totally agree – amazing stuff….
Well done Paul 😀

Thanks Peter! 🙂
Glad that you are enjoying them.
BTW, I can confirm that the bombs are under XL444.

Paul
