A random selection of photos taken at Duxford. The earliest taken with a 110 camera, latter ones are a little better!

Great stuff.
Is the Ruskin Air Services Dakota one of the Daks used in a TV program in the early 80’s?

“Airline” I remember watching that series, Didn’t Air Atlantique provide the Daks for filming ? I wonder if an e-mail to ITV-4 might encourage a re-run ?

go on, air your collection of 35mm slides too, I’m sure they’d be appreciated

I have started posting my slides. Have a look at the thread ‘Biggin Hill 1973’. More to follow soon.

One of the features of this forum is the excellent quality of the images. It is refreshing, however, to see some ‘old’, pre-digital photographs. Perhaps there should be a new forum for pre-digital photgraphs. There must be thousands out there that could do with dusting off and airing on this site. It would certainly give me the opportunity to scan my collection of 35mm slides.

Anyone else interested?

see the other thread on this, go on, air your collection of 35mm slides too, I’m sure they’d be appreciated
