Snow time is slide time

A few more slides scanned for the thread.At least with this sort of site you can share photos without too much bother.I mention this because my first 2 submissions to Airliners.Net were rejected so while I try and reel back from the failure and lick my wounds,(its not that badHa,Ha):rolleyes:I have gone back to the safe area of scanning slides while I plan my next meeting with the image scanners of A.net.
I dont suppose any of us who take aircraft photos likes our efforts shot to bits but in reflection I suppose they are only trying to maintain a high standard.One thing I,ve learnt at my age is not to take the hobby so seriously and now view the A.net site as some sort of photographic game to help me and should I get a couple of images accepted I,ll probably feel I,ve moved on a bit.
Having viewed a lot of the images on that site I have nothing but respect for the other photographers for there efforts and determination.If your still awake here are a few old show slides from me.:eek: last image of an F.3 was cut from a 2×2 slide as the back had a leak so felt good being able to save the best part.:)

From hardwick

Couple of shots from Hardwick of this great little aircraft and as for flying I recall Mr Bales saying during a quick chat that it was stressed to 8g and cant remember if that was neg or plus but I bet there arent many that would liked to be chucked about with that little number in mind which ever way it was.:rolleyes:

Quality shots

Just wanted to say that those photos were a lesson in photography for me.Thanks for taking the time to share them and 2 that I did like on looking at your site were the low flying mig29 and the colourful back shot of the climbing Gripen.
So many good moments were caught by you and your camera.Thanks again for sharing….Cheers.

Javelin article.

I noticed you were asking about first hand info on people who were involved in operating the aircraft.In a past copy of Eco Echo a magazine dedicated to deaf people and published in Norfolk I read about a pilot who suffered hearing problems after flying jets for a few years and he talked about the Javelin causing him the most trouble.
I tried in vain to locate the copy but it must have gone for the recycle bin, anyway I can supply a contact phone number and an e mail address if its any help and they might be able to put you in touch with the chap who wrote the story for them.01362 687617 or e mail….eco.echo@virgin.net

It could be worth a try and I,m sure the magazine was relavent for this year,good luck.cheers.:)

P40

Could this photo which was taken at Elvington have been taken of the owner prior to Peter Teichman owning the aircraft.?

Neither did I at the time but it helps us learn.Ha,Ha.:cool:;);)

silk for the thread

Just a few more from me to keep the light shining on an interesting thread ,which might give a few people some pleasure when the food and drink fest has finally belched its last gush of fragrant air.:confused::rolleyes:They are from Coventry,Waddington,Mildenhall and one from Elvington.I hope someone out there likes 1 or 2 as I have got lots more to put through the scanner.

By the way these are all scanned from 7×5 prints and I have done a little work on each of them to try and bring what i think is the best out of them.Thanks for looking.;)

Alconbury

Hope nobody minds me posting this but he was the chap that left me spell bound after his shows in the gnats both at Usworth in one of his first shows 65/66 and Acklington.I was wondering around acklington looking at the reds in my ATC uniform and some chap asked me a few questions and guess what he said if I had caught you earlier I might have been able to fix you up with a passenger flight.I nearly fell backwards and thought he was going to give me a bit of a telling off but those were the days when shows had planes and the planes gave a show and he was the”Best” showman.
