    Three scanned 35mm slides from me.

    Firstly, two from Duxford, taken in April 1975, before the museum was open. I was 12 years old at the time and my dad had to apply in writing to visit and on acceptance, you were given a guided tour.

    A Liberator. I think this was an ex Indian AF example which was ferrying to the US and had engine trouble. Note the lack of prop.

    Nice, but I’m fairly sure that’s a 320, not a 321

    I checked on this when I first took the photo and have re checked an it appears the Scandinavian fleet operate the 321

    It’s a bit difficult to make much comment because the file sizes are so small. What lens were you using on the D50, and have you cropped them in at all?
    Pity the weather wasn’t a bit better: mid-afternoon in the autumn on a sunny day and the lighting angles are pretty good from the spec where you obviously were.

    Lens size was 70-300mm i havent cropped just reduced pixel size to upload but agree on the weather but with all weather what you see is what you got

    regards

    Nice, and hello.
    May I request you add them as 500 pixels wide? Saves clicking each and every one.

    thanks for the tip will try this on next images
