I agree with JDK, slide sleeves work beautifully and you can store them in a notebook…I have chucked many a slide that I knew I’d never use to save space, leaving only the good ones in the notebooks. I file my slides by ‘airshow year’, as I can always recall when and where I saw a Fairey Swordfish (Legends 2000) and just go to that notebook and get it…not saying that ALL of my photographic collection is that well organized, tho….still can’t find my Collings B-24 air to airs from 3 years ago!!

….and is your memory that good that you can remember where you saw everything else?? Filing by ‘airshow year’ is very nice for having a varied slide show, but when you started shooting slides in 1966, my memory needs more than just help with everything apart from my Fairey Swordfish sightings!

Nahh, have you lot never watched “Thunderbirds” on TV? Where they hold the model still while they film the runway moving underneath it, like a Tesco’s conveyer belt?? 😉 That’s one of THOSE shots!! :diablo:

Looks like they have been very busy repainting the aircraft they have now got inside the new hangar at last. I was there last year and they didn’t look THIS good! Well done Newark!

I think the HS-125s are going to be repainted in the same livery. Has anyone seen one yet?

Steve,

I used to have a numbering system and card index cross-reference until I discovered girls (MANY moons ago! :rolleyes: ) which caused chaos trying to keep up with the filing, so ever since the late ’70s I have used clear sheets holding 24 slides per sheet and have four X 4-drawer filing cabinets which hold my enormous slide collection. The sheets are filed alphabetically by manufacture, then sub-divided by type, then again by country and by serial number. Here is the collection with the second sheet of RAF Argosies pulled out. The beauty of this is you don’t have to keep updating an index system and can find anything instantly! Like you, I will keep taking K64 slides as long as they keep making films. I’m not convinced a load of pixels is a substitute, as the storage of digital images has not stood the test of time yet! 😮

Yes, it was a fabulous show. I have to say though, it is a bit of a shock to find a picture of yourself in the background of someone else’s photos, if only as a reminder of what you used to look like!

Where, where?? :confused: Let me guess – taking a photo of the Canberra T.17? :rolleyes:

Hi,
Fantastic shots or what!!!!! Am I able to copy these to my computer please? If so how? I am still a bit of a novice on these new fangled gadgets!!
Gary

No problem with mine – just put your cursor over the photo and press the right button on the mouse which will bring up a ‘save as’ option, then save it as a JPEG preferably. Enjoy!
