I’m quite satisfied with Photofiltre. It’s a free photo-editing programme. And yes, it handles psd files; I opened one and did some fancy editing before writing this reply. Available at: http://www.photofiltre.com/

C-47B-30DK G-AMWW at Rotterdam, 1981. On most occasions piloted by Captain Cezalsky. Flew flowers and general cargo between Lydd and Rotterdam on a two flights per day schedule.

The “R” on the gear lever stands for ‘reverse’, not for ‘racing’. I thougt it was important to communicate this to you 😀 .

Thanks for the suggestion, Cking. I’ll post my question there too.

I don’t think so. Here are some pics I took back in september 1994 of the Tu-2 which I think Peter is referring to. I visited the War Eagles Museum in Santa Theresa, near El Paso. On display there was this Tu-2. According to the notes I took then, this Tu-2 last flew in 1981; her last mission was to open up a frozen river by bombing the ice (talk about drastic measures..). Afterwards she was stored in a cave from 1981 until 1992. During 1992 she was disassembled, crated and transported to Houston, and on to Santa Theresa. She is repainted since my visit: http://www.war-eagles-air-museum.com/tu-2_1.html

My picturesfrom 1994:
EADS is the parent company of Airbus. And SNCASE is one of the French aircraft manufacturers which went up into Sud Aviation, wich in its turn merged into Airbus Industrie.
More on the -complicated- history of French aircraft builders before Airbus was born:

Makes for interesting reading.
And now back to the question I started this thread for; obviously no one is familiar with the controls of the Armagnac?

How about the Antonov AN-22 Antheus (=Russian name)? You know what the NATO name is??? C O C K! And a big one it is too!! 😀

after all I believe the picture I put up was from official sources.
How’s that with the copyright?
I “rescued” a load of old official publicity shots of various -now classic- aircraft when, during the 80’s, the handling company I worked for cleared out the archives and threw it into the garbage. I took a box full of really mouthwatering photos home. On some (not all) of them, there are at the back some stamps and notes of photo agencies wich no longer exist. I tried to find out who owns the copyrights now, but I can’t find any references…
I would love to share the pictures here, but I’m not sure about the consequences.
To give you an idea of the kind of pictures: roll-out of prototype Bac 1-11, in-flight photos of Bac 1-11’s and VC-10’s (Britsh United livery), VC-10’s at Nairobi and Gatwick, a wonderful Britannia at Newcastle, loads of early Carvairs and Bristol 170’s (including the Mk.32, which are quite rare). One picture I consider really rare is a photo of a mock-up, scaled down model of the proposed Carvair-7, a Dart-engined version which was never built -as all of you know.
Any ideas or tips?

I have these pics on my computer for ages, I don’t know were I downloaded them from, so no credits. Sorry.
FOUND IT! I searched through the bookmarks I collected the past 6 years or so, and found this link:

And there are more funny/stupid/nice/unbelievable/hoax etc aviation pictures.
Enjoy.
