    Thank you Septic, I guess you used photoshop to clean up the blue haze. Common problem with old 35mm colour slides. I use FastStone Image viewer (Free) to tidy up the scratches and spots and restore faded colour but it does not fix that annoying blue haze.
    You did it for me. Certainly an improvement!
    The pic I entitled “Pensive Director” on the left is John Jordan Air Unit Camera who earlier had lost a leg while filming from a helicoptor for one on the Bond films. (Skeets Kelly was the other Air Cameraman).
    2nd left is Simpsons Air Services engineer and next Robin who ran the air video recording equipment so the directors could see the rushes in black and white without waiting for John and Skeet’s reels to be processed.
    (Not yet colour video recording in 1968)

    Pensive Director from left John Jordan B25 air camaraman then Simpson’s Air Services engineer then Robin B25 air video recording expert so producers could see the rushes in black & white video without waiting for processing of film reels. Bit sketchy on names. Anyone help?

    Propstrike you asked, Any more you can share ? Yes Working on it.
    Not sure if some pics already posted via this link is working for forum members? https://postimg.org/gallery/1r1ahcb7g/
    As R6195 says some pics were kindly published by his guys at Spitfire Magazine a while back. My thanks to David L who pointed me in that direction and again directed me to this forum.
    Meanwhile here’s a B25 airbourne shot near Seville, just pilot Duane Egli and myself on test flight to check B25 intercom.
