Newforest. Yes there was a trip, and no there wasn’t a trip report, and no you seem to have missed nothing ??? 😉
Keith. :confused:
Oh dear sorry about this 🙁 I will be re doing the photos asap ….
Keith.
Ha Ha ! Newforest ! Nice one !! Roger was about to give us all the oportunity to buy some of his ‘high quality’ tee shirts …. I purchased some, and very nice too 😉
Keith.
OK second stop on the return was at Aquadidla-Borinquen Airport. This was a little stricter !! The folks in control just didn’t welcome 50 aviation enthusiasts armed with cameras !! we were very limited where we could go and defineatly in what we could photograph !! But hey we all got a few …..
some to share with you 🙂
Keith.









And our most friendly crew …. reluctantly posing for us ….. thanks to all !

This fellow was missing from the above photo …. said he was paying for fuel ? or someother excuse !! Many Many Thanks to Roger Jarman …. one of the major drives behind a flying DC-7B !!!!

Newforest. I think the chippies all used the tarmac runway ? just the grass wasn’t as short as usual ??
Moggy. Yes I have been hearing rumours of minor problems at OB …. lets hope for the best outcome ?? 🙂
Keith.
The only photos I have of the remains at Flixton ….. is that (half of) a pressure bulkhead ??
Keith. 🙂


Welcome back Rob, you may have been away some time ! but have lost none of your obvious talent with a camera 😉
Keith. :):)
Thanks ThreeSpool ! don’t get jealous, get saving ! …. a couple more just for you !
Again somewhere above the Caribbean between Puerto Rico and Opa Locka !

At Opa Locka ….. just shut down after a six hour flight ….. still creaking and clicking and dripping and my last photo from inside ….. 🙂

Showing off now ! N836D Eastern Air Lines (HFF) DC-7B, flying over the Caribbean, taken by me 16.05.11 …… note fuselage reflected in spinner !
Keith.

Once again I am overwhelmed at the responce to ” a few old photos” …. This helps with my point that there must be thousands of similar collections hidden out there !!! I rather think that some owners of those similar collections would look at them and think ‘nobody is going to want to see these’ ….. Well I hope this will help persuade them that our history is always worth recording somewhere !!!!!
Oh and welcome to the forum Ron Cake first post of many we hope !
Thanks all …..
Keith.
I always thought this was a good looking aircraft, always looks very practical in whatever role it plays ??
Keith.

Thank you for those comments …… whilst waiting I contemplated the eating habits of wild rabbits ?? then my thoughts went into ” why do bird droppings, on a wall, last so much longer than some paints ?? …..
Oh !! and then they opened the hangar doors again and awoke me 😀 😀
Keith.
