    Not sure about WJ680 being at the 1975 show, wasn’t there a picuture of her ‘belly landing’ on the 8th Oct 1975 somewhere on this thread, still in the old grey / dayglo scheme?

    It is listed as being seen at the 1975 show on the Scramble airshow list but my photo was probably from the equally grey 1977 Air Day.:o

    Some more from the 1975 Air Day. Apologies for the lack of flying shots as the light was unsuitable for Kodachrome II!:

    A couple of years ago I used to visit this forum regurlarly as my main interest is aviation history. I posted the link as I thought it would be of interest on a “Historic Aviation” forum. I now remember why it was that I stopped visiting the site, namely peurile uninformed posts by egocentric “point scorers” that add little or nothing to the debate. 😡

    Feature report and podcast on UKAR

    There is now a report on UKAR, along with a downloadable podcast interview with Dr Pleming, that explains and clarifies the latest situation of Vulcan XH558:- “Credit Crunched?”

    Exactly JDK. A museum lives or dies by the number of paying visitors. The Museum does not exist just for enthusiasts. How many families or shool parties would venture to East Fortune Just to see a Beagle or a Jetstream covered in dust? Without its star attraction and other exhibits less relevent to Scotland, it is likely to go the way of other museums (Southend for example,) which became stagnant, and visitors dwindled. Regarding the wing joints, its not as if G-BOAA is going to fly again.

    I visited East Fortune on the way home from Leuchars the other week. I thought the presentation of the “Concorde Experience” was excellent, well worth the £3 charged and very informative. The lack of clutter in the hangar means you can walk around the aircraft unhindered. So many museums try to shoehorn too much stuff into the space available, ensuring you “can’t see the wood for the trees”. The team responsible for re-assembling G-BOAA should be congratulated for the condition of the aircraft -as Eric Morecambe used to say – “you can’t see the join!”

    I hope you’ll leave it less than 20 years before you come back. 😉

    It’ll depend on the weather! 🙂

    Did you use a diffuser over the flash when you used it?

    No. BTW, Its the 580EX – used just as a fill-in ( On the A26 and F16 shots.)
