No, in those far away days, Hawker1966, the film was in a little reel casette thingy. One had to wind it fully on when it was all used, carefully remove it and take your 12, 24 or 36 exposure film to the chemist and the wait a day or so for the results. Polaroid came out of the bottom of the camera but had no negatives.

Am I alone in finding it terribly depressing that there are actually people who don’t remember that?! :rolleyes:

And, yes, I have hundreds upon hundreds of just the sort of images you are talking about Hawker1966. Many of them in the pre-memory stick storage system then in use; photo albums. 😀

I just about remember the wind on cameras as during the 70s i was just approaching my teens, strangely enough the camera with the self developer with photo developing are back doing there 2nd round, as i witnessed this type at my daughters 21st party, technology appears taking us back some 40 plus years that must be a first.

Ref the photos dead jealous as the Archeology side is my passion, i visit many a Museum but very few show photos of the digs with the relics, but i appreciate space is very tight, i often thought a museum could show a process of the archeology side as im sure a lot of people would be interested in the process from the start of the research through to the actual dig including machinery etc.

Have to admit i thoroughly enjoyed the Harry Harris War Digs series.it gives a good insight of the whole process.

Very Sad news as another hero leaves us RIP

Just to add throughout the Summer and Winter Months i regularly visit aviation Museums throughout the UK including the likes of Hawkinge (The Kent Battle of Britain Museum) The Wings museum. De Havilland, Brenzett, Shoreham in Kent, The Thames side Aviation Museum, Fenland,Norfolk and Suffolk aviation Museum,North Weald,Duxford, Carpetbagger,East Kirby, Scampton,Newark,The Sywell aviation Museum,Cosford. and only today a visit to the Tangmere museum.

I visit these at least once per year with more visits to the likes of Hawkinge,The Wings Duxford and lastly Hendon where i would go at least 6 times. but somehow its currently lost its appeal although there are some fantastic exhibits the one that personally appealed to me more than any other was the Battle of Britain Hall.

I know that things move on but for me to take away this hall is tragic to say the least.

Lets just hope like i have said previous there is something put in its place to represent the Battle of Britain. (but it certainly wont be the scale of the Hall)

Looks like there are a lot of grateful people out there who do appreciate the big effort in trying to revive the aerojumble circuit at the likes of the Shoreham aerojumble.

I personally came into the aviation world of collecting quite late compared to the majority of the forum members and missed the likes of Yeovilton (Fly.buy thanks for posting the video) also missing the early days of Shoreham and the likes and to think i was annoyed at the 6 cars or so that used to beat me to the parking, i would no doubt of been tearing my hair out if id of been stuck out on the A27 and being beaten to any bargains.

Just a shame its a changing world at the moment regulations, price increases etc that the likes of shoreham has sadly come to its end, so i guess we must be grateful for the likes of Newark and the effort made by the Brenzett aerojumble, Popham etc for keeping the circuit alive.

I would also like to thank Andy and co for there great efforts with the aerojumbles also some of the fantastic guest, book signings that were arranged. highlight for me was meeting the late Eric Winkle Brown.

I loved the video that Fly.buy posted would anyone have any other footage photos etc of some of there previous visits ie of the jumbles themselves or any other prize assets that were displayed or purchased.

Nice Battle of Britain Prop with good provenance photo showing the dig and prop.

unfortunately to much for me but nice anyway.

I think some of us just get a bit ‘uncomfortable’ about some of these campaigns pressurising for honours and awards.

I couldn’t agree more.. but i believe that Johny Johnson has appealed via a social media page to receive the award on behalf of the 50.000 plus comrades that were lost from bomber command..

But i can see the uncomfortable part, it just dosnt make any sense to me why lesser people are recognized for an award.
