Some more mouldy oldies from the vault

Post by paddyboy » Sun Nov 12, 2017 8:37 am

Hi Peeps :P

The perfect scenario: 1). SWMBO is out for a days Xmas shopping with her sister :thumbs:
2). I have ticked everything off her jobs-to-do list :whistle:
3). I have finished the important stuff that I needed to do :lol:

The end result is a bit of time for some delving :D

I have gone in at the deep end again by putting some captions to these :unsure:

Hope they are worth a peek, but let me down gently if I have made a pigs of the venues and dates :blush:

Best regards ;)

Nice memories, I am amazed how short the TR1/U2Rs nose is compared to the modern iterations/ types. Thanks for the memories.

Nice selection there Paddy - thanks as ever for taking the time to scan and post.

Loved the C-5 in the lizard camo when it first came out but that soon disappeared when trying to photograph it in dull light.

Think the nose fit on the U-2 / TR-1 here is just a standard / ferry type nose. They did have some longer ASARS-2 nose fits around in the 80's when flying missions from Alconbury

Thanks again Paddy

Smashing set

Great to see the Starlifter in the air. I bet for many of us - our earliest memories of the C-141 are as MAC callsigns going Woodley-Dover.
