Some more reprocessed slides from Pima in 1979 and MASDC in 1980. Single seater RB-57D at Pima but now preserved at the National Museum of the United States Air Force, Wright Field, Dayton, OH in a 1950's scheme: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54400417299_15d2964171_h.jpg 53-3982 RB-57D ex 4677...

A new Mac Studio running the latest editing software has given me the opportunity to revisit some old slides and reprocess, here is a visiting Vermont ANG EB-57B at Tyndall in 1981 with Phantom 'kill' marks. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54398634664_4e39ca5ad2_h.jpg 52-1511 EB-57B Vermont ANG ...

Caught the new King's Helicopter Flight AW139 positioning from Bagshot Park to RAF Odiham this afternoon in the last of the light.

My grandfather was evacuated from Dunkirk on one of the 'little ships'. John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway was one of the few providing air cover.
God Bless you Sir. Blue skies.

And a side view of the Bell 47H first flew 1955, seventy years old !
The retiring Puma was a youngster at 52 !

A quick edit of the Puma making possibly it last ever public appearance before retirement: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54370421751_eed5ba3af8_h.jpg XW224 Puma HC.2 33 Sqdn RAF by Keith Heywood , on Flickr Another great event with thanks to Phil and the team.

Dutch G650 V-117 getting ready to depart Farnborough this afternoon after some maintenance with Gulfstream:

V-711 Gulfstream G650ER KLu / RNethAF by Keith Heywood, on Flickr

Stunning improvement! Well done in getting that enhanced IQ from the at best fuzzy original. :thumb: If you're willing to say, how long did you work on that one image to retrieve it? I was playing with the software for about 20 minutes, a bit of trial & error, and have not yet looked at any of the ...

In July 1979 I photographed an ex Moroccan AF C-47A passing through Southend, not that unusual in those days so I only took one photo with my precious expensive Kodak 64 slide film. Unfortunately on processing I discovered it had suffered shutter shake and produced an image that was unusable ! https...

And a photo showing the serial on the airstairs:

A quick transit through Julius Nyerere International Airport, Dar Es Salaam provided the opportunity to take some quick record shots of the withdrawn aircraft which have not moved for many years. Apologies for the quality but most were taken through the dirty perspex window of a taxying Cessna Carav...

Phil and his support team plus the RAF volunteers deserve a huge vote of thanks for producing a very enjoyable nightshoot, my personal highlight was the C-47 engine run with the port engine running rich producing lots of blue flames from the exhaust. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54043413300_0...

I’m in that one, must speak to my agent about my image rights

Isn't this NX664 that is lending its wings to 'Just Jane' so that they will both end up with a fully restored wing?

Correct it is the former NX664, the storage shed was full of disassembled Lancaster pieces. Light was very poor so my photos don’t do it justice…

Hi Were you part of an organised tour or did you go as an individual.

Individual- details of the open weekend each September are on their website from about June.

Lovely pictures!. Doubtless people will not approve of their condition, but it would cost a huge amount of Euros to deal with them. Personally, I quite like seeing them in that situation. In shot two, it would appear that it is the tail of the laminar flow wing Hurel-Dubois thingy? Well spotted ! F...
