As mentioned in the Nostalgic photography I was fortunate to have a visit with the Air Cadets on the 6th September 1968 which also included a flight in the Valetta.

I had a visit to Boscombe Down with the air cadets on the 6th of September 1968 and we had a 1hour 30 minute flight in Valetta WJ491 which I assume would have been the one on the dump. Always remembered as we were just starting the takeoff run seeing the Beverley XB261 taxying out to take off after ...

While staying in Cleethorpes in August I went to the services memorial which overlooks the seafront. It is an impressive memorial which pays tribute to not only the armed forces but also the many civilian personnel who worked along side the armed services. I took these few photographs but as you wil...

Present at Duxford in 1989 were aircraft that were being flown for the remake of the Memphis Belle movie. Unfortunately on the day I came they did not fly, so I was only able to take photographs of them on the ground. I have marked them with their correct serials where known and their civil registra...

As I mentioned on my post yesterday for TLP2008-3, I have these photographs from TLP2008-5. I have tried to select a few different aircraft.
