Re: Wanted. Your old unwanted B&W Negs.

If you are planning to scan them in I could just email you the images which you could save directly to your computer. save you a bit of time and effort - and be quicker as I know where they are on my computer as opposed to going through a box of a mountain of negs! But you're welcome to the negs.

Re: Wanted. Your old unwanted B&W Negs.

I've got a few dating back to the 1970s which I've already scanned into my computer. I'll see if I can dig them out for you. Would you want aircraft related ones - airfield fire tenders?

I had to get permission to carry a camera at work and the get the permission of the crew to photog...

Re: Five a day - Part 69

Used to get these at Northolt occassionally, but only managed to grab a photo of one. The spiral on the spinners was a hazard - had a chap marshalling one suddenly start to walk straight towards the prop, sort of hypnotised.

Re: Five a day - Part 58

Brings back memories! I did my trade training on Pembrokes at St Athan - and was then posted to Wittering to work on Harriers and Hunters :D . Didin't see a Pembroke again until I was at Northolt when we used to get the 60 squadron ones visiting.
