Re: Specialist Photo Competition 2 - RAF Fast Jets

I'll throw in one just to boost the numbers. RAF Tornado at Greenham Common 1977 (or 78? - it was the year of the Tiger Meet)

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?

Re: Northolt Photocall 2008

Great collection of photos. Never anything like that when I was based there. I do remember a small wire fenced enclosure for 'spotters' which was accessed from West End Road near the end of the runway. 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.

Best looking aircraft ever. Worked on the FGA9s and T7s of 45 (and then 58) squadron when I was at Wittering.

These bring back memories! Wildcat markings so 1974 onwards, previously had the 'grasshopper' emblem on the nose. Worked on these 1973-5.

Re: Five a day - Part 28

One I won't forget in a hurry. Had one of these arrive at Northolt and the usual practice with a large helicopter was to land them and then taxi to the required slot. This HEER craft came in, I 'landed' him and indicated to move towards me upon which he promptly lifted off - after a few attempts a c...
