Keflavik September 1978

Post by Keflavik69 » Fri Jan 07, 2022 3:44 pm

I just scanned my first slide as a try-out. It was taken at Keflavik on 11 September 1978 during a base visit while on my way to the USA with Loftleidir. When I find time I will scan some more and post them here. I hope you like the photo of this F-4.
Regards,
Arnold

TLC for the negatives and slides has certainly paid dividends for you now Arnold :thumbs:
Excellent scan from K25/64 I assume.
Thanks very much for posting and looking forward to more.

Kef in the late 70s and very early 80s was a great place to see the wild weasels.
Many trips from Kinloss with the Kipper Fleet.
