1965 RAF Leuchars Airshow

[P-3K]

1965 Leuchars Airshow here. All of these of course taken pre SLR by my father with his trusty Halina 35mm paralax, which I must say is still going strong.

Highlight for me is the shot with the two Belgian F-84s.

I know the Argosy shot is less than perfect, but I've included it because it's in the air and so should hopefully be of interest.

I'm still trying to find myself in your shots,I was there too.

Great stuff,I didn't get a camera until just before the '66 show and my shots from then are truly terrible (mind you,even my 2010 shots are crap !).

Thanks very much for posting them,photos from early Leuchars shows are very rare.

A log of the day (of everything visible to the public),thanks to my eldest Brother and the Turnhouse Brigade for their additional help.

It's from the Scramble web-site,it was myself that compiled it for them.

Thanks Mike, that's good to see a log. My only wish is that Dad had taken more photos when he had the chance. I guess it would have been hard to appreciate then what interest we'd be showing now.

Actually, no, My only wish would be to go back in time in a go-back-in-time-type thingimey-bob with a digital slr.
