Very nice, and lots of interest here I'm sure! Many thanks for sharing - did you get the air-to-air from the back seat of an FT-5? :thumb: :S
Yes, I took the air-to-air pictures from an FT-5.

Cheers, Peter

Incredible set and amazing post processing, could have been taken yesterday, and sure I have seen these in a World Air Power Journal long ago.

Wow.Not what I expected to see on a wet Sunday morning in the UK! Absolutely brilliant Peter. I've just checked your Flickr page and web site. How did you manage to get such great access?
Thanks. Well, I asked to get access... Would be nice if it is this easy. It was a lot of work to get there and sometimes a bit of luck.

Thanks. Yes, many of my pictures had been published in World Air Power Journal and other publications at the time. These FT-5 pictures were my first effort in getting some decent scans from Kodachrome slides and I myself was surprised what can be done with modern processing software. Since then, I discovered some new tricks and finetuned the workflow further to create scans which I think are now very close to an image taken with a DSLR.
