Strewth - what a set.
Have only looked at a selection as I was becoming overcome with nostalgia.
Will have to visit this post again for more installments of rapture.

Dead jealous though!

Mick Freer was a damn fine photographer. I've just been through all the photos again, truly superb and please keep them coming.

I haven't responded to this thread yet, so its time to put it on record. This has been a real treat to keep revisiting these posts to see on record some rare and unique aircraft - and such superb quality. Thanks for taking the time to post.

I have a picture of the RAE BAC 111 in the background of a photograph I took at Finningly many years ago. One of those moments when for the life of me I can't think why a didn't take a picture of the aircraft itself. I also have recollections of my granddad telling me about the time he saw the EC121T at Air Fete '78, a real highlight for him, only later to find out that his photograph didn't come out for some reason. He was gutted, so would have loved to have seen that pic.

Been too long since I updated this thread, to make amend here are a few more I've recently scanned. The ETPS Lightning T5 landing at Boscombe was in fact taken by myself but included here because I was stood next too him.

Just went through this thread again and it's ridiculous just how poor things have got for the military aviation enthusiast

Keep them coming

A few more scans I recently done from Dad, this time a selection of 67th ARRS Herc's taken at Woodbridge, May 1979 & a lovely C-130D Skier shot at Greenham, IAT 79.

#133 69-5823 HC-130N 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. This was probably the Squadron's last Hercules to wear this colour scheme before adopting less colourful camouflage & then the bland grey scheme.

#134 65-0962 HC-130H 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. Always loved this scheme, just looked right on a C-130.

#135 65-9826 HC-130P 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. Notice the bird in-corperated in the camo on the tail.
