Andy

Hi Andy,
It's a canoscan lide 200 apparently, and it's seen better days!

[slogen51]

They look ok to me

Especially like the hunter XE601 - those underwing tanks are a bit different?

[LM47]

Nothing dodgy about them..thanks for sharing.
I think the Hunter had those tanks for trials involving stuff sprayed from them. I hope they only used water!

[warferry]

Thanks for taking time to do these for us. Wish my 80's scans were as good .
I have a good scanner but slides not as good.

Wish I could get that quality from my Epson V330.....

Top scans.

Used to simulate chemical attacks on ground troops, used to be seen quite a bit on the 'plain.

Hi Jon. Am trying to collect pics of all the Tornado F3s produced and the one posted (ZE759) is among the missing. Would you mind if I saved it for private use? or even better could you send me a higher res scan?
Incidentally that Hawk T1A is in an interesting shade of grey. The TWU ones were usually in the air defence Barley Grey sch but that one looks much darker. Possible trial sch.?

Thank you all for the replies

Yeah, thats not a problem, ill try and do it later. The Hawk was one of the Hawks selected to undergo "grey" trials if i remember correctly, before the lighter shade was decided on.
