USS Randolph Portsmouth August 1966

Post by PaulN » Wed Feb 20, 2019 10:47 am

Hi Guys

Been away for a little while but decided to try and get back into posting after seeing so many wonderful memories posted of late :thumbs:

Looking to post things from my 50 plus years of getting around and about it is amazing to think of what I have seen , even though I have never driven a car in my life , I have be very lucky to have had great friends :clap:

First up is USS Randolph in Porstmouth on 07 -08-1966 , just a week after a certain sporting event at Wembley :thumb:

Hope my postings will be of interest

Paul

Absolutely love seeing stuff from years gone by, and super quality shots for the age. Looking forward to seeing more.

Lovely photos and apart from the fact we know how old these aircraft are these could have been taken yesterday.

Excellent shots, all the more so given the age of the film. Really nice to see some 'Stoofs' and the Tracer; and the SH-3s look great in that dark-grey scheme. Thanks for posting - more please! :thumb:
