USS Randolph Portsmouth August 1966
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
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
First up is USS Randolph in Porstmouth on 07 -08-1966 , just a week after a certain sporting event at Wembley
Hope my postings will be of interest
Paul

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!
