EC-137D Mildenhall
Hi Guys
After MUCH frustration with photobucket and Flickr in the past I think I might have sorted things out
For a trial to see if it works here is a poor pic , but a record shot of EC-137D 11408 at Mildenhall , in I think 1975 , it later went on to become an E-3 along with 11407 . I am not sure if this was not the first visit of the type to the UK during its European tour along with the Lufthansa Boeing 727 as support
Once again sorry for the quality , it was taken from The Bird In Hand car park
Stay well everyone
Cheers
Paul

As views from pub car parks go, that's not a bad one at all. Wish my local had a view like that.

Re: EC-137D Mildenhall
Great to see you posting some of your rare images again Paul! Can just about remember the view from the car park across to the ramp before the buildings went up / vegetation grew!

I photographed 71-1408 on approach to runway 29 on 7 April 1975. The Lufthansa B727 was wearing N87790.

Hope you don't mind but by the Power of Greyskull I've managed to remove some of the colour cast

I'm sure it can be done, but it's not my speciality

Re: EC-137D Mildenhall
I do a fair bit of removing things with Photoshop but it would need a much higher resolution shot before you could even consider if it was possible
The lamp post would be fairly easy though!

For info, the Lufthansa 727 was still owned by Boeing at the time and wasn't actually delivered to Lufthansa until 2.5.75
