Five a day (but not every day) They say that getting your five a day is good for you. I know they didn't really mean photos, but hopefully it might brighten up someones day by posting some old photos over the coming winter months). Mainly from Lossie/Kinloss, but sometimes just a bit further afield. Rough dates are shown but don't hold me to these – I stand by to be corrected on most of them. Also, apologies in advance for some of the quality, especially for the earlier years, but the kit and film was necessarily pretty cheap and cheerful for me in those days. Anyway, here we go – Five a day Part 1 - hope you enjoy.

fantastic...you cant beat a white top Nimrod.....

Wow that's quite a start Alan! One thing often said about this section - content quality always comes before image quality. Looking forward to the continuing series. It may not make me healthier but it will make me happier.

Thanks,

Should be early RAF Jaguars for the next post. Quality will definitely improve in later years as the digital age arrived (2003 for me with a mighty 3.2 MP!).





Alan

Very nice especially the Neptune

Thanks for sharing these, nice nostalgic selection there and love the white top Nimrod's. But you can't beat a Neptune!

Hi Alan

Great first proper post from you

Keep ‘em coming and thanks for posting

Superb - reminds me of some of the Exercises at St Mawgan late 70s, early 80s with Neptunes, Argus, Orions etc...

Always enjoy looking at anything from that age. Fantastic.

Cracking Selection!

Thanks for posting.

Thank you for your comments. Lots more to come. If anyone has any special requests let me know, but might take my a couple of weeks to dig suitable stuff out.

Nice selection of pics there Alan. Ah, those good old days at Lossie/Kinloss! Takes me back!

Looking forward to more.

LLiked your identity. It has meaning for some of us!. Pic 5 was superb. Four different and significant sub-hunters in the same frame!!. Wow!.

Great post..thank you.

Given the film and kit, who cares about the quality, just great to see the variety we had back then and how its missed.
Cheers.

Another great post, the fifth shot is a cracker.

Liking the Neptune!

Wow, I really miss those days!
Thanks for sharing your super pics
