This is the first time I post a photo on Fightercontrol. I hope I did it correctly.
This Boscombe Down Hastings I saw at Keflavik in July 1969.

On Flickr under my name Arnold Booy. The fantastic series of '5 a day' by Haveblue made me enthousiast to show some black/white photos I took during the sixties. But I think I am part of the lost generation regarding computers.

I found your photo in your Flickr account and used the BBCode to post the photo:

I’d be interested in seeing any of those F-102’s lurking in the background.

Thanks for sharing this, one I remember seeing all those years ago. Regarding the F-102s, I'm another that would like to see some shots of them and any other classic types.

Thanks eLaReF, I've just had a look. Oh Jeez! Daggers galore, and some very tasty other types as well.

:Wow:

The sound those Hastings used to make at the RAF Coltishall ‘At Home’ days back in the 60’s was awesome :thumbs:

We need some more posts, please :thumb:
