Spooky days at Coningsby 1974-1982
Spooky days at Coningsby 1974-1982
I've have been photographing the residents at RAF Coningsby for well over 40 years now , and without doubt , to my mind , the best of times were the Phantom years . As well as the resident (at various times) numbers 6 , 29 , 41 , 54 and 64(R)Sqadrons, other UK based units , namely 23 , 56 , and 111 Sqns. also re-formed here with the Phantom .
This small selection were all shot on Kodachrome 25 or 64 slide film .
Thanks for looking , Fred .

You could not beat Kodachrome 25/64 for quality back in the day.As your shots show so well.
Thanks for posting, anymore please?

Re: Spoky days at Coningsby 1974-1982
Excellent stuff Fred, esp. the pics of the earlier ground attack role ones of 6 & 41 Sqns. At the risk of being pedantic you're an 'O' short in the title.
