Spooky days at Coningsby 1974-1982

Post by **FredM** » Thu Jun 15, 2017 3:38 pm

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?
Cheers from Aberdeen.

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.
