dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Taken by me in the 70s on an old C126 Cartridge Film camera. Apologies for the quality but they appear exactly as I scanned them in. Some of the pics were taken from my parents back garden and were in fact a lot closer than they appear in the photos. For some reason these old cameras made stuff look further away than it actually was! Such was the abilities of 1970s camera technology! Comments welcome. Link to post Share on other sites

dodgy-alan 1,587 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Great set of shots, so I guess you grew up with aircraft exhaust in your blood. I miss Pan Am Indeed I did, I lived on the end of Heathrow for a large part of my life, My Dad worked on the Airport, later my Mums , Sister, Brother and I did. Most of the kids I grew up with all worked there as well. Heathrow was/is the biggest employer in the area. So aircraft have been in my blood ever since. Nice pics Alan. How beautiful do the B707's and the VC-10 look. +1 and the B727, Il 62. Thanks Al. Il-62? not one of those there, Must be an illusion! VC-10s certainly, DAMMIT! I should have gone to Spec Savers.
