Fantastic photos of the great era of aircraft, thank you for posting them
Re: The Mick Freer Archives (Updated more photos added 20/12
Thanks for posting yet more superb images. You did well to catch Boscombe's Lightning, living fairly close to the base we used to visit on a regular basis and in all those years never caught a glimpse of it- not even on the ramp! In the early 80s I was fortunate to have an extensive base visit whilst in the fire service and XS422 was of course nowhere to be seen perhaps it was trialling a top secret stealth coating!

What a wonderful thread this is, a fantastic pool of nostalgia to dip into from time to time.
Posting comments on an aviation-related chatroom, are ya? Looks like it an' all...

A few more scans I recently done from Dad, this time a selection of 67th ARRS Herc's taken at Woodbridge, May 1979 & a lovely C-130D Skier shot at Greenham, IAT 79.
#133 69-5823 HC-130N 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. This was probably the Squadron's last Hercules to wear this colour scheme before adopting less colourful camouflage & then the bland grey scheme.

#134 65-0962 HC-130H 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. Always loved this scheme, just looked right on a C-130.

#135 65-9826 HC-130P 67th ARRS, RAF Woodbridge. Notice the bird in-corperated in the camo on the tail.

Awesome, once again.
Seriously, mate, you should get some sort of book published or something.
