Re: Anatoly Nikolayevich Kvochur
RIP, Anatoly. His arrival at RIAT 92, as mentioned above - I think he was climbing at this point! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53510719707_cfe0395781_z.jpg RIAT June 13 1992 Russian AF Su-27A by Paul Stroud , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53510719862_bfe59b57f3_z.jpg Russian A...

Re: Oshkosh warbirds 1998
Thank you. I was taken aback when you said 25 years, I'm sure the 90's were only about 15 years ago!

Re: La Ferte 1988
Thank you for your kind comments, everyone. I can still remember feeling the heat from Concorde's afterburners as it went around! I could be wrong but I think the Air Inter a/c is an A300, the Mercure is more like a 737 size. However there was a demo by one at LFA on another occasion, I intend to ke...

Flying Legends 23
I guess everyone was at Fairford this weekend, so I thought I'd post a few of my photos from the wet and windy Saturday at Church Fenton. The flying was excellent, the Old Warden style curved crowdline giving a lot more topside views than the Duxford shows. I hope it was successful enough to become ...

Re: Flying Legends 2023 - 15-16 July - Leeds East/Church Fenton
Just got home, starting to dry out! Agree with the above comments re the flying, I missed out on the flightline walk when it was closed early because of the lightning (not the P-38) but thought for a first attempt the organisers had worked hard. Enjoyed the commentary team and hats off to the pilots...

Has anyone received their carpark passes yet?

Seems a bit strange why they couldn't be downloaded like the ticket...

Re: Confederate AF airshow Harlingen 1986
All the Confederate pics were taken in October 86 at Harlingen Tx. Thanks for the kind comments, and also thanks to those on the hints and tips section who recommended the scanner, it's excellent.

I've been scanning prints on my new Epson 680 in an attempt to reduce the piles of photo albums in the garage!

Re: Most legacy UK aviation manufacturers have their own Museum - why not Handley Page?
Surviving HP aircraft are quite rare, I believe. I can only think of 9 types, most of which are sole survivors or at least few in number- Herald Jetstream Victor Halifax Hampden HP 115 Hermes fuselage Hastings Gugnunc. The majority are pretty large so you'd need a lot of space, although Duxford coul...

Re: Post your Flickr
Inspired by the bulk photo scanning thread, asked for an Epson FF680 for my birthday and have started to upload my aviation prints amassed over more than 40 years. It'll be added to regularly as I clear out our garage!
