hi all A selection of pictures from what used to be my local airport in the late 90s/early 00s, when i had plenty of time for taking photos before work took over and before moving south. now with a bit of time on my hands ive decided its time to copy all my prints to digital. Unfortunatley i dont ha...

That explains things! we have quite a few over south wales

I like the idea of the 74sqn aircraft should provide some variety of types. tho the collection of phantoms sounds very appealing

cheers, i might try a battle of britain group build doing a different aircraft each.

Not sure if i'm posting this in the right place, can anybody recommend a modelling project i can carryout with my air cadets, some of them have a keen interest in modelling but i'm not sure how to go about it! Also going to have a go at modelling myself again after a break of many years. seeing some...

Am i right in remembering that take off magazine had a model gulf war tornado gr-1 collecting the parts issue by issue!

Ive got 4 a4 size flight int cutaways from an old calender that are in good condition, eurofighter typhoon=f/a-18e=piper malibu=nh90 if they are any use.

Ive just come back from there this afternoon, they have some little gems in the hangar but unfortunatley its all crammed in!

Some nice shots there, i drive past here sometimes with work but either nothings flying in/out or dont have my camera.

nowhere near the high quality on here....but heres the link anyway

Thanks for your help guys, you've given me a few ideas to go on with there, I think i may treat myself to a new scanner that has the option for slide/negative copying aswell as my hp scanner isnt exactly fantastic. Will probably buy it in the next couple of weeks then ill post some of the scans on h...

Has anybody on this forum ever used one of these.. http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/SVPFilmScan-GP1.jpg im after a cheap (price wise) slide scanner/copier that will scan 35mm slides to digital, but dont want to spend a fortune on one as im scanning only about a thousand slide...

A mate of mine has a couple of classics i'll post some pictures if i can find them.

some nice pictures there, the 2 bristol ksw's look as though they are in immaculate condition, most classics are in better condition than modern serving vehicles!

A couple from fairford 93 i think (sorry about the quaity scanned from bad prints) http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan00022.jpg http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan00032.jpg and one from this year http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_...

There is a clip of the 1959 show on Youtube. I believe the main problem with the Rotodyne was the noise generated by the tip mounted jets being incompatible with city centre life. Great photos from another age. just watched the video...that vulcan low flypast was amazing thanks for posting. amb, th...

I remember making a model of the rotodyne as kid in the 90s, i would have loved to have seen it fly. as i would have many of the machines of yesteryear...i think i was born in the wrong era!

I remember the trucktop landing, appeared at woodford a few years on the run,

sorry about the quality its a scan of a rather bad photo!

Terrible film really but the Mossies were good,one day perhaps someone will make a really decent film about the RAF involvement during the war ,Menphis Belle with Lancs maybe ? Apart fromThe Dambusters I don't recall too many films about that aspect of the conflict,it would be nice to see a book li...

Worst riat ever? i would have to say last years as there effectivley wasnt one for most of us due to cancellation. I was sat on my coach on the way back on saturday evening, and being nosey as i am was chatting to a few passengers who were giving me good feedback on the show many of which were mainl...

Sorry about the quality. riat 93 i think http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0070.jpg http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0100.jpg riat2000 cottesmore, http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0025.jpg thanks for looking.

Thought i'd spotted a 727 going into heathrow, but was driving down m4 at the time and ony managed to glance at it.

As historical records these are great - Barton was such a brilliant venue, a tight grass airfield under busy airspace playing host to a huge variety of aircraft. Would be good to see other shots from the venue if you have them... i found a stringbag and another shot of the triplane. http://i954.pho...

RR Spit certainly was the one lost at Woodford (in 1992), with the loss of pilot David Moore.

found another picture or the spitfire

Heres a few old airshow photos from barton airshow in the late80s or early90s, http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0003.jpg http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0002.jpg http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae27/stelmosfire_2009/scan0001.jpg am i right ...
