Classic British Flight Sim

Pics of the G-ANH* Viscount 701C are rare as well as along with some of th G-AMO* series were sold to VASP in 1962 before mass photography came about. Just out of interest, Garry, the various 700s in the collection are: BEA - G-ALWF, G-ANHF, GAMNZ, GAOFX, G-ARBW BOAC - G-AMOG BKS & CAMBRIAN - G...

wonderful photos - really capture the atmosphere... What scanner do you use to scan the slides ( assuming that is what they are) , and what do you use to clean them first please?

Garry, I don't know if these are of interest but I came across them in one of the slide boxes. The aircraft (F-BLHH, ex-G-ANWH) was photographed at Oslo in March 1969.
