Another Mixed Bag of Slides

[Tomliner]

The first 10 were taken at a PFA Rally at Hucknall in 1980.The first 5 of these show the Sopwith Tabloid Replica about to have its maiden flight.It was built by the late Don Cashmore seen here briefing the test pilot just before take off.Don was a qualified pilot but had given up flying by this time.










This next batch was taken at Schipol in 1985

Superb Eric!!! Favourite is the first DC8 shot... followed very closely by the 146

The Hucknall shots are excellent, really capture the moment

You mean the 707 Ben?

Great shots BTW. Tks for sharing.

Hi Ben.I think you'll find that Eddy is right and that it's a 707!Must admit that I had to look closely myself.I thought you might like the 146,unfortunately I can't remember who it belonged to. EricT
