Classic British Flight Sim

Hi Folks.This batch is all of one type(No prizes here!).They were taken between 1977 and 1980 mostly at Finningley and many years ago were used as part of an audiovisual presentation using twin projectors with dissolve unit and hi-fi sound.The sequence started with a commercial recording of a Concorde start up and take off(at high volume!) then fading to music.Hope you like them EricT

Ahhh the long missed sound of Mulitple Olympi!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeh Having only seen one in the air for years (or not for years in my case) it's almost impossible to believe we had that many

awesome totally awesome,
pics 3,4,5 and 11,12 and 13 were taken at waddo without any doubt, and i think possible 1 and 2 were as well....
what i would give to back in time to that era with a digital camera and lots of memory cards....

Neil I bow to your superior knowledge although I can't recall going to the airshow at Waddo though I sometimes used to drop by the spectators parking area at the side of the A15(I think) but that was some years later.Regarding digital camera/memory cards,it would certainly have saved a fortune on film!Best Wishes EricT

what is that under the wing in pic one? Sea Vixen?

....just a comment about film vs digital Eric, I remember you said you had some 18,000 slides ..
taken in digital it could easily be 36,000 , if you had them at all, hard drive crashes or disk going bad from just sitting
for years ...and then there is the data loos that happens every time you open a pic saved to jpeg format
plus. we reallly don;t know yet the problems that the future has for us on that debate, although I would agree
the cost is certainly lower capturing to digital.

its a North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco

well, of course I would be thinking something British....

WTH
