Dear oh dear oh dear. Andy's been at the 'Moose' again .....
Here's a few more. Sorry about the 'soft focus' on some, they're glass-mounted, and the scanner is focusing on the fresnel glass!

Glad you like them guys. BTW, that low-flying formation are DH Moths, the type before the Tiger Moth. The sunset pic is one of them too.
 
Thanks Aaron. Just realised I didn't identify them!
From the top:-
Pair of DH Moths.
Nord Noralpha (French-built, tricycle undercart version of the Me108_
DH Dragon.
Percival Proctor.
DH Moth.

I'll post some more soon.
 
Thanks Erich. This scanner is reasonable, for the price, with better results when the trannies aren't glass mounted !
I'm searching boxes of stuff for some missing slides, about 300 of them which were saved from the fire, which include some cracking shots of the Vulcan with the bomb doors open, directly overhead, and a BAC Lighting F6, inverted at about 100 feet over a short, grass strip!
 
Here's a few more to be going on with.
The first three are the sad tale of a Stampe SV4. This aircraft had only made it's first flight after an extensive re-build the day before these pics were taken. Unfortunately, I missed photographing the actual landing, in the late evening at the PFA Rally in the early 1980s.
It appeared to be calm and still, until just before touch down, when a sudden slight gust lifted a wing! I'm in the white shirt and tan boots, helping to carry the remains off the runway.
PIC 4. A Chipmunk almost doing the same thing, in the same place!
PIC 5. Tiger Moth sunset, Cranfield, circa 1983.
PIC 6. Auster at Cranfield, same time.
Again, apologies for some soft focus, due to the glass mounts.

I've really enjoyed looking at these,you certainly take some very nice photographs. Thanks for letting us see them.

Thanks chaps, I'm surprised you like them. These are all the 'rejects' I put to one side, rather than throw out. Problem is, I'm fecked if I know where the good ones have gone to !! But I'll keep searching for the elusive boxes !
Meanwhile, I'll post some more 'iffy' pics soon.
