I can only imagine that Mr Murray may have soiled himself after seeing all those pics of the choppers! :D
I think a slide night at the next spotting weekend might be in order. David.M. |
Apologies, but with so many views of the photographs, my web site bandwidth has been exceeded, even though I had extended it to 10Gb per month. The images will be available again on Saturday 1st August along with the last album, General & Regional Aviation. I thought this album was going to be a bit ordinary at first, but I had forgotten how many small regional airlines there were back in the 1980s (quite a change to today). They are worth having a look at, so I will have them all scanned and ready to go for Saturday.

Have been really enjoying the photos, as with so many other people in the forum, but what about putting them up onto Flickr (as private, if you don't want them discovered or used by other parties...) and then use the photo link from here?? That way, you web bandwidth will not be so affected?!?!? Just a thought... |
Grahame, I guess its expecting a bit much for you to have photos of the great 707 lineup (just about the whole fleet from memory) around the Jet Base during the mid 1960's Qantas Pilot Strike?

Michael, My interest in photography started in 1968, but unfortunately I only started to shoot aircraft in the late 1970s.

Perhaps you need to start uploading to jetphotos.net and airliners.net

After a week of downtime for www.16Right.com with a 10Gb Bandwidth Exceeded issue, I now have the last of the photographs from the 1980s, this time Regional and General Aviation. It was interesting to see all the good old airline names again, lots of DC-3s, Nomads and Bandeirantes and even a Heron ot two.
So here we go ...
