Hi Anthony
Thanks for sharing the photos which remind me of a glorious era.
Re dust on slides ; I have more than 12,000 slides of civil and military aircraft dating back to the late 60s and I just use a small "puffer" brush or cloth that you clean glasses with to remove the dust. Works well for me and all my slides are filed away in (not quite airtight) boxes so dust is not a major issue.
I remember the BOAC ads "With a minimum of fuss" and still have newspaper clippings from the Melbourne "Herald", "Sun" and "Age" newspapers showing these ads as well as the first Concorde visiting Melbourne with Captain Brian Trubshaw.
Like you I have no interest in uploading any of my photos to internet sites as they probably wouldn't be accepted anyway unless they were "photoshopped" out of existence which in my opinion takes away the essence of the original image which captured a moment in time.
I'm happy to show my slides to other enthusiasts at slide nights where we can drool over each others slides and enjoy a few reds and curries.
