Hi all,
In keeping with similar threads running elsewhere on the forum, it's high time we have a thread for random images of interesting old aircraft.
To get the ball rolling, a rare photo from recent times (well, 1996) of all three V-bombers in an outside, airfield, setting.

Snapped in Stavanger today- Antonov 74-TK 100 UR-CKC. Usually used for oilfield cargo up to the north of Norway!

Not the best quality I'm afraid but they were taken a long while ago; more to follow from that era. _________________ David

Hi
What was the purpose of the "Bomb Aimers Window"?
Did a crew member use it to sight on the drop zone and then activate the GO light? _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

Certainly not the best photo of an aircraft. This is a De Havilland Dragon. Either a DH 86 or DH 89.
The lady in the centre is my maternal great grandmother,
with two of her 10 daughters and grandson Ken, now aged 89.
The photo was taken on St Aubins beach, Jersey C.I. C: 1935.
The beach was used from 1933 until a grass strip was constructed in 1937.
Here is the fleet of 8 aircraft in 1936.
I don't know what aircraft this is, again it is on the St Aubins beach. There is a date on the back of the photo (1932).
The gentleman on the right is my late father.

What lovely shots, we have been to Jersey a few times and to St Aubins, we are taking the kids there next month as it happens. I can just imagine scenes like this. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
