Lufty 727 at Edinburgh 1983

Post by spuggs » Sun Jan 22, 2017 10:05 am

Whilst sorting through non aviation negs over Xmas I came across this that had been overlooked previously. Scanned and popped onto Flickr yesterday, I was surprised (and chuffed) when I woke up this morning to see it on Explore. Sadly EDI's opservation deck closed in the mid eighties, it would be perfectly placed for modern big lenses.

Great looking aircraft, and a really sharp shot too.

What a stunningly good shot from my old stomping ground, do you have any more that you took from the terrace in the "new" terminal?

If you have then I'd love to see them. :)

Sadly not many Mike, most of what I shot there was in black and white so that I could send it in to Scottish Air News. I'll get round to some tridents and Loganair Shortboxes eventually.
