Here's a few from Manchester in the 1980's - sorry but can't be more specific than that and quality isn't brilliant. Hope you like them. https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Archive/Manchester-Airport/i-CNkWQTB/0/6f4f96f2/O/Aeroflot%20Tu-134.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-A...

Thought l would try to sell these here first before resorting to ebay. Hopefully there are more people who will appreciate them.

Here's a few from taken at Manchester, Gatwick and Heathrow https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Archive/Manchester-Airport/i-hzWtL7Z/1/eaf17db1/O/SkyMover_LHR1980ish_AirFlorida_N1035F.jpg https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Archive/Manchester-Airport/i-77NTqJX/1/f713cc63/O/SkyMover...

Andy,

Thanks for the info - interesting. I'm never sure what to think when l go to Bruntingthorpe. I suppose the owners have found a good way of bringing in revenue but l do find the sea of stored vehicles rather depressing. The Cold War jets collection always looks a bit lost.

I went to the Lightning photo call at Bruntingthorpe yesterday. The Lightning fast taxi runs took place at the southern end of Bruntingthorpes runway. I was pleased to find that the Super Guppy had been relocated to this spot and was no longer surrounded by the myriad cars that are in storage at the...

Caught a few fiights landing on 05R yesterday before the sun came too far round. Nothing exciting but it was a pleasant morning and better than staying in the house. https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Civil/Manchester-2018/i-wbCPbTF/0/85d157b6/X2/6D_MIA29102018_5666_DxO-X2.jpg https://phot...

Thought i'd throw this one in. The unusual VFW-614, the only one in the UK, based at Cotswold (Kemble) Airport. The VFW-614 Germany's post war attempt at a short haul commercial airliner. It failed, only 19 were built although some did see service with the German Air Force until 1999. Shot on the 29...

A few from the threshold.aero night photocall on the 29th September. Not sure if the Canberra's are classed as military or civilian now even though they have a civilian registration so i've not included them here. Full set of photos from the night can be seen here --> https://photos.skypicservices.c...

My 1st visit to Manchester's Southside for a number of years. Started on the mound then over to the other end at 05R for some take off photos. Nothing very exotic I'm afraid: the Thomas Cook 'Gay Pride' A330 was nice to see (1st time I've seen it) and l think l got a reasonably good photo of the Emi...

Another one from the 1980s - typical Manchester scene from that period. Not quite sure which 757 this one is.



Chris

Found this one too. Manchester again, but no idea what date. https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Archive/Manchester-Airport/i-VwMVMgB/0/a4e20324/O/Monarch%20737_G-DWHH.jpg Thought I'd better add a modern shot as well. Luton some years back. https://photos.smugmug.com/Aviation/Aviation-Civil...

Thought I'd add an old one - taken at Manchester. Can't remember when...



Chris

Following on from my Manchester - 2007 collection here's a set from 2008. Nothing very exotic, but hope you enjoy looking. The complete set from 2008 can be viewed here --> Manchester Airport - 2008 http://www.skypicservices.com/Images/CivilianAviation/MIA-2008/IMG_1300_DxO.jpg http://www.skypicserv...

Here's a few more.

I haven't posted here in a very,very long time. I'd like to rectify that now I have a bit more time on my hands. Thought I'd start with some oldies from Manchester 2007. Reprocessed most of them to 16:9. Concentrated (mostly) on airlines/liveries that you no longer see. Hope they are of interest. Ch...

Four Dan-Air Comets in one photo - fantastic.

Without much tweaking you could make those scans look even better - a bit of colour correction, noise reduction and a bit of selective sharpening would work wonders.

Chris

Thought I'd add a few more. Enjoy All from Manchester 80'2/70's/and a couple from the 60's http://www.skypicservices.com/Images/Aviation/scans/SkyMover_MAN198x_BritishCaledonian_G-CITB.jpg http://www.skypicservices.com/Images/Aviation/scans/SkyMover_MANNoidea_NorFly_LN-BWN.jpg http://www.skypicservi...

Scanner is an Epson F-3200. I don't think they make them anymore.

Chris

Not entirely sure - I know I was still at school so it must have been about 1975/76 ish - I remember we used the school minibus and did an East Midlands tour. Sadly many of the transparencies I have from then are beyond recovery. Thats what I get for neglecting them for 30 years.
