Early 1970's Airliners & Operators Updated 14/3/25

Post by JezM » Sun Dec 08, 2024 2:40 pm

I have recently been given a number of slides & photographs that belonged to someone who has had to go into care, I don't claim the images to be mine but they reside in my collection & I thought it would be good to share them with a wider audience, so here's another batch - I hope you enjoy looking at them.
