They really are excellent sets that you have been posting.
I can remember most of those but didn't have a camera ( & wouldn't have got near that quality either)
Looking forward to the next set.

Thank you guys :thumbs:

They are all slide scans which I think scan better than prints...... was using a Pracktica LTL with a fixed 200mm lens back then

The CL-44 is on the freight stands being loaded/unloaded

Thanks for youc comments will see what else I can find

Cheers

I love DC-8s, and Tu-134s, and 1-11s, and, well you get the picture. Another great set, thanks for posting them!

Great to see "Big Orange" in all her glory.

Look at those BIA Heralds as well :P

Excellent post!
