I came across some long misplaced 4.5" x 3.25" prints, taken in heavy rain and low, dense, cloud, at Dalcross, in August 1978. The photos were taken on small format 110 film, in a Kodak Instamatic 330 camera. Sorry about the quality, but they may interest some, on this forum.

Re: Inverness - 41 years ago
Those prints have lasted well. My first photos on 110 film, wouldn't be worth scanning.

Re: Inverness - 41 years ago
They're much better than my old 110 prints from that time and that's the first photo of a Caravelle at Inverness that I've ever seen.
Great stuff Phillip, do you have any more oldies from Inverness?

Re: Inverness - 41 years ago
never mind the quality of the prints Philip, it's the quality of the content that is important on photos of this age and that content is superb - well found and thanks for sharing them

Re: Inverness - 41 years ago
Thanks for the kind comments, gents, despite the print quality.
Summer of 1978, had considerably more wet days, than dry days - unfortunately it poured for the whole week that I was up North - just happened to pull into Dalcross when a couple of aircraft were in front of the old timber terminal. I got nothing, at Kinloss or Lossiemouth!
Mike - It was the first Caravelle I had seen in the flesh, but not the first to visit Inverness. I know that July and August '78 saw a number of Caravelle charter movements, by both LTU and Sterling, as follows; LTU : 6/7 - D-ADAP ; 20/7 - D-ADAV ; 3/8 - D-ADAP ; 17/8 - D-ADAV ; 31/8 D-D-ADAP. Sterling : 13/7 - OY-STI & OY-SAG ; 27/7 - OY-SAD ; 10/8 - OY-SAA & OY-STH ; 24/8 - OY-STI. I didn't get to Dalcross very often, but have a few B&W prints of HS748s, BAC111s & Boeing-Vertol 234s, which I may put up in next couple of weeks.
