Not sure where this will go but I seemed to be uploading to the wrong 'sub-forum'. I've rescanned a few of my 1958 Brownie 127 negatives and I hope to find a few linkable shots on ABPIC and other sites. First one 6601 Portuguese C-54 with holiday traffic scurrying back up the A30  Attachments:

Thank you!! The old chestnut paling fence brings back memories of long ago when from t'other side the wonders of Blackbushe captured a young man's heart...

Love that, high security fencing in evidence and typical Farnborough week weather! From the other side on a dryer day...  |

Technical note...these aren't using a 3rd party hosting site like Photobucket...they're attached to the ProBoards post directly then 'inserted' using the Proboards URL file-code from the thumbnail

Israeli Air Force C-47,though photographed in Farnborough week 1958, I think this was 'resident'for quite a while  Attachments:

My spotting logbook reveals I also visited Blackbushe in Farnborough week,1959 but with no camera! I logged 2 French Navy Harpoons but have no visual memory of them (a shame)...the Globemaster which I do remember is in the background  And is this colour view 0f 11.S.1 at Blackbushe, too?  |

B170 Thank you Peter, at least I appreciated all the Bristol Freighters on the header photo the other day. A little
bit of information on the photo's, the photo of the Stubby Nosed freighter, GAICF started life with Air Work at
Blackbushe, then with BEA at Heathrow, then with Silver City, then with Lancashire Aircraft Company at Blackpool and
crashed at Winter Hill.
The pilot in the other photo, was Len Madeleine, chief pilot at Silver City.
