[BadAim]

waaay cool! These things have to be preserved.

[Dubbo]

Brilliant pics mate. Thanks for sharing.

:shock: Wow!!! Seafires and a sunderland. A rare shot of RAF jugs. A little attention

in photoshop would help the damage....ill see what i can do. These are priceless.

Thanks for helping preserve such for future reference. God knows how many pix are

laying around or even discared accidentally.

The seafire on the lighter is interesting. and the crane lifting one...wow.

of course, i dont see a tail hook, so those could be RAF spits...look at

the camo job. I wonder what the colors are.....I dont think that's grey and

green. dunno.

and that transport....isnt that a viscount? I dont have my ref books handy.

where all did he serve? if you have any info like that, we would all be

fascinated to hear.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing.

The first one gives me an idea for the FMB.

[Beebop-RIP]

OK, I'm back.

Yes, it can be done.

and that transport....isnt that a viscount?

I think the transport is in fact a C-54. Little round windows along the fuselage match the C-54 from here...

[Friar]

thanks for the nice comments guys. there are loads more in the box. not any more planes though. the others are mainly scenery shots, although there are a few of heroshima (spell?) after the bomb.

is it ok to post them like i did or would individual pics be better?

Not a landing craft.

It's a Canadian aircraft carrier.

Budget cuts and all, you see...

Thanks mate. I tried that but the FMB started smoking, turned a sickly green and, well, you can figure out the rest.
