What's happened to that great pic of the VC10 in the sandstone-and-blue BUA colours? Was it yours, evansb?

[evansb]

Yes, they were..

FI 103/17

Second attempt at posting this picture. I once had it in my possession after which it was sold to a collector in New Mexico. He was an ex air-force pilot and tells me the picture is willed to the museum there when he passes away.

Fabulous pictures, Kewbick...

That Britannia nose looks a bit close for comfort!

Could you provide an approximate date for the AA B707-320B, please?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

It was the nose on Jerbourg's F27 that caught my attention. How appropriate that an aircraft passing on weather related information should have such a Pinocchian proboscis!

My Grandfathers Prize

I have had this brass bell for over 60 years. It was my Grandfathers and he always had it in a place of honor in his office. He fought during WW1 in France.
I don't know when this item came into his possession but I know it was important to him. The figure on top looks to be wearing Cold Weather Gear as seen on many B52 pilots during High Altitude missions. Although the pack on his back does not seem to be a parachute. He has heavy mittens, head gear and boots. The bell is of an artillery shell or aerial bomb. The brass clacker is a spent brass bullet. One side of the bell has a Lion with the # 58 below. The other side has a RAF emblem with a crown.
Any information on this piece would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Very Topical

[Herod]

A bit of help please. Photobucket is becoming a pain. Someone posted as few months back a method for getting pictures on Pprune directly, but I didn't copy the instructions. Can someone who knows please repeat them? Thanks.

Have a look at Postimg.org. Same method of posting to forums as Photobucket

In the Trident photo, what is the ‘3YZ’ above the centre of the windshield?
Great photo BTW.

Herod, Click on 'Go Advanced' box below the Quick Reply. Then select 'Attachments' and you can then upload photos/files for posting.

Stunning photo of the Trident. Any idea where it was taken, EvansB? It looks like a manufacturer's or airline's publicity shot, but the landscape doesn't look like the UK. A marketing trip to China, or some other far-flung location?

[Wookey]

Thanks Evansb.

The Trident was photographed over Cyprus, here's another photo of it over the Cyprus coast

Another great Trident photo there, Wub. That final BEA colour scheme was much better than the bland BA scheme that followed it.

[wub]

Thanks. Agreed

I agree to, I always get very nostalgic when I see photos of that particular BEA livery especially as you to the bland BA scheme that followed.

Although I have no personal photos to post I have vivid memories of overlooking the apron at LHR Terminal 1 in the early 1970's with Tridents and Viscounts in that beautiful BEA scheme along with Cambrian BAC 1-11's, Viscounts, Northeast Tridents and Viscounts and B737's of Aer Lingus in their retro 60's livery.

My first ever flight (in first class to) was on a BEA Trident 3 LHR to DUS in July 1972 three weeks after the Staines crash, was I nervous about that fact I wasn't but I remember my mother being worried.
