Anyone take a flying picture of Geminair Britannia 9G-ACE

Can anyone help.
I used to fly on the Geminair Bristol Britannia 9G-ACE back in the 1970s.
While I have some pictures of it they are all on the ground.
Did anyone ever take a flying shot of it, even if it was just coming into land or taking off.
Any help in locating a flying shot would be greatly appreciated
Thanks.
Peter Barron.

I remember working on 9G-ACE and other Brits during my apprenticeship @ LTN.
To answer your question, Peter - sorry, no.

Not what you want, but perhaps a little consolation:

If you want to kiss me please wait until my wife has left the house. All I ask is that you be gentle.

Lu.

Thanks for the link to 9G-ACE, even though it is not a flying shot it is a nice picture that I have not seen before.

Hope your Mrs is out, KISS.
If she sees it just tell her we are just good friends !

Honest, thanks.
Peter.

Thumbs up Here is another one. Actually, 2

http://groups.msn.com/PLANESPOTTERS/...oto&PhotoID=63

Here is another. They have a print of 9G-ACE

[email protected] These guys have a print of 9G-ACE. Perchance it is shown in flight.

This could lead to a romance.

Lu.

Thanks for the new picture, again I have not seen that one before.

I have mailed the address to find out about the print.

Does this mean we are going steady now

Thumbs up Oh my God.

To: Peter Barron

Dear Peter,

I told my wife about our relationship and she has sued me for divorce and wants the house ,the car and half of my savings as well as half of my social security check.

What do we do now?

Lu.

You have to choose, its me or the wife, I cannot take this emotional turmoil anymore.


Let her have the house and car because I can offer you so much more, we can make a new start, it doesn't matter what people say, we will be together at last, we can fly off into the sunset and spend the rest of our lives together.

Mrs Lu, he's my man now, keep your hands off.

Easy, Lu:

Just say "Beer me, bitch. Then walk. Oh - and shut the door on the way outta here....."

Or perhaps not!
