Aero 145

The ill-fated (Crashed Lydd 1978) Aero145 G-ASWS at Biggin Hill circa 1975. Think that was the year the Fairflight's Riley Dove went to Jordan. Anyone care to confirm??

Trouble with pictures not surviving time.

Just about halfway through all this wonderfull pic's, i reckon there is a common problem: Pictures dissapear!
Through the about 20 years I've been on the internet almost everything have changed several times. Mainly because the electronic development steadily gives new opportunities but also because that We as consumers/users constantly gets bored by the exsisting possibilities and aim for any new development.
This way have the photo-hosting service on the Web changed so often that most of US dont even remember the names of the past, but morely: This will continue in the future.
My reasoning about this is that since too many pictures obviously is lost due to obsolete and closed down photo-hosts or the persons own disuse of the same sevice, this site should better be used as it's own photo hosting service (for as long as it will be present on the web) and pictures should be uploaded as "hardware" directly from Yourself instead of from a hosting service wich historicly might be not-present in few years.
For those who entirely relies on having their pictures 'in the sky' it might be a trick to bring the wished shortly down on own computer again to be able to upload them here.
For the rest of the site: Links to the web tend to be obsolete during time too as many private homepages closes down for several reasons. So dont calculate a linked picture as being there for years to come!

RDAF SAAB Drakens

In 1987 came the Danish translated version of 'Where Is Wally/Waldo' on the bookstore(*) shelfs.
In 1992 jumped RDAF esk. (sq) 725 on the train ;-)
(Actual it's a parade in honour of the retirement of the Draken in favour of the F-16 and Wally/Waldo was chosen as it was the one with the outmost flight-hours)
What isn't to see: A Golden Griffon on the belly!

(*): Your very first Danish lesson: Bookstore says 'boghandel' ;-)

re #445, 8th image down, labelled VC1- EGKK in BUA colours.

If I am not mistaken this is a BAC 1-11 twinjet not a VC10 four-jet.

It looks like a VC10 to me, but I've just got back from t'pub so might be mistaken.
