Blackbushe - the Past in Pictures
 

Hi

Should you have an interest in Blackbushe Airport, or RAF Hartford Bridge as it was originally known, I have been feeding photos onto my Blackbushe Pictures From the Past thread for the past year, or so. Some of you might care to take a look, WW2, LHR fog diversions, BEA and BOAC crew training, US Navy base, birth of the independents, FIDO, a lot has happened at this once historic, and still potentially useful airport..Take a look! Blackbushe Airfield | Farnborough-aviation-group.co.uk

Maybe some of you have photos that could be added to enhance the project??

Really enjoyed those Peter, thank you!

Peter - I'd come across that site and was slowly working my way through the pages, a couple every week or so, when I had some spare time. It had been great looking through all the wonderful photos.

I'd got up to Page 18, but trying again, it now says you have to be a member, but it's closed for registration. Is there any way round this?

Unable to register since the web site is unavailable (closed), but here is a photo of a couple of vintage Miles aircraft.

Laurence Hole. Please re-post your pictures in the PPRuNe size of 850x850. They are too big to fit the pages.


Thanks.

...and not a hi-viz vest in sight!

Anybody got a picture of the Comet that was dumped there

I'm sure there is one on the Blackbushe thread on the Farnborough Aviation group forum.

Several but as you will know Bren, it's up to 107 pages now! I was in the tower with the FISO when the Comet landed and got several pictures but they're on 110 format (negatives about 20mm x 15mm) and buried somewhere in my loft.

Vintage fly-in around August 1965, the mini air race would have also possibly been at this time.

Missing my fix !!!
 

Peter,
Now the ProBoards forum has been sadly killed in its prime, please tell me you have the Blackbushe thread safely backed up and are planning to resurrect it in a safer enviroment that doesn't have an egomaniac in charge.
I am already getting withdrawal symptoms and it has been less than 24 hours!
If you need anything such as help copying threads to a new forum or a cash donation please let me know.
Ben.

Could have been put on here, couldn't it? Oops, Edit :-)
