I have a black and white picture from the 80's How do I post it?

Photos on PPRuNe have to be 'hosted' online on another site, typically Yahoo's Flickr, Google's Picasa .. or one of the many additional photo-hosting sites.

If its just a 'one off' and you don't want to go trough the rigmarole of setting-up a photo-hosting account, email the image to [email protected] and I'll mail you a link which you can use for your post.

This photo was taken sometime around the end of 82 or sometime in 83.

I would say that was possibly taken in 1983 at the Airshow at Middle Wallop. Not sure that it would have returned from FI in time for any shows in 82, but I am open to correction.

Was there an airshow at Wallop in 83? There was the Silver Jubilee airshow in 82, 3CBAS had a Gazelle from Corporate on show. It might be worth asking on HERE once registered. Chap in the cockpit doorway looks like an 8 Flt customer.

I had a giggle at the advertisement on page 1 before I logged in.

Quite apt, considering some forays (allegedly) made in '82 by a few outdoorsmen known to 8 Flt AAC.

It seems that a certain "weather observation" flight made by the FAA is deep in the psyche of the bot which chooses context-sensitive ad placements
.

G-HUEY's return to the sky was monitored by Bristow (and the CAA) but conducted by RAF techies. Bristow Appo's overhauled the Gearboxes and some other components.

That wasn't at an air show.

Almost.... Five at present, the sixth is still in Falcon colours at Oxford :ok:

Bit of thread resurrection, but just for completeness on the colour schemes, ZE410 carried this grey/grey scheme in the 80s
