Back to the '80's... an experiment! Updated with snowy Phantom...

Experiments!!!
Well, I've now got a slide scanner and it's 'Back to the '80's. First attempt at posting images. Hope that they appear.

Two experiments so far... and so many boxes of slides to visit. Don't expect numbers and places... Just like the '60's I was there and cannot remember but it was great fun! :P
I do remember that the phantom shot was on my wife's birthday (lucky lady!) and we were in (separate) sleeing bags in the car to keep warm at a snowy Coningsby! 1986? Still married!!!

If you like them... jolly good. If not... please keep it to yourself. :)

... and one more for now... maybe a sea harrier later. I'm muddling along without some of the slide holder fittings and they are not as sharp as I'd hoped.

Thanks for sharing these, it's not the quality that matters, but the subject matter and these are great.

Nice ones FF,

Scanning - No doubt you'll enjoy the triggering of fond memories from years gone by and, if like me, there'll also be plenty of whoooaaa!! I don't remember that!!! :D

Thanks for sharing

Unusual for a grey Phantom to have the 3 digits of the serial on the rwr.
