if you watch the video Lewis you can see lots of people standing along the runways edge.. more than likely one of these is your photographer??maybe!

Great footage What incredible days when the Navy had a state of the art fighter kicking out 40,000lbs of thrust that was based at Yeovilton

Sorry if i upset you Lewis, it was not my intention. My meaning was just a friendly tip, that in your innocence you might get yourself in trouble.

With you also being a West Country boy, i thought you would have caught my gist.

Sorry mate, thanks for the warnning.
As i said, i bought some slides and when scanned those photos were what they were.........
I have now sent them off so hope to get some feedback on them.......

Take it easy 'my Robin'.........
