Cees,
Well it was a long time ago but the it all looked pretty good to me by todays standards.
I do not currently have instant access to a scanner But I am updating the whole of me PC system very shortly and going for a 'Whizz bang' scanner that can cope with old format and odd size negatives.
Somewhere I will have the negatives if you would prefer prints. They are square format 127.

PS Remember corrosion assessment is a relative thing. I advised the FAA Museum of the existance and availability of the Aeronavale Seafire III. They flew over in a two seat Hunter and pronounced the airframe beyond restoration to static condition and passed it up. That aircraft could well be flying in the next year!!

: That's very interesting, did you get the chance to have a

: I thought the reason that only the nose and one undercarr

: at once or the entire airframe would be scrapped on site.
: So they saved what they could.

: I would love to see those photographs you took, any possib
