More Pics From The Past

Posted by Mike Henniger on Thu Feb 05, 2004 07:21:25 PM

Hello all,

I have scanned a few more negs. These negs were copy negs from slides that were loaned to me in 1995. The Gentleman who loaned them to me was John Thomas, a friend of my grandfather and a former RCAF F-86 pilot. You can find the pics at ...

There are a few shots of Canadair Sabres, plus a few shots of one of the two RCAF deHavilland DH-106 Mk 1A Comets! These shots were apparently taken in Italy. There are also some pictures taken at a Farnbough air show. Mr. Thomas indicated the pictures were taken in the mid to late 1950s and, and by cross referencing that with the Scramble air shows lists, I am guessing it was the 1957 show. The pics include a Vulcan, a Hunter, a Sea Vixen, a BEA Comet, two Gannets, an EE Lightning, and a Gnat.

I haven't filled in comments for the photos yet, but they will be coming soon.

Ejoy!

Mike
