Another box of slides from 1962 to 1965

[ronturner]

I have been bashing out a few more from my archive. Some I discarded, but essentially anything with a hint of Douglas, Pratt and Whitney, in fact any radial and darts, just had to go in.

Lets start with something I discovered taken in 1962:-

I particularly like this photo:-


OO-SRC Cravelle 6 Sabena Speke 26 Nov 1964 by Ron Turner, on Flickr

I wonder in today's traffic conditions, if the right aircraft came a long, would flights to the isle if Wight be profitable today?


G-ANCI DH Heron 1 Mercury Airlines Speke. Septenber 1964 by Ron Turner, on Flickr

I wonder what this was doing. Passengers boarding


G-ASNM SN61N BEA Helicopters July 1964 by Ron Turner, on Flickr

Hands Up I just cannot resist a DC-3 and is it not evocative for it to be the sole thing on the tarmac. How many times ...?

Great photos. Of course for the younger viewers!! These would have all landed on 26/08 . I can just about remember being taken to the end of 26 to see stuff landing.

[vanguard]

The photos Ron are mind blowing,who would have thought the aircraft in the photos would cause such a response,so many airlines and so many types not to mention the time we all had to wait for them to arrive,thanks Ron, here's to many more 👏👏

This is an incredible resource Ron. Sadly, when spotting from the balcony in the late 50s to the mid 60s, I did not have a camera and so these are a marvellous reminder of those times and evoke many memories. Thank you!!

Wonderful stuff Ron, incredible variety and also excellent quality - your restoration efforts are working an absolute treat.

Thanks so much for sharing - and please keep them coming!

[8miles27]

These are fantastic Ron - my era sixties on the balcony - and yes please keep them coming !!

Superb post Ron. Pity I wasn't born 10 years earlier (for the purposes of seeing these beasts in the flesh ONLY)

G-AMLZ Percival Prince still in the same place now as it was then but a bit more static now. Beemer.
