Grimbergen, Belgium, 23rd August 1975

Continuing the Belgian road trip (previous posts), I made a second visit to Grimbergen Airfield. This was, I think, a weekend and the big hangars were open and the private pilots very active. So much more of interest compared to the first visit.

on checking aircraft type found out that oo-fas had crashed just over a year later, if you interested, but in saying that there is a photo of it wingless a few years later (1979)

I was hoping that someone would tell me what it was!

Many thanks for the comments, and my photo equipment in those days was a bog standard body, a big but simple 400 mm 'tube' lens, and two simple standard lenses . No metering, just a guess or two. Always bought good quality film though.
