Norrie Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Bargain of the week, courtesy of my local auction house...two photo albums , one from RAF Waddington, in 1998, and the other from RIAT at RAF Fairford in 1999...between them, their are almost 800 photographs...and inside the albums are the two programmes for the days, plus RIAT ticket and car sticker.......:) This post might not interest everyone, but to me, its a bit of Aviation History... LOTS of Tornado Pics too... Almost everything that can fly is photographed and in the two albums. I think whoever took the photos was a fairly good photographer....some of them are amazing...:) My copies are pants tho, just phone photos of photos under plastic film...:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 I think I was lucky too...and at £20 an album, it works out at about 5p per photo...:) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 The good thing about these photos is that you now have referance as to what paint they where in, and as a model builder that to me is very handy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
