Auction House bargain...:)

[Norrie]

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...:)

Hello Norrie,

You lucky man to find these, they are superb, great images also.......I still love the B17 and the P51 Mustang images...(and of course the Great and Superb....Spitfire ) . Well Done and many thanks for showing us on MCN.

Best to you....ian

I think I was lucky too...and at £20 an album, it works out at about 5p per photo...:)

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

That did cross my mind actually...a great reference work...and I don't need to go thumbing through all the photos, as the original owner has indexed all the aircraft he took pics of...:)
