Neil Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Have posted a couple of these on ARC before, some b/w pics taken by my Dad during his time in the RAF at RAF Nicosia during the 50's (he was there during Suez etc). Dad is the chap polishing the canopy in one of the pics, one of his mates took that. 1950's diorama anyone? Will dig out a few more from his albums.

miduppergunner Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I have enjoyed those Neil - thanks - to me Black and White is the ideal media for such pictures - they are really good and I am trying to remember the names of some friends who were out there then. Thanks again. David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
