Michou Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 "Post your latest photos here", it says. These are my earliest - is that permitted? 🙂 The Goodyear Trophy at Shoreham in 1954. I don't remember too much about it and haven't a clue as to the camera I used. The negatives are 6 x 9 cm ad not very sharp. However, there is one thing that I clearly recollect. Back then I read that jet aircraft were slow to accelerate and there is a great difference between reading and actually seeing. It was a handicap race and the Mew Gull took off a few moments after the Sparrow Jet and overtook it while the Sparrow Jet was still on the runway!
