We did have quite good cameras back in the Dark Ages of film!! Fuji and Kodak slide film seems to be ageing very well...Agfa would seem to be rubbish, looking very washed out, with a strange colour cast developing.

-Fantastic stuff Moondance,
I remember that day in February 1983 when G-BIKB made the first 757 shuttle flight to GLA, I believe G-BIKA made the EDI run at the same time ?
I was in 1st year at high school and took the day off to go and see the first arrival of a 757 in Scotland, your pictures even include the BBC Scotland news crew filming the event for 'Reporting Scotland'.
Nice to meet you last week too, and as Kevin says ... 'anytime'... :D
