Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.

I think both images are from the same day in September and as usual I’ve no idea of which camera, lens or exact film stock were used!

Another image from the night photo shoot at Newark Air Museum I took part in back in October…

XS417 first flew on 17 July 1964 and was delivered to 226 Operational Conversion Unit (OCU) at Royal Air Force (RAF) Coltishall in May 1965.

XS417 spent its final few years moving between 11 Squadron at RAF Binbrook and the Lightning Training Flight before being retired in May 1987 and was finally moved to Newark Air Museum on 27 April 1988.

Some more Fujichrome from 2001 for today’s Slide Film Sunday.

This Great Western Railway (GWR) 4900 ‘Hall’ class 4-6-0 steam loco was photographed at the Didcot Railway Centre in Oxfordshire… another place I really must revisit!

Again I’ve got no idea of the details of this dimly lit interior shot other than the film is probably Fujichrome Sensia and I almost certainly wasn’t using a tripod!

Throwback Thursday… Nottingham

What was I photographing on this day in previous years?

Nine years ago it was a couple of odd corners of the city of Nottingham.

Designed by T.C. Hine, the Great Northern Railway (GNR) corn warehouse dates from 1857 and is Grade II Listed but was badly damaged by fire in 1998 and as far as I’m aware is still standing but derelict.

This Reliant 5cwt van was perched on top of a container and advertising ‘Lady Bay Independant Car Breakers’ near the racecourse in Colwick. The 5cwt van was the predecessor of the ‘Supervan’ that was made famous by the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses.

A Happy Christmas to all*

I’ve been a little too busy to post regularly this December, the image below (courtesy of Mrs Claus) will hopefully explain what’s been keeping me occupied!
