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!

Fujifilm X-T2, Fujinon XF 10-24mm f4 R OIS at 22mm, 26s, f8, ISO 800

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.

I’m definitely looking forward to warm, bright days, I’m fed up with damp and dreary…
