Air Corps Spitfire Photos on Flickr
« on: December 04, 2011, 10:57:13 am »
People here may be interested to see these excellent photos, taken at Baldonnel in the late 1950s.  There are some good close-up shots and I suspect that some of these have not been published elsewhere before.

Good research Sierra Fox! There is a lot of history in these shots - let's hope it can be appreciated and added to. :applause:

Would say that they are Air Corps photographs, I got two of them from the Air Corps many years ago. The Congo airlift photos are very interesting.

I only recognise a few of them. Would love to know where the originals of the rest of them are  :airforce_huh:

Just dug out my Spitfire pics and discovered that they are not the same as those I mentioned earlier as Air Corps pictures.
Great pictures anyway.
