Cheers, Milton.

I suppose the one thing they all have in common is their extreme ability to catch flies!
We have house sparrows in our garden that try but they tend to generate more heat than light in their efforts!

Roger.

Was it a captive bird, John?

Is it a barn owl, it's quite dark plumage, isn't it?

Roger.

Great images of a wonderful creature, Steve!
No. 4 is breath-taking with that 3D effect!

Could you give us a little of the context in which they were shot?

From a hide?
Where you knew it would be?
Out for a walk, & there it was?
Informed of its presence, or researched & found it?

Any info would be appreciated.....

Thanks,

Roger.

Hope you like them / find them interesting.


(Good fun fiddling around with FP3 negs found in the loft, getting ready to move house!)

Roger.

Brilliant, Michael!

Even I can see it now.

All that effort in the building of it and it's gone forever!

Quite a strange feeling, I was there snapping, forty plus years on, negs from the loft, fiddled around with, processed into b&w, posted here, and...

Ta-daa!

Pentaxuser forum community, like the cavalry, to the rescue!

Absolutely love it!

Thanks to all, again, for a most interesting afternoon.

Roger.

Thanks, Michael, I did mean a Bristol freighter, but don't know that that is what it was, if you see what I
I mean.....

And yes, you're quite right.
It's not the NWT!

Next!

Good here, isn't it?



Roger.

Great response Chaps!

Thanks to all for v.good memories!

Thinking the building could be the NatWest tower, building started 1970 (ex Wiki).

I think the 'plane behind the Comet is a BEA Vickers Viscount.
I'm looking closely to see if I can make out the reg. of the BOAC tailfin on the right, to cross-ref. the year.
The one in the distance from the car park... is it one of those car transporters where the nose divided & hinged open for loading.....?


Thanks for looking, all.

Roger.

It's G-APDM, Ian.

Hope this helps!

thanks for looking,

Roger.
