When I was a Photographer in the Ministry of Aviation I went to the AVRO Factory with a Senior Photographer and we had to go up into a Vulcan to photograph the Electronics and Hydrolics Systems -- we had a whole plate Ex=RAF Camera, glass plates and a photoflood then did a time exposure of several minutes while waving the lamp about -- it gave very good results-- the plates were 'Contact Printed' -- that was about 1959.

Got 4 of 'em so sorry -- will not want another !! People think any 'Old Camera' is a 'Collector's Item' until the reality hits home !

I wish someone would call me 'Dude' -- maybe I'm too OLD and not 'Streetwise' but I HAVE been in photography since 1951 ---

Peter Elgar
As this is a sort of 'Photography' site then the details should be added.
