What an amazing collection of piccies he has there!  :thumbsup:

And take a look at the other airfield collections listed along the top row menu, LOADS more stuff there to wonder at.

JayBee should love the period shots at Prestwick.....  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes, thank you for sharing!  The boneyard has changed a lot since the time your pictures were taken and when I was stationed there from 1993-1997.  I guess I will have to dig out my pictures from my time there and get them scanned into the computer.

Pretty cool pics.

I got some on the tour in 2010 during the National Convention in Phoenix.

Indeed yes. Many are the hours I spent round the North side in amongst those Sabres, and Fleet Air Arm Skyraiders, and Twin Pins, etc, etc.
