It was at the Shell servo at Laverton, but I don't know any of its history!

Fleetwings, I used to visit it often. I’m pretty sure that it has been restored and flying now.

Here are a few more images from the scanned slide collection as promised.

 

 

There are a lot more, but most of them are covered in dust - require cleaning and rescanning. All require editing to some degree.

Here are a few more. First, two aircraft that I used to fly regularly for a while...

 

 

A couple of other blasts from the past ... Lilydale where I did some of my flying ...

 

 

A couple from Essendon ....

 

 

and a couple of thumbnails of the original slides before editing. The large photos above are all 750 x 422 megapixels (16:9 format). The original scanned images are 2592 x 1944 mp.

Thought you'd like it. Here's another.

 

 

Also from the airshow at Lilydale ..

 

 

More from the Laverton Airshow in the 60's. I redid the Vulcan after cleaning up the slide.

 

 

Australia's first business jet, VH-BIZ - Dassault Falcon.

 

 

And finally, one from Parafield and one from Moorabbin.

No idea. It was a long time ago.
