Indeed it was October 1983, sorry about that.
It was my first day out with a camera (praktica with a 50mm (!) lens and my first roll of film with 12 pictures.... Lucky shot that was.
(for our younger readers, a roll of film is something that people used to put into theri photocamera's. A roll was able to take 12, 24 or 36 pictures. When finished people bring this roll to a photoshop (that's an actual store, not a some software on a pc). A week later you could go back to see the results on paper. For the good readers; indeed no change to edit a picture......)
unfortunately no sound available. Those day's we had competitions to reproduce this sound by our selves....

Combine that with the 'altitude', and the speed a wingless aeroplane like the 104 needs to stay aloft, and try to imagine what it was like for Gerard and others.
(For our younger readers: the Prakticas were, like all SLR bodies in those days, full frame.)
As proud owner of a Praktica MTL5B, ( don't ask my age ).. i give high credit to this shot and the low approach. I started with this camera and produced far worse pictures with the same camera and lens, having said so i recently discovered some photo's of a RNLN lynx before the rotorblade modification and a S76 of KLM helicopters. So at least i was able to record history with it. Like said kudo's for the shot.
Regards Pete.
Btw. if there is any interest for my pictures i am willing to scan them.
