a verry poor scan of an old picture....

[Stephan Lodewijks]

Finally a different angle from the one we all know. Impressive!

It was 1983 if memory serves me right, not 1980! One hell of a low-pass!

October 19th 1983 if you ask me!
Can someone PLEASE post an image with soundfile attached?

[SG Berlicum]

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....

Regards,

Gerard

LMAO!

[SquAdmin]

Now, that's LOW!

And just so nobody misses this:

(praktica with a 50mm (!) lens

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.

[SG Berlicum]

Thanks for all the nice comments, chaps!

@ pete: would like to see those old pictures
@ Theo: sorry, have no facebook account right now

Kind regards,

Gerard

[Pete]

I will do it but for the next two weeks i am abroad, so it will take some time
