A bit off topic, I admit, but maybe of interest:

 

I went through some of the countless slides my father had made, and I found one box that will get further attention. But as we were using the C-47 quite a bit, I thought I could share theses pics right now. They were takenin  February 1959 in Eglinton (Northern Ireland, I believe):

 

 

 

 

Amazing! I confess, it looks strange to see crosses on them.

Those images surely capture the spirit of the moment. A tip of my hat to the memory of your father's photography.

Thanks.

Very nice Gunter! Closing the eyes in an "airplane haze " one can almost hear and smell them..
