Was going through my mums photo's today while taking a break from laying the Laminate floor, came across an old album from July 1980 at Raf Scampton (year dad left the airforce),baring in mind this album has been locked up in a cupboard for 26 years:

Dad's 3rd from right on the back row

Dad's on the back row somewhere

and this one was taken when my mum and dad first got married and he joined up:

all pic's where taken by my mum, except the last one.

I can spot 4 Vulcans in total!
3 in th third shot and one creeping in on the second.
I also like the Shackleton and the Canberra(s there is one is shot 2 at the back) and is that a Phantom in #1?

I love peeking into these albums... better than a "brag book" full of drooling-baby pictures, that's for sure.
Not bad quality considering their age...

Good snaps of the planes, and you can't go wrong with those old-timey formal group portraits- especially with an airplane in the group!

And that photo of your newly-wed folks is outstanding! Very nice!

My half-brother was a USAF radar tech in Hawaii just before the Vietnam thing; swears he can't recall taking any pictures of aircraft on the base back then, but I aim to dig thru his boxes of old photos some time... I'm sure there are at least pics with planes in the background. ;D
