Would just like to give a big to Elmdon 74 aka Simon for taking these pictures over the years. It's been great for me to be able to travel back in time even if only for a few moments.

I arrived back on G-TCDZ today around 1pm ish. I noticed loads of people over Sheldon Country Park, I don't suppose anybody got a picture?

Well, I finally managed to get my old Nikon LS-40 slide/negative scanner up and running. It wasn't easy, as I had to dismantle it in order to clean a very delicate mirror that had become coated in dust. Also, I had to get software written for Win Xp 32 bit to run on Win 7 64 bit. Fortunately, some clever chap had written a software update and a guide to installation.
So, as you may have guessed, I've been busy scanning my old negatives.
If you like BHX nostalgia, you may enjoy these -

Funny you should say that, sorry for the bad quality though. Im not very good at taking photo's.

Glad you had a good holiday
Welcome back to sunny Birmingham.

Thanks for the memories Kevin.

A few more from my trip to BHX today, after 12.00pm it went really hot. It started cloudy though as seen from the Marston Green footbridge.




After this i walked all the way up the perimeter fence to the top of the golf course by the Monarch hangar.

Brum X,
You have obviously walked around the perimeter fence from the Sheldon country park side.
Out of interest was it very muddy?Last time I went round that way it was virtually impassable.

No mate, it was not muddy. However as summer has arrived so have loads of overgrown areas and them horrible stinging nettles but apart from them, the winter mud has gone.

Thank you so much

Would you mind if I saved a copy, just for myself?

What a great set of pictures, many happy memories there. I'd totally forgotten about Royal Airlines.
