Again, from my Nikon shot slide collection:
Horse Guards Parade - sometime in the middle 60’s - an exhibition of aircraft from WWII
Another English village
End of season - seaside cafes etc closed for the winter

Love the third one, Chris. Looks very bleak and cold. Can understand why everything's closed up. Must bring back some fantastic memories for you going through your old collection. Keep 'em coming!
Cheers
Peter

Interesting shots, Chris. Were they done with a Sigma?

I like #2 Chris - B&W gives a 1950/1960s feel to the image. The passers-by in suits and the Tudor facade of the building emphasise this feel.

In this case Kerry they were all Nikon lenses which ones - no idea - too far back in time

They're superb Chris.
I love the seaside shot, reminds me of the stuff that Martin Parr shot in Birkenhead in the 1980s that I was reading about only the other day.
We could try and organise a "then and now" thread.

Love the first photo of the plane. Never ceases to amaze me everytime I see an old warbird like that, imagining how hard it would have been to fly it let alone try and out-manouver someone else.

Trying to work out what plane it is.
Not a spitfire or hurricane as they didn't have a bubble canopy it was a canopy that merged at the back into the body.
Looks like a Hawker Tempest.

Love the photos Chris. The pub probably hasn't changed a bit too

That’s amazing Steve that you found a ref to the actual aircraft I photographed

Easy Chris. You just have to remember that the internet isn't just porn, chat rooms, book sellers and auction sites
