Heading off on their Holidays


A fine, evocative photograph. A time when people actually dressed up smart to fly on planes.

You'll recognise this as a picture of an Eastern Airlines Douglas DC-7B airliner. This was the last real Piton Engine Powered Airline to be developed - after this turbojets, turbofans and turboprops rules the skies.

This one, serial number N848D, ended up as a water bomber, and alas crashed in 1992.

Grand Opening - All-Ways Travel


I was looking for a suitable slide to mark World Toilet Day, but this one caught me eye.  The Grand Opening (?) of All-Ways Travel in Feb 1969. Location - I know not, but Florida seems to be a possibility.  Maybe someone will recognise the names of Elizabeth Persons
 or Lois Eborn Gibart
Bonus - US navy grounds pilot for drawing 'obscene' image with warplane

Bonus 2 - Behold the ROBOT RECTUM... medics' relief

Street Scene


A slide from June 1967, and of a too rarely photographed subject.

Ordinary people, on an ordinary street, on an ordinary day.

This is what real people looked like in 1967.  There may be thousand of picture of Prince Charles at his Investiture, but this, THIS, is what normal folk look like.

Bonus - Biggest Then and Now.
