There was an English Electric Lightning sitting on the airfield. Have no idea of its history.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-32497919121741404552020-07-19T04:55:21.519+12:002020-07-19T04:55:21.519+12:00Ahhhh,the TSR2.

That's worth knowing about for some of the poorer quality photos I have.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-83797125248905676772020-06-20T00:52:55.418+12:002020-06-20T00:52:55.418+12:00Wonderful images.

What I have are many older lower res scans so during the shutdown I have been using a program called Gigapixel to upscale them with reasonably good results. I'd like to fix up all the old low resolution photos but as you say it's a big project.Motorcycle Paradise https://www.blogger.com/profile/13402800735593646123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-76846135338405684352020-06-01T07:53:57.843+12:002020-06-01T07:53:57.843+12:00Hi Sue!

However, there have been some delightful finds and surprises amongst the slides and negatives. They'll be great to pass onto our kids.Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-5604992989763400762020-05-31T21:49:38.990+12:002020-05-31T21:49:38.990+12:00I dips me lid!

I still reckon that it's going to take a fair chunk of winter evenings to do the slides and negatives. I'm not even thinking about all the old photos which don't have negatives - a whole new project!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341114511830074977.post-61590753554014485602020-05-27T20:14:19.554+12:002020-05-27T20:14:19.554+12:00Cool stuff.

Maybe if I'd spent $600 on the scanner I would have finished them all by now ;)Andrew Thomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716829007873864871noreply@blogger.com
