Photographer's remark
(23.2.2017, 16:14 CET)
This picture was taken in misty sunshine on a crisp winter afternoon just after New Year in 1972. It shows Argosies of 70 Sqn, RAF Near East Air Force, in storage on the eastern apron at No. 5 Maintenance Unit, RAF Kemble only eleven years after the type entered service. These aircraft were broken up within the next few years. The last Argosies left the RAF in 1975. (The camera was a Zenit B with a 400mm Prinz Galaxy lens and 400 ASA film.)
