    WWII Colour RAF/SAAF photo Stream

    Great photo stream here of colour photos from the RAF and SAAF during the Second World War. Some nice detail shots. Allow plenty of time to view this stream.

                  Thanks for sharing Joe, very nostalgic, seeing all those old photos is almost hypnotic, you just have to view them all. A gold mine of reference material for all you WWII modellers. Cheers Derek

                      Here you go:
                      World War Two ended 79 years ago, and nearly all of us that use the Net today did not witness any of it. Everything we know we read in books, viewed in photos and saw in newsreels of the time. Colour photography was in its infancy in 1939 therefore more than 90% of those images were recorded in black and white. Fortunately there were people who took colour photos, and today these images gives us a rare view(on our own "colour" terms) into those happenings of so long ago. This set contains aircraft used by the Royal Air Force of Great Britain including Fleet Air Arm and to a lesser extent the South African Air Force, as well as other Allies in the British Commomwealth .....and a few other odds and ends. None of these photos are my own and were obtained from, amongst others, various online photo archives, books, the internet and friends. Copyright. I am aware that some of these images may be subject to copyright, and will gladly remove any such items if so requested by the genuine holder of the rights. In no way is any income derived from this set and the sole purpose is to share with fellow aircraft enthusiasts and modellers . My E mail address is on the 'About' page.
