Album Notes
This is Part two of the 'They Like Water' album. As with
Part 1
,
I wanted it contain only my own images, but it found I did not have enough to make a reasonably sized
second album.
Worse still the reason I didn't have enough pictures was due to the fact that in 2001, two years
after my return from Canada, I reviewed my huge collection of 35mm Slides and made, what with
hindsight was a very bad, no make that idiotic decision:
I would concentrate only on photographs of Airliners, Military Aircraft and Warbirds, so I worked
through the collection 'weeding out' everything that didn't conform and put them all in Supermarket
Carrier Bags and then binned them.
It did not take me long to realise I had made huge mistake, but by then it was too late to recover
the slides. This error of judgement is one of the main reasons I am now passionate about rescuing
old slides and photographic prints from destruction (See:
About Rescuing Aviation Photographs
).
The only reason sufficient Pictures survived my brainstorm to make Part 1 and my Photographs in
part 2, is that they were still packed away and escaped my vandalising my own collection.
With a shortfall in pictures for this Album I turned to my friend Linda Chen and she graciously
allowed me to select from the Photographs she had taken on a visit to Vancouver in 2004. I chose
four for this album and these have been credited accordingly. For Links to Linda;s Aviation
