A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun August 30, 2009: My father flew in these occasionally from ballykelly but i was too young to remember so any decent low level shots like this are great!
A visitor from - posted Tue August 11, 2009: Wonderful. don't forget this picture was taken in 1966!
A visitor from - posted Fri July 17, 2009: I definitly agree with gentelman that celebrates piston engine's sound. Love historic Great Pics ! Greetings from Argentina.
A visitor from United States posted Sun April 27, 2008: Hit the deck, everyone!! Air raid!!! Totally amazing, and breathtaking approach.
A visitor from - posted Sun March 16, 2008: I was on Shacks in the 60's It was cetainly not practice to fly on two engines and certainly not have two feathered on the same side. Unless it is an illusion then there must have been an emergency
A visitor from Bulgaria posted Wed November 14, 2007: Amazing photo!!! But why engines 1 and 2 are off?
A visitor from United States posted Tue August 28, 2007: Yeah, we've all heard the line that piston aircraft are inefficient maintenance hogs. So? But the SOUND! The SOUND! Be it radial or V-12, what a sound. And the charactor of a piston aircraft. All jets can do is scream. Like the pilot of the former MATS Connie wore on his ball cap, "Jets Are For Kids". Thanks Richard for the photos from the glorious past! A standing O with tears a-flowing, Sir!
A visitor from United States posted Fri August 3, 2007: Thanks Rich,An awesome shot of days gone bye.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri July 13, 2007: This is Hugo's star photo of RAF Majunga days ! Dennis Lancaster ex RAF Telegraphist
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 12, 2007: Starkly illustrates how people find aircraft so interesting and difficult to ignore. Wonder if they realised that it was running on only half its engines?
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu July 12, 2007: Brilliant and very unusual shot to have an raf aircraft over madagascar in 1966.
A visitor from Malaysia posted Thu July 12, 2007: Amazing pic...looks like the plane is swooping down for an attack.
A visitor from New Zealand posted Thu July 12, 2007: Now that is an awesome photo, and the quality is very good too given the age of the picture. - Leo P.
A visitor from Hong Kong posted Wed July 11, 2007: Such a Historical photo 1966... But i'm curious to know about the details of the mission for the low flying and why it was held in Madagascar.. It seems that the A/C was getting down...
A visitor from Romania posted Wed July 11, 2007: It is picture that takes you back in time.Nice!
A visitor from Austria posted Tue July 10, 2007: What a great picture! I almost can hear the two remaining engines running, if I only would know what they sound like....
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Tue July 10, 2007: What an awesome snapshot of history! Thanks for the reminder of those glorious days of piston power!
A visitor from United States posted Tue July 10, 2007: What an amazing and historical photo!
