| A friend from York has recently (February 2010) lent us his collection of aircraft postcards, which will appear here as and when we find time to scan them and process the images. Thanks Eric ! If you have some old postcards of planes that you would like to see here, please scan them and email them to us and we will add them to this page - with an appropriate acknowledgement should you so wish. They should be at least 50 years old. |
