About Escapes & Landscapes

We hope this collection of photographs will be as much a source of interest and enjoyment to the viewer as they have been to us during the selection process.   

(My father) has enjoyed photography at air shows for 60 years or so and of our railway 
heritage. Along the way, some of the wonders of nature have also been recorded for 
posterity.

In most cases, the photographs were taken ‘for the record’ rather that with perfection
of composition in mind. Inevitably, some of the subjects and locations are no longer
with us or have since changed guise. Some of the photographs of once common
subjects have therefore become even more ‘interesting’ than when they were taken.
Most of them are evocative of the ‘(good) old days’.

The photographs are arranged in various galleries to facilitate finding images of interest, and  the search facility will enable specific subjects, locations and events to be found from the various galleries.

The published photographs are only a fraction of those in our collection, so if we have not included a subject of your particular interest, please contact us and we will endeavour to (find it for you).

Further images will be added to the website on a regular basis.

Specific information included with the images regarding dates, serial numbers and operators at the time, for example, are taken from (my father’s) notes of the day and/or programmes/published data of the events.
