Anybody seen "Goldfinger"?





My cousin was stationed at Ft. Knox when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg way back in 1994.

I've only been on this site for 10 years now, I decided that I should make my time here worthwhile.


I like your photos too ertrum...don't feel left out.

Fear not -- I didn't feel left out.

Great!

Just making sure.

Really, I figure I have all these photos...might as well do something with them. Besides, some of them aren't half bad. Somebody else might enjoy them.

Chatham Royal Dockyard, now mainly a tourist attraction.

A parrot tulip that used to grow next to my house. Really need to get more of these bulbs sometime.

These are the old docks.

Should have put this in the October thread since I took the photo around that time last month.

Oh well.



Meet Boris!

You can keep him...

The Royal Engineer's training college near Rochester.

Got to have spiders to keep those other insects in check. But yes, I was a little too close to the subject while taking that photo. And the next day the web was gone.

An Elephant flower growing at my Uncle's house.

A building used as a wedding venue off the A2 in Kent

If only I had the extra money. :-(

I'm a big Pontiac fan because of my Dad. We had a LeMans Can-Am in the late 70s with a 400ci motor, just like this Firebird. We traded it for a Station Wagon (That's an Estate Wagon for you folks across the pond).



Sorry for the image quality, I took this photo with my old phone.

Somewhere 5500 feet above one of the drop zones at Ft. Bragg NC.

As the 11th Doctor would say - "Geronimo!"



I used a Kodak disposable camera set on panorama to take this one. Didn't feel like taking the chance of dropping the Nikon I had back then. Wish I still I had it. Thing just disappeared one day. Such is life.

Forgot to add that this jump was either out of a C-130 Hercules or a C-141 Starlifter in 1994.

They don't use C-141s very much anymore, it was a four engine jet. Instead of the props used on the C-130. Very easy to get caught up in the jet wash when you jump if you're not careful...or you happen to be really unlucky. :-(

Now they switched over to mostly C-17s.
