Aerial picture of Portsmouth, and Royal Navy Dockyard. Taken from 1800ft, 16/8/97 from Piper Cherokee G-AYNJ. The original negative is 126mm square, the detail is magnificent!

This time my place of employment for over 30 years. Draper Tools Ltd, from Early 1987 until October 2017.

The head Office building stands out well in the town of Chandler's Ford. It was also well positioned as a good marker to start the run in to Right Base leg for runway 20 at Southampton Airport, back in the days I could fly in there. This was taken by a friend using the Williamson from the right hand seat of C172 G-BHCC as we passed by back in 1998.

Flying from Eastleigh airport to Canterbury airstrip in Cessna 150G, G-AVAA, 20th August 1994. My logbook tells me I departed at 12:55, this is roughly halfway along the track. I had no idea what the site was but it looked interesting, so the Williamson was pointed and fired. No mean feat the cramped confines of a Cessna 150. I subsequently finally got around to identifying the location some 30 years later in October 2024, courtesy of a Google Image search. It turns out to be St. Hugh's Charterhouse, Parkminster - and remains unchanged to this day.

The other vintage camera on this trip was the Ensign Speed Reflex, and an image of G-AVAA on the ground at Canterbury can be seen in that camera's gallery. Sadly G-AVAA made her last flight five months later, on her own, when she was irreparably damaged by a freak violent gust of wind across the ramp at Eastleigh. Her rear fuselage bearing the maker's plate made it into a museum restoration that now carries her registration letters. The propeller is in my spare room.
