It's interesting that the ridge of Padon, and so also Sas Ciapel summit, where this picture was taken, is built of volcanic rocks. In the middle of Dolomites it's a nice contrast to pale colours of other mountains.

Four Vickers K's (or three Vickers K's and a Browning M2A1) gave the jeep a lot of punch. Its role was to attack enemy airfields at night, often after a desert journey of hundreds of miles - hence the large amount of extra water and petrol carried. The cylinder on the front is a condenser which allowed water boiling over from the radiator to be re-used.
View from the roof terrace - top memories of the heady 1980s at London Gatwick - when the variety of airlines and airliners was endless at Gatwick :)
Even in the late 1980s, Gatwick still had a dedicated viewing area on the roof of the original terminal building. It was used by flyers, relatives and plane spotters alike, and it even had a café and fountains! Here is a typical scene from one of my last ever visits, armed with my state-of-the-art brand-new Nikon F-501 SLR camera :)
There is a nice variety of aircraft in view - with NO EXAMPLES of the soon to be ubiquitous Airbus types :)

N4502R c/n 22496 'Huge Viking' Boeing 747-283B - originally allocated LN-RNB but ntu. Delivered new to SAS in October 1981, but barely flew with the airline for a year and a half before being leased to Nigeria Airways in June 1983. In March 1987 it was returned and passed to SAS charter subsidiary Scanair. Leased again to Philippine Airlines this time in November 1987, and then re-registered as EI-BZA in February 1989. Returned to the USA to AercoUsa Inc in February 1998 and operated by Tower Air as N622FF until March 2001. Withdrawn and broken up at New York JFK later that year.

New horizons - in 1988 I finally retired my trusty Zenith TTL and 300mm lens combo. I had been using various Zenits E, EM and TTL since 1979, but finally made the decision to upgrade. By this time, I wasn't visiting the airports so often, as the Airbus invasion was in full swing! I also had switched to mainly negative/print film since around 1983 as Kodachrome was so expensive, so I don't have all that many slides from the late 80s.
According to my records, on this day I had loaded up a 36 frame roll of Kodak Ektachrome E100 film.

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."
