Red Bellied Slider (Trechemys scripta scripta) at the moat of Fort Brockhurst. I counted at least 13 and they were at least 25cm long, maybe longer.
I cannot see the red mark that would make them Red-eared Terrapins.
"Red bellied Sliders are very similar in appearance and colouration to the Red Eared Terrapin and they will interbreed freely. Rare in the UK due to lower importation numbers and similar in habit to the Red Eared, they will grow to a slightly larger size for a similar age. However they do not have the red ear flash and the underside of the carpace is a pale red giving the animal it's name. In all other respects it's habit, behaviour and temperament is like the Red Eared. Red eared Terrapins are members of the genus Chelonia referring to reptiles with a shell, with nearly 250 species in the genus." www.herpetofauna.co.uk/red_eared_terrapin.htm

EC-BEO "Guecho"
Douglas DC-7C Seven Seas
45541/999
Trabajos Aereos Enlaces (TAE)
Another summer scene from Riem’s old viewing terrace in the late 1960s - EC-BEO has just landed on runway 25 and is taxiing in to the ramp in front of a mostly attentive audience.
Information from flickr - thanks to Ken Fielding:
A late build DC-7C, this aircraft was delivered to Alitalia in Jun-58 as I-DUVU. It was sold to Martin‘s Air Charter in Mar-66 as PH-MAK, they sold it to Liberty Air in Mar-67. It was sold again in Jun-67, to Spanish charter Airline TAE Trabajos Aereos Enlaces SA as EC-BEO.
The aircraft was damaged beyond repair in a ground fire at Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, in June 1969 and broken up for spares in 1974. (Source: aviation-safety.net)
