Titel nach einer wunderbaren Erzählung von Klara Obermüller
aus ihrem neuen Buch Schwarz auf weiss ...
in der sie über das Glück ihrer allerersten Ferien in den Bündner Bergen erzählt
... und das sie bei einem Besuch am Ort des Kindheitszaubers nicht
mehr gefunden hat ...
....wohl aber in ihrem Herzen ....
Oft ist es mir auch schon so ergangen
... das Lied von Josef Reinhard sang uns unsere Mutter oft vor ...
( sie hatte im Appenzellerland wohl oft etwas Heimweh nach ihrer
fernen Juraheimat )
... so verbindet sich das Bild meiner geliebten Juralandschaft
mit dem Text und der Musik zu einer berührenden Erinnerung an ferne
glückliche Kindertage ....
Herbstmelancholie & Herbstglück zugleich ...
S het deheim e Vogel gsunge, i der Hostet vor em Huus,
ha ne welle foh mit Hände, bin em noh dur d Hostet uus.
Bi dernoh i d Frömdi gange, wo nen andre Vogel singt;
han i glost, ob us der Heimet mir kei Wind es Liedli bringt.
Bin i wider heizue gange, s' isch der Vogel wo mi zieht;
möcht ne nümme foo mit Hände, ghörti numme gärn sis Lied
Melodie: Carl Hess, Text: Josef Reinhard

New birds for 2026 😍 Thought I'd start off the New Year (running late as usual) with another rare shot!
One of Fred Olsen's Lockheed Electras making a very rare appearance on cross-wind Runway 23 at Heathrow. I still can't believe that these old birds were still flying into London well into the 1980s!
I remember well seeing all three of the Fred Olsen Electras at Heathrow, especially in the 1970s. I had forgotten though that they continued flying into the late 1980s - and this shot is from March 1985. It's the only time I remember seeing one fly over my house in Southall - very lucky that I was at home photographing that day 😍
The aircraft
To give the younger enthusiasts an idea of the sheer variety of aircraft to be seen at Heathrow in the 1980s, here is a list of the frames that I took that afternoon...
Frame 24 G-AWZR BA Trident 3
Frame 25 LN-FOH Fred Olsen Lockheed L-188A Electra (rare!)
Frame 26 HZ-AHD Saudia Lockheed L-1011-200 TriStar
Frame 27 A4O-HMQ Oman Royal Flight Douglas DC-8-73CF
Frame 28 garden flowers :)
Frame 29 N749WA Flying Tigers / Viasa Boeing 747-273C
Frame 30 N916R Icelandair Douglas DC-8-55F
Frame 31 G-BOAG BA Concorde (rare on 23!)
Frame 32 5Y-BBK Kenya Airways Boeing 707-351B
Frame 33 LN-MOW SAS Douglas DC-8-62
Frame 34 SE-DBG SAS Douglas DC-8-62 (second one!)
Frame 35 XV105 RAF Vickers VC-10 C.1
and that's just the ones I thought worth photographing 😂😃
The film
From around 1983-84 I largely stopped using Kodachrome slide film in favour of the cheaper option of colour print film of various brands and qualities! The quality doesn't compare very well with Kodachrome, but cash was tight in them there days 😅
On this occasion, I was using the fairly cheap Fuji HR-200 Fujicolour HR-200 film - I find the results quite grainy and with a slightly pale colour palette, but the film has pretty good reviews still - see below:
"One of the standout features of Fujifilm 200 is its vibrant yet natural color rendition. The film is known for producing rich, saturated colors without being overly exaggerated. At ISO 200, this film strikes a good balance between grain and sharpness. The grain is fine and unobtrusive, adding just enough texture to give images that quintessential film look without detracting from detail." See more here: www.filmprocessing.co.uk/post/fujifilm-200-review/?srslti...
Who remembers posting off their films and getting a set of prints back a couple of weeks later - with an extra set of prints and a free film! At least I carried on capturing those memories for the archives...

Repainted to white FOF colours in 1985 until it was painted all black for the "Air de Cologne" freighter Project by SAS Cargo early 1988. Less than 6 months later the project was over, but LN-FOH remained black until it was back to standard FOF colours 1990,
flew with TNT stickers in 1991,
and back to standard FOF colours the rest of its life with FOF, until WFU 01-1997

One of the delicious ideas of SAS Cargo, to paint one of FOFs Electras in black and call it "Air de Cologne" just to mark Cologne as a new hub for Cargo operations.

There was only one 442 working into London Bridge on a weekday and the return working, 1823 to Eastbourne, is seen passing Forest Hill on 22 April 2009, formed of 2423 and 2417; note that 2423 is still in SWT livery.
A local car to me. Looks like it had a new exhaust when I took the photo 2 years ago.
