Just scanned a few slides in from the above date.

Nothing particually interesting unless

you like a few old planes, a bi-plane and a B-17, couple of
old cars, power boat racing, sothend pier after the 1976 fire,
some old electric trains taken at stratford yard before it
was turned into the Olympic park.

Or cat pics! ;-)

Browsed the first two pages; nice memories. Looks like some of
the first page's flight pics could stand to have its sky cleaned
up, but that's probably pretty laborious to do in post. Have you
thought about any methods that would be relatively painless?

yes I did and concluded that I'd get someone else to do it was the least painful method :-)


Getting someone else to do your work is a valid solution.
it is fairly simple to do in PS. I can think of several easy ways, none
of which should take more than ten minutes.
1. Use the select subject tool and put in a new sky.
2. Put a blank layer on top,m and clone the clean sky over the dust and
scratches.
3. Use the spot removal tool.
4. Put in a textured background, and mask out the plane.
