In the summer of 2012 I discovered several boxes of slides on the ceiling, well hidden and covered with lots of dust. I found out that these where my old collection of military aircraft slides covering a period between 1960 till 1984. So, what should I do with it. Putting them back on the ceiling was no option.
I deceided to buy myself a scanner and share the pictures with all the aircraft enthousiasts all over the world. Internet is the perfect media to do so. As my collection consist of several thousand slides I consider this as an long term project.
I would specialy thank Marinus Dirk Tabak (MDT), an old friend of mine who made this all possible. Recently I expanded with his aid my collection with another several thousand slides.
So, the collection is now representing a period between 1960 til present with air forces all over the world.
I also wish to thank other (new) friends of mine, Claudio Toselli from Italy, Timm Ziegenthaler from Germany and Henk "Omar" van der Lugt From Holland who are supplying me with their breathtaking slides.
All slides are enhanced with Photoshop and some additional software to bring back all the details and correct colour.
If you have any comment, just let me know.
Be patience, keep watching and enjoy.
I am a collector, not a photographer
If anyone wants to trade slides just let me know.

"I have had a lifelong interest in military aircraft. It is a great pleasure to see such a collection which spans so many years and types. They bring back many memories. The photographs must have taken much time and effort in order to present them so stunningly and in uploading them.
Thank you very much for all the work and willingness to share the images.
