The Facebook page has really proved its worth in harvesting photos.
We are now adding a link to the Facebook imaged back to the relevant aircraft page to bring more attention to the main website.

I notice that historically views of this page regularly topped 1,000 views.
Now they are in the mere dozens.
My fault for not keeping the updates updated regularly.
We will add a monthly link on Facebook to this page so the Facebookites can see what we are up to.


I don't normally post selfies
