Re: Just a nice period picture
Some more nice period shots from London, taken from this great 1970 Pathe Film:-

Re: Just a nice period picture
Brilliant mab, could look at that stuff all day long!
Quite a free for all going on in amongst the traffic and all those FX4 Austin taxis look very swish with blacked out rear screens (Shadolite glass..?) and raised digits white on black number plates. Hardly any vehicles with the new-fangled reflective yellow and white plates too.

Re: Just a nice period picture
Those lovely London buses in the last pic make it for me. Just prior to the Routemasters I'd guess.

Re: Just a nice period picture
Following through all the links from those clips you'll find loads of stuff on London in the '60s, Carnaby Street, the Beatles Apple boutique, John Lennon's psychedelic Rolls, etc. Great stuff.

Re: Just a nice period picture
Off topic Kees but...... Delft. We used to get a LOT of night vision kit from Delft called Oude-de-Delft. Good quality stuff.
