Isn't it amazing how a film could last so long in a camera without disintegrating?
Fantastic photos taken 68 years ago. Some of you will have to go to a museum to see what a Brownie camera looked like.
Here is a simple picture of what we are talking about. .. .
These photos are absolutely incredible........Read below the first picture and at the end...

PEARL HARBOUR

What devastation, a place not to be at that time, to think I was born 10 days after that happened,

Amazing piece of history preserved, But must have been very scary filming it at the time. I wasn't even born and Jim would have been about 18months old and I think he had moved out of coventry with his mum and younger sister because they were bombed out. He hated the siren at Battlesbury when we moved into Warminster because it brought all the fear back when he first heard it. He did get use to it in the end but he didn't like hearing it.He was about 5and half when the war ended. I know he was joining the army when I was starting Junior school, because I use to call him old , when told the boys off over their choice of music. He was a Big Band sound Man where as I was The Who Fan and a few more like them and of course the Rolling Stones use to go toThe Jazz Club on Ely pie Island
ReplyDeleteOur family once owned that camera exactly as shown - wish we'd kept it - probably worth a mint today!
