Baby Deltic Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 That is my biggest regret: Seeing all the 309's and never photographing them, or much else for that matter. Back in the 80's the attitude was that they'd always be around. Should've bought a decent camera and learned how to use it, and get my films developed by decent labs....

BigBountyHunter Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Totally 100% agree, ive just been looking through some of my photos ....... and erm well to be honest id be embarrassed to show some of them!
