Here we have a selection of images of RAAF C-130 airframes, from the collection of Ken Watson that were sent to me via Ed Russel of Red Roo Models. The email contents quoted below explains it in more detail. (Steve).

Hello Steve - I am going to send you more pictures (about 150 by file transfer) from the Ken Watson collection. This will include the 50-odd I already sent as I can’t sort them to tell me which ones you got - sorry about that but it should be obvious if you put them in one folder.

Ken is happy that they be used in any non-commercial way. If they are obviously a RAAF photo, credit RAAF Official via Ken Watson. The civilian ones were nearly all taken by Ken - just credit them as Ken Watson. Ken worked at various airports in Air Traffic Control and always carried a camera with him. The ATC staff would have advance notice of anything interesting arriving and would be ready on the flight line with cameras in hand. Cheers - Ed.

This time I have selected a group of 'Heavy Metal' i.e civilian airliners. Unfortunately there was no further info on these in the file that I got (Steve).
