Capt Remy - this is your History.

Wow it looks like a movie set, it seems so strange to see photos of that age in colour and such great condition. I wonder if they've been touched up...they are great, I love old photographs...in a couple of them they look as though they didn't have a care in the world...you can't even imagine what they were going through

Doesn't look as anywhere near as old as I thought it was when there's colour

Aw :) They look like they're having fun.
The pictures honestly look like they were took in the 80s.

Yes Kodakchrome and Agfachrome
from the Era took great Photos.
Film kept in a small metal case/tin.


These Color Photos are Utra Rare
and Pure Bliss

These look like a film! It's very strange to see these in colour.... we're so used to just seeing ww2 images in black and white!

Thats crazy. Wow.

This thread should be made a Sticky.


It makes uis feel like we could pop back in time.

Amazing those Great Kodakchrome films

wow, great photos!

..imagine having that window view when your making your scones

interesting!

It's nice the way they got to fight in colour and in black and white.

So, so weird seeing pictures like this. It sounds stupid, but it's hard to envisage what things were like when all you have is black and white photos.

These look like they were taken yesterday. Surreal :o

They so look like these are photos from a behind the scenes movie video. It does make a difference in colour, you almost think that everything in the past was black and white in the eyes of the people.

Incredible photos

These are incredible :)
