Hi Keith

You are correct of course, when looking at the photos it is very obvious, they were taken at different times using a varied range of cameras. However there are 38 photos in the batch sent and they are still interesting just the same regardless of the "Claims" all now part of history.

Cheers

Interesting thread.
Some of you are alluding to some sort of scam. How is this done? I've never heard of such before.
Jo and keith, did you receive these via email or something?

Hi Ryan

An old Army buddy sent the photos to me via email because he knows I am into that sort of thing. Anyway here are some more photos to share.

Cheers

Ryan, not so much as a scam, as mis-information.
Periodically get e-mails with these and other photos, but for some reason they seem to be linked with stories of just discovered and undeveloped film, or used to back up "Stories" of derring do or some such.
Personally, I find them interesting enough as they stand, after all a picture is worth a thousand words...
Did get some terrific colour ones taken in Germany a while back, about time they did the rounds again.

Ahh, no worries. I thought it may have been an email requesting money for photos or something.
