July 1991 Balgarski Voenno Vazdusny Sily

Post by Coldwater »

After many months of waiting the call by the Embassy of Bulgaria in Rome confirms to me the ok and then I go to visit some of the most 'important bases of VVS Bulgaria at that time was important and integral part of the Warsaw Pact and LSK with East Germany one of the most 'faithful allies of Moscow.
The bases visited were those of Dobroslavtzi, Krumovo, GrafIgniatievo Sadovo

I sincerely hope those vertical stripes are not on the original slide/film-roll... :?

Otherwise, some very interesting photos you again posted! Back in 1991 not too many foreign people were able to picture Bulgarian Air Force scenes like these... 8)

Wow! And again Coldwater strikes!
Although you have some way to go regarding Photoshop and cleaning up slide scans, I can see through the grains and the dust that those slides are pretty darn good. (I hope you don't mind my remark about cleaning up).
Again a for those days especially rare visit, mind the "zampolit" watching your every move. Thanks for sharing.

Hans.

No. Hans indeed thank you. I'm not very familiar with Phoposhop or similar. I have an old scanner instead a friend of mine one better but I can not always be by him!!!!
I am 61 years old and the modern things are very difficult for me! I'm still loving the slides and the digital age I do not like although of course I use it..I have hundreds of slides and scanned as I can and I'm sorry if are not perfect as I would like :( :( :cry:
Thank you anyway for appreciating my pictures

Hi, don't think I am a youngster, I am 52. So not that much difference 8)
It took me some time to master Photoshop, but it was worth it.

I hope to see much more from you!
