This page contains a number of pictures which used to be on my old SAR World website, which are now back on display once again, but in most cases with far better quality than they were previously. I have been very busy re-scanning and enlarging many of these shots, and hopefully this will now show them off to far better advantage. Pictures other than ones taken by to me were taken by Costas Krallis, SV1XV from Athens, Greece, and I'm very grateful for the permission to use these. All images are subject to the usual copyright restrictions, and shouldn't be used without first gaining the permission of the copyright owner (please contact me if you require details). |
