Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 This website has tons of SANKE cards - worth to post it again. I use them for making my own pilot photos - I only have to stick my own face on top. http://www.sanke-cards.com/page14.htm . Quote
Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 SANKE was a photographer studio in Berlin (AFAIK), so I guess they are all German flyers. But I have never yet seen through all the other photos on this site. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Hi olham..sorry, I deleted my post..as it was a really dumb question!...lol Quote
+elephant Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 I have it bookmarked but, thanks anyway! Another site I use to collect pictures from, of not so known German pilots, is Flieger Album: http://www.flieger-album.de/blog/index.php Quote
HumanDrone Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 What a collection! Thank you, mein Freund! Quote
Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, "Flieger-Album" is a great site too. Their pics are damn small, but good enough for OFF pilot photos. Quote
HumanDrone Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 And I finally found your source, I think. Is it not Rumey, 665? Quote
Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Hihihi - indeed, HumanDrone, it is Rumey. I like Jasta 5, and especially Rumey's officer's coat. Quote
HumanDrone Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Oh it's you alright! Probably one of the most convincing 'shops I've seen in a while. The coat and collar with the PLM is perfect, dashing and masculine, while the photo you used with the off-camera glance is suggestive of a more thoughtful and introspective man, rather than a brash, swashbuckling type. Very well done! Quote
Olham Posted July 12, 2012 Author Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you, HumanDrone. Yes, that's me - or better: that used to be me around the age of 30. I only found 5 or 6 photos of me which show me in a believeable WW1 pilot age. Quote
UK_Widowmaker Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Thank you, HumanDrone. Yes, that's me - or better: that used to be me around the age of 30. I only found 5 or 6 photos of me which show me in a believeable WW1 pilot age. The fact I havent...has prevented me from doing the same! (I look more like Worzel Gummidge!) (not really me btw) Quote
Olham Posted July 13, 2012 Author Posted July 13, 2012 Hey, hey, there, there... I have seen a photo of you, and it wasn't the right age, but you did look quite normal to me. Looked it, I say. Maybe you aren't, though. On the photo you were angling from your balcony... Quote
