K25 slide scan. Aircraft with a well documented history. Night time tripod photography with a daylight Kodachchrome being tricky enough, vibrations from four Tynes usually would render most of the images useless. An ideal moment would be with all four engines running smoothly in idle just before brake away thrust was applied. Exposure time was 3 to 9 seconds, depending on aperture and apron lighting intensity.
