WELCOME
TO THE
JANVISION
GALLERY
Welcome to the new revised Janvision Gallery. My name is Pete Biggadike and I live in Norfolk. I retired from the Royal Air Force in 1993 after almost 40 years of service. My service history is probably no different from that of many servicemen in the post WW2 era, however having been a keen amateur photographer since the early 1950's I managed to document a great deal of it with photographs which I have decided to share. In an attempt to try to provide a little more interest in this long running site I have written more text to include not only personal information but general service stories and anecdotes.
The site is under continuing development. In this more comprehensive revision, I have adusted the layout to cater for the modern screen sizes. Hopefully this will prevent bunching of the images to the left hand side of the screen. should you encounter any problems I suggest you may need to adjust your screen resolution. People using Windows XP and for example a 19 inch monitor, might like to select custom magnification and set 140 %. I have also changed some colours to make the text easier to read and to give the site a fresher look.

I have in the past been taken to task because of some minor inaccurencies on my site. I must emphasise that the site is not intended to be a source of reference or a historical record and should not be used as such!  I welcome emails correcting any mistakes if they are written in a friendly manner. Any other approach will not receive a reply!
I continue to receive requests for copies of my photographs. For various reasons I regret I will not supply copies to either private individuals or publishers. To prevent embarrassment to all concerned please don't ask.

                                                                    Thank you.
