London guard in 1969 (020)

The trip to London was primarily to see "Hair" -- somehow a friend and I had managed (I don't recall how) to get tickets to see it. Since London was far enough away from Darmstadt that the train and boat trip would have taken most of the four days, we flew. The flight itself was interesting, since it was the first time that I had flown by regular commercial airline service between major international cities. I've only a few pictures from that London trip that were worth restoring -- this is of guards on the way to Buckingham Palace for the "Changing of the Guards"

Pictures in this set (Military Years) are from when I was in the military, from 1967-1970. All photos were originally slides, a friend spent very many hours restoring those slides to being viewable. Best viewed as part of the Military Years set.
