  1. Good pic...Where did you find this? It's from a shoot that was done on Robert's farm in Wales..I've seen a few, are there any others?

    Only the obvious and right now cant seem to find my other ones :ahhh:

  2. Wasn't that fab? I scanned it out of that Good Times, Bad Times book by Hullett and Prochnicky. Very good book, by the way. Lotsa cool photos I'd never seen before.

    Here's one from Bath 1970 that I found in an old Rave from 1974, I think:

    I know i was oh so very tired when I posted these pics...but would greatly appreciate anyone helping me with these pics.I'm guessing the first little one is circa '75 or '76?. Thanks again.

  4. Inquiry email to Dave Lewis of Tight But Loose dated February 19, 2011:

    Hello Dave,

    Yet another photo of you has surfaced on the official Led Zeppelin site. There's been some discussion of it in the forum. I wanted to inquire directly if you could confirm what button Robert is wearing and if you were the one who gave it to him? Also, if you could confirm the photo was taken at Heathrow, if the others were present and the date. Many thanks, Dave! Steve A. Jones

    This photo was taken at Heathrow Airport on the afternoon of Tuesday May 17th 1977. They were flying out for the second leg of the tour which resumed the next day in Birmingham Alabama. All of the band were there - Jimmy arrived wearing a white suit in a range rover with his driver Rick Hobbs. Bonzo, Robert and JPJ arrived in a limo. Richard Cole was also there.

    I had been at the Swan Song office earlier - I was asked to go out and buy copies of the Evening Standard which had an apology for a story they ran of a case of mistaken identity concerning someone who had claimed to be Robert Plant in Atlanta and had been arrested for drunkenness and carrying a knife - these were being sent to Peter Grant. Unity at Swan Song gave me various 10x 8 prints of the band to get signed.

    Robert was wearing a badge with a picture of the Queen on it (this was her Silver Jubilee year) and a silver pendant badge of a viking ship. He also wore the Queen badge at the Ivor Novello Awards a few days earlier. JPJ had as you can see wore a union jack zipper jacket and a Song Remains The Same t shirt.

    I got there around 4pm - there was a Welsh fan named Russ Rees also there with a couple of his friends - he took the pic. I was lucky enough to spend nearly two hours chatting as they waited for their flight call at 6pm. They signed various photos which I am holding. A very memorable day.

    If you can spread the TBL message on the forum I'd be most grateful - TBL 28 can be ordered via this link on the TBL site:

    Thanks so much Steve!bravo.gif

  5. Churchill is a village in the Wyre Forest District of Worcestershire. Heavy Plant Crossing is a standard UK construction safety roadsign.

    Perhaps we can pinpoint the location...it seems to be an intersection...and the identity of the gentlemen in the suit. Further research in progress.

    Thank you Steve for any info....being from the west coast of U.S. most of this is new to me.....
