Would you like to show us what you looked like before you were injured?

Here's a 'very ancient' photo of me when I was at the RAF College. I look a bit of a James Dean type; a rebel without a cause... :specool:

That's a lovely photograph Scribbler, very handsome!

I haven't been injured very long but here are some photos anyway!

Wow Trinity!

A juggling surfboarding beauty; such hidden talents... Can you still Juggle and do you fancy a skiing trip with "Back Up"?

I really admire your positive attitude, especially as you've only been injured a short while.

It always makes me feel good each time I see you online..

Nice photos; thanks

Mike

Here's some funny pictures

One is me before a concert I was going to, and the second is from a friends' "heroin" project, trying to depict people as their worst for a art school project.

Nice photos Hikkakara, thanks for adding them.

This is the only photo I've found of me in uniform; I'm on the far left. The photo is like me, realy ancient and taken in 1958....

I found these two of me about a year prior to my accident. The horse I'm riding wasn't the one who broke my neck.

Wow Ches, what a stunner then and now. Was that last photo from, "When Harry Met Sally"? ... Oh! Oh!.. Yes! Yes! Yes!.... :mfrlol:

Its so nice to see everyone posting their "Before" photos, I was concerned that some people might feel awkward about it.

I'm sure you can still wear leather Sean...

A very romantic pic Kdenon, as was your wedding photo; thanks to everyone for sharing..

Does this pic of me count?.... It will give some of you a laugh...... :mfromg:

Am I cute or am I cute?..... :)

I can but I'm more than certain I wouldn't fill it half as well as I used to, what with no glutes and chicken legs. :mfrlol:

Wow! Wow!…. Am I looking on the correct site?… It looks more like, “Hot Babe’s & Guys dot Com!... :mfromg:

None of you seem to have changed much, especially Kwag_myers.... :P

I didn’t take much notice of your young sister Ches; all I saw were your nice red shoes… Honest!.... :)

Was there a handsome guy on that photo kdenon01?.. I just saw a pretty young girl, but at my age my eye sights bad… He’s certainly got some great biceps.

I bet your legs still look good City Girl, a lot better than mine, although my PA’s are all jealous of my legs as they’re completely hair free.

Are we ever going to see a photo of you perfectly still Trinity or did you always travel at the speed of light?

I don’t have many photos prior to my injury; other than as a child. Most of my Air Force pics were lost in transit when I was medically discharged. I had some great pics in my flying gear looking like Top Gun. Eat your heart out Tom Cruise.
