Just click on that thing that looks like a dark grey rectangle (sheet of paper) with a folded edge above the text box; past the URL of the image in if it lives somewhere in cyber-reality... or you have the option of uploading one from the little box that'll pop open.
Something like this might happen if you try it successfully...

PS -- this is a Nimrod ;- )

You'll note that the photo above does show a stereo pair ;-)
Eventually, of course, they'll pupate...

As to the Orion -- my first real job was in the Silicon Valley back in the late 1980s... in those days Moffett Field was still home to hoards of Orions; I used to enjoy watchin' (and listenin') to 'em landing & taking off.
The Nimrod, of course, was the Brits equivalent, based on the DeHavilland Comet airframe.
photo from http://www.airliners.net These look to be three of the ill-fated Comet I models. The frame around the ill-chosen rectangular window frames (and elsewhere, I suppose) was prone to stress cracks from pressurization/depressurization. After some time in service, the original Comets started droppin' from the skies :- (
