OMG, I just happened to see this on Pinterest!
Yep, lots of early Wings pics around especially now with the new Archive releases. In the one you posted, I saw another yesterday with Linda wearing that necklace that Paul has on.
Here's another early Wings.

Love that photo, Oobu! Must have been taken when Linda was expecting Stella. (1971)

This is the rest of the photo Oobu posted, caption said it was taken in Scotland in August, 1971.. one month before Stella was born.
Edited to add: Did Linda know how to play guitar, or was she just holding one for this photo? Its possible she knew a little guitar, like she knew keyboards. Paul could have taught her how to play

I'm thinking this one is from 1975/1976, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Possibly but I would have said July 1971. From 24th July to 6th August Wings were in London working on Wild LIfe. There was then a gap until 2nd October before work resumed on the album. So they could have gone back up to Scotland in August but I have a sneaky suspician the photo originated from when they were rehearsing in Scotland before the sessions began. I suspose a lot depends on whether Linda looks seven or eight months pregnant?

November 1974 I believe. Geoff Britton left the group in New Orleans during January 1975 and that photo is taken in studio 2 at Abbey Road, probably when they were working on Rock Show (original version), Letting Go, Love In Song or Medicine Jar

Thanks, Kestrel! Am so glad you have all the facts available! So many photos don't have captions that give dates or information. I think Stella was born by emergency caesarian, not sure if she was a month early. As you know, it was her birth that gave Paul the inspiration for the name Wings because he prayed all would go well for both Linda and the baby.

Thanks, Kestrel! As I said before, when photos don't have captions it's not easy to find info for when they were taken.

You are right about the c-section, but I don’t think she was premature.

Here's the pics of Linda wearing the same necklace that Paul had on from Nancy's post.

I love this pic, but could Paul have any more layers of clothing on?
-
^ Yes, he could. Maybe he has on a t shirt too!

I'd guess 5 layers... It must have been a cold day.
1. T-shirt
2. Men's white suit shirt
3. Vest
4. Suit jacket
5. Coat
Only his wife (or someone in the medical profession during an emergency situation) would have the right to know beyond that... (blush)
Wonder if that photo was taken when he was in Liverpool for the Cavern gig?

*raises hand* I still have my RN license!
I got the pic off his Twitter page which in turn was off his website and is of him backstage at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
Link is to all the photos.

What year was this? I know it was some charity concert - Live Aid? Freddie Mercury looks like he’s about to molest Paul! (and who could blame him?)

Yep, Live Aid 1985. I have it on DVD. Here's Do They Know It's Christmas.

Yes, you still have your RN license
Thanks for the link, makes sense the photo was taken before the Echo Arena concert in Liverpool. DOH.
This is another black and white photo, posted on Linda's official instagram today. (Won't attempt to guess how many layers Paul is wearing! ) Paul looks like he's having just as much fun as the kids are! Caption says "Paul and children. East Hampton, NY, 1975" Stella would have been 4, Mary 6, and Heather almost 13. Not sure if Heather is in the photo, or who the other children are (possibly Eastman cousins?) . Was curious as to what kind of sticks they're holding?
