Northolt 2008 (Sunday 8th June)

Most of my stuff is on 35mm so it wont be seen till much later in the week, but to give you a wee smile for a Sunday evening, here's a few I took (this afternoon) with Mrs. Hunter-Gatherers' wee digi cam.

Irish Air Corps PC9 was simply immaculate.....

....As was the EC145 (?)

This civil reg Strikemaster was superb

Canada was there too

and Germany.... even if a wee bit over-exposed

and Poland of course

and France

But the REAL star IMHO, was this......

Thanks for looking.

Great shots, Ian ! Love all the choppers, especially that irish bird. And the Irish trainer....pretty rare sights for me !

Great pic of the Challenger as well. I wonder who was in it ?

Have to agree with you on that hawk.....bloody lovely !

Wow, some really eclectic visitors there! And wasn't the weather gorgeous yesterday?

Sweet!

But are there any proper full breed fighters there?

Ian the Kiwi Herder · June 09, 2008, 05:59:00 AM

Nahhh, no Spitfires, Hurricanes, P-40's etc...... that was what you meant, wasn't it

unlikly at Northolt, seeing as it is almost compleatly surrounded by houses these days. the old noise rules kind of come into play

How long has the Albatros been a fighter?

That Hawk looks truly magnificent. Kudos to the RAF for carrying out the repaint!

Now, where's a two-blade Mk.I Spit in matching colours?

Zac...... the L-39 is the Albatros, the L-29 is the Delfin......
