Hi All

What was going on at Northalt yesterday? My folks just told me I missed an ace display with a spitfire, and fastjets, which my dad rekons were american, but he can't tell is @rse from his elbow when it comes to aircraft so I take that with a pinch of salt...

I believe it's Northolt familes day today, IIRC, there was due to be a Harrier, a couple of Tonka's and BBMF participation of some degree amongst other's, don't think there was any US participation though.

Hello All,

Yesterday it was the Northolt family's day. Today it is the Northolt Photocall which will see around 400 members of the public come on to camp and photograph the aircraft. At the moment we have raised around £5000 for the station charities fund but hope to increase that today with other sales.

Philip Dawe, who has organised most of it, has brought in some fantastic aircraft from all over Europe.

We did try to get an American Navy Hornet from Lossiemouth, but unfortunately we were a bit late with our request. Anyway, hope everyone that attends has a good day and is generous with their donations! :ok:
