I was in Uxbridge around 3 but didnt hear anything, have seen it before, I remember seeing a Spit do a victory roll.
Do you know if there is a Spitfire based a Northolt.

I dont think Northolt has a spitfire. They flew circuits over Eastcote at very low level.
I must admit the noise was bloody well good.
I must admit, its makes a change to see them instead of the islander..

Thanks Teeej I'll keep my camera out at work might catch them over the next few days.
On Saturday I should get them over my house in greenford however I may only get the fast jets, tankers,etc the BBMF usually turn off before they reach me.
Will post pics if I get any.

Park in the car-park, walk up the footpath up the hill to the top; walk past the trig-point, across the (public) golf course heading east, and there's an opening through the trees. Just through there, and you have an excellent unobstructed view of London. With good eyesight you can see the flypast approaching well to the east of London.
After the flypast at BP they all head northwest ... directly towards you!
