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 !

Sweet! :wub:

But are there any proper full breed fighters there?

Ian the Kiwi Herder

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

unlikly at Northolt, seeing as it is almost compleatly surrounded by houses these days. the old noise rules kind of come into play
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

That Hawk looks truly magnificent. Kudos to the RAF for carrying out the repaint!  :thumbsup: Now, where's a two-blade Mk.I Spit in matching colours?  :wub:
