North Weald's Facebook page said that the Gnats were busy this weekend, and with the weather this good, a visit seemed like a fun idea.

Ended the day riding around with TJJ in 'Ops 1', staking out a spot at the top end of the runway far from the public areas of the airfield waiting for some Jet Provosts to come in from Coventry.

A tactical re-position to get on the sunny side paid dividends with the arrival of the JP5...

Big thank you to Trevor for these shots. :smile:

The charity shop in Harlow came up trumps with a couple of book bargains too, including one from UKAR's own Lindsay 'MadDan' Peacock.

Lovely shots of the old Finningley JP, great light on those.
