Yes it will depart during the evening back to Brize.

Sweet! I know it takes some doing, but any chance of getting a full front view with the blades spinning?

We always do

Phil...
The aircraft participation list for the original date had a XV Squadron Tornado down on it, which obviously changed when XV finished flying early.
Since the XV Squadron Disbandment Scheme aircraft, ZD741, arrived at Marham on Wednesday from Lossie, what are the chance of trying to get that for the sunset shoot ??

[Cider Monkey]

Nice additions Phil, especially the French contingent.

[benji1867]

Hi Phil, a nice a rare addition could be the Irish Air Corps Islander. I know the IAC are firm supporters of the event although under lights in October may be better.

You'll be doing well just to photograph that Defender, never mind get it to Northolt... I've been to Baldonnel loads of times and I've rarely photographed it!

It's also not an Air Corps machine, they do fly it, but it's actually owned by the Irish Police (Garda), so it's even rarer. The pilot is Air Corps, but the crew are police.

But in saying that, if you can get it to Northolt... I'm there!

The question has been asked in the past. They are camera shy.

[Wissam24]

Still holding on for those Croatian AT-802As...

[Ruislip Rustler]

For those who are planning to attend, Phil will be sending out the joining instructions sometime within the next 36 hours. If not tonight, then tomorrow at the latest.

For those still debating whether to come, there are a few places left to book.

[Graf Zeppelin]

There should be at least two surprise participants.

After Mondays barbaric event and yesterdays raising of the threat level, are we looking at another possible postponement?

Nothing has changed from our point of view.

Rest assured, as some of you witnessed last time out, if things do change at the last minute we'll do our darnedest to get in touch with you.

I was fortunate enough to get these 2 on trip to Dublin back in April... In all seriousness tho' if these shouldn't be on here will someone take them off.
I know there are photos of it elsewhere on the web but I'd hate to get anyone into trouble.....Cheers
