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.



Thanks for the note and last time was exceptionally well managed!

A reminder for those attending on Thursday:

New booking-in procedures will be in place. Please have your Booking Reference to hand so that we can find you quickly on the list.

If you have not booked in with Phil by now, YOU WILL NOT GAIN ACCESS to the event. If you're not on the list, you're not coming in.

Once you have parked in the car park, please go to the tent by the exit and book in for your personal pass and pay the accommodation surcharge. Those who have to pay on the night, should also pay their dues at this point.

You will not be allowed past the final checkpoint without a personal pass.

Finally, the event timings are hard (as they say). There is NO flexibility on the end time. Listen out for the broadcasts to warn you of the end being nigh...

Unfortunately, Brize have just informed us that there will be no A400 with us for this event. We will, of course, keep them on our October invitees list.

And now that I've got your attention, please be aware that there are roadworks on the West End Rd between the White House Gate and the Polish War Memorial junction on the A40. Please allow yourself a little extra time to negotiate this temporary hazard on your way to Northolt.

Thanks for the heads up RR...

Minus one A400, but we've gained a Herc since I last checked in here. So not all bad :up:

Any chance of an opportunity to get out on the sunny ramp side of the aircraft towards the start of the event?

As we could shoot these hand held, without tripods, I would think 15-20 minutes would suffice. Otherwise I can see it being a mad last half hour, when the floodlights finally offer some half decent shooting light.

The plan is to park the aircraft facing the other way to how we usually do it - ie facing south-east instead of south-west. If the BBC forecast is remotely accurate, this might just reap benefits towards the end of the evening.

It's also hoped that small groups will be escorted out across the apron to obtain some dirty side-on shots as well.

Ok Lee, thanks for the reply, might just be ok for the sun at the start of the evening.

Now, if they are facing that way, how to avoid having the horrible car park and illuminated buildings as the backdrop................. I know, there's no pleasing some people!!
