Norwegians at North Weald - a bit belated

As others have said, an excellent day for just £5, with perfect weather and the organisers were rewarded with a big crowd.

It was great to bump in to Dan B who I hadn't seen for some time and chat for a while during the afternoon.

Thanks for looking.

Andy :smile:

Nice shots. Glad you enjoyed the day. It didn't finish for us until Thursday when the Vampires departed for Leuchars.

There were sixty people on board when the Hercules arrived on Friday. The youngsters certainly worked hard on the 'Little Norway' revetment on Saturday - hence the white paint splashes from painting the inside of the shelter. i think she deserved a Coke!

Shot of the F-16 from the raised vantage point you told me about looks great. Nice to catch up with you again at this event.
