According to NOTAMS and BBMF site.
This evening due between 1725 and 1750 local.
Not sure which aircraft.

So to test,


Taken at a Northolt Nightshoot.
With regard to all the comments about compression etc uploading here is new to me so how does this measure up?

To post photos on here do you have to use PB or flickr or can it be any such site.
Can anybody recommend any others?
From what I read here I'm not sure I want to use either.

I attended my first Northolt Nightshoot last year and was reasonably pleased with my results. Although I am not a novice photographer it was the first such event for me and I got on ok. There will be plenty of people there and I would be surprised if no-one would offer you advice if you asked, I kno...

Meant to say on Thursday on my way home from work I saw a Hurricane being lifted from a lorry by the new main gate site. I've heard it may have come from Biggin Hill ? Although I seem to remember also hearing or reading somewhere that there was to be a dedication ceremony for one of the gate guards ...

in a word....no The lady on the gate was very nice but unless i was a member or a guest of same i could not go in. Bit of a shame as it was my first time there and I had driven from the War Memorial specifically. I drove down the road a bit and found somewhere to stand and watch and spent a pleasant...

Also got some shots but I expect Leader12s will be better. I may post them later once I've figured out how to
Caught up with them at White Waltham later so got some nice ones there....very busy there today and the Vampire turned up....which was nice

Hi all,

Spitfire and Hurricane doing circuits at Northolt just now....
Is that for the Polish War Memorial Ceremony....thought that was at 12?

Hi,

Hi Guys, Thanks for your replies....those images are really good Agg, help to reassure me about my choice of lens when I upgrade. If I could ask another question, I tend to use shutter priority when photographing aircraft, does this jeopardise the 'sweet spot' when it comes to aperture, what sort of...

Hello all, I have promised myself an upgrade in the next few months from my old 350d and associated lenses. I have narrowed the choice down to the 50d or 550d, final decision yet to be taken especially as the 60d is now about! Unfortunately my trusty sigma 70-300 has finally given up so I am upgradi...

Spitfire and Hurricane arrived at Northolt at about 18:15 and flew a great display dispite low cloud. Thoroughly enjoyed by all assembled (50 or 60 + if not more) who had waited patiently. Thankyou BBMF Shame they couldn't stop as planned but maybe with the changes we may see them again tomorrow????

The whole flypast????

What grapevine?

Should only be 3 aircraft today - 2 Spitfires (P7350 and AB910) and a Hurricane (LF363) - as the Vacher one has gone tech. As a fellow Ruisliper who is at work do you know which end they are using? From here at work at LHR it sounds like we are using 27R which would imply 25 at NHT? From the BBMF s...

Definately interested thankyou.

Hope you can organise something.

Should I wait for you to contact me? Not sure how it works as this is the first time.

Very true!
I know there's a family day on Saturday so maybe
for that.
Thanks for the info:)

Forgive me if I'm wrong but I think you may be confused with the sunset display every Battle of Britain day which is the 15th September.
Hope this helps,
Rgds,
Jeff.

Hello all. I have heard that after the flypast passes over Northolt on Saturday that the Spitfire and Hurricane that have been there this week will be doing a display. Can anyone confirm or deny this please? Also echoing an earlier post does anyone know when the MB Meteor will be arriving at Northol...
