Northolt Photocall Sunday 10th June 2007

So the Polish military send over a couple of planes for a photocall?:confused:

Yes indeed they did! I spoke to one of the pilots who said he had great difficultly in getting permission, as they have strike a strict flying hours budget. However, the Poles have a very strong link with RAF Northolt since WW2. There is a Polish War Memorial just outside the base, which they visit each time, so it was much easier than other air forces! Well done to them and Phil, who arranged it!

If they can do it, it makes you wonder at the feeble excuses some air forces come up with for not attending RIAT!

Thanks for posting these great shots. I am very local to Northolt – is this photocall day for service personel and/or press only, or do tax-payers get to go as well?:D

Thanks for the comments on the pictures. The Lynx is operated by the Empire Test Pilots School (ETPS) at Boscombe Down.

The Meteor is operated by Martin Baker from Chalgrove for the testing of ejector seats. Note the absent rear canopy for testing seats.

Hope this helps.

Fantastic shots there, Got some questions to ask you 😀 Whats with the Blue White Red Lynx and the who owns the Meteor.
