North Weald 90th Anniversary Fly-In

My first posting with some shots taken at North Weald last Sunday. The event was well supported despite the grey weather.
Norwegian veterans stayed for the weekend to mark the anniversary and the F16s were from the squadrons formally based at NW during WWII (331 & 332 Sqns). Its a shame the RAF could not have given more support, the Tornado from 111 Sqn went sick and the 72Sqn Tucano was struck by lightning and returned to base. Congratulations to the Bulldog pilots who provided the missing man flypast. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Glad you enjoyed the Bulldog flypast. We had planned a finger four formation, but we had a genuine missing man who was weathered in at Leicester with a 700 feet cloudbase.

Some views from the cockpit. My friend in the right hand seat had never been formation flying so was enjoying the ride rather than taking pics. The air to airs were during our practice and show a loose right hand turn in vic and a rejoin in echelon left after a ‘missing man’ pull up.

Your pics aren’t showing up on my computer. Would like to see any of our flypast.
