Wonderful images, so jealous. I haven't been out to do a shoot like that since the late 1970's.

Nice set of pictures, a place I haven't been to yet. Noticed on the wall behind 'White 14' are pieces of 'Black 6' from its unfortunate demise at Duxford.

Great photos. I've got one of G-AREA when it visited Northolt in 1978, but in a different colour scheme.

I'll kick this off with one from the archives. CAAC Viscount B-406 at Kai Tak in 1976.

Interesting to see someone doing Northolt.

Pete.

When I was serving there in the RAF, 1977-8, there was a 'spotters enclosure' accessed from West End Road. I had clearance to photograph the aircraft on the south side pan where I worked in VAS - as long as the pilot said ok

Think I can do 8 of those

Great shots Andy. In the photo of the Jetstream, Dominie and Devon (almost certainly 207 Squadron) there is of course a Pembroke (60 Squadron) and a HS748 (207 squadron)

Excuse my ignorance, call it old age or whatever but rule 13 seems to say that if I take a photo which I think will make a suitable entry for POTM I have to post it somewhere before I can use it as an entry. Question is where - a new thread in Current Civilian or am I missing something. I don't get ...

Nice photos. I've only been there once back in 2016 when I had a tour airside including the Boultbee (now Spitfires.com) hangar. I'd love to go back but it's 3 hour drive there - and the trip back took 5 hours!
