Northolt Night Shoot XXX: 07Mar24
My take on a blustery and wind chill cold evening in west London which made hand holding a bit of a challenge. Many thanks to Phil and the volunteers, RAF Northolt service and civilian personnel and the visiting aircrews without whom there wouldn’t be much to night shoot. In the order taken. https:/...

RAF Northolt Night Shoot XXIX: 05Oct23
My 28th Northolt Night Shoot, I only missed the one in March because of a train strike. Liked the new horseshoe layout as there appeared to be more room and everybody seemed to be spread out more. There were more angles to photograph than when they were parked in a straight line, and it wasn’t quite...

Re: Hornby: A Model World
There was a piece on BBC Breakfast earlier in the week about a revival of scale model making, due to pandemic and how it was helping people with mental health issues, and they were at the Airfix factory showing off the new 1/24th scale Spitfire.

I was expecting thousands of screaming school kids running around but the silence was deafening. Probably not me in the morning as my entry ticket was for 2.30pm.
