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.

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.
