12. Royal Air Force Northolt Reception

The Annual Reception this year was held on 4 September and was attended by Georgina, and Mike and Sandra Williamson. We were looked after very well by our friends at the No 1 Aeronautical Information Documents Unit (No1 AIDU). We have had a link with 1 AIDU since 1999 and have been regular visitors to this unique unit which produces print and virtual guides for the airlines and airports the world over.

The evening concluded with a ceremonial lowering of the Royal Air Force Ensign just after routine working times. This was done by station duty staff supported by elements of the Central Band of the RAF. The planned flypast was cancelled because of Prime Ministerial duties in Portugal.
Notwithstanding this, the evening was a great success.
