Norwegian Wings Over North Weald

 

The event marks the 70th anniversary of the arrival of the two Norwegian Spitfire Squadrons at the Airfield in 1942.

As in 2007 & 2009, the Royal Norwegian Air Force sent over two F-16AM Fighting Falcons, 669 & 686, from 331 and 332 Squadrons, which flew in from their base at Bodø, north of the Arctic Circle. F-16 686 sported a special paint scheme to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. Along with these and a little later, a Lockheed C-130J Hercules, 5629 "Nanna", flew in the veterans and a working party to help complete the 'Little Norway' revetment project, which was formally opened during the event.

Warbirds of Norway also attended with De Havilland Vampires, T55 LN-DHZ PX-M and DH-100 SE-DXS PX-K and their newly acquired

Canadair CT-133 Silver Star, 599, 133599. The Norwegians arrived on Friday and departed mid afternoon on Sunday. The Hercules dropped off its passengers and also departed on the Friday, returning again on the Sunday.
