11. RAF Northolt Annual Reception, 8 September

The Company has had an affiliation for many years with the Aeronautic Information and Documents Unit (AIDU) of the RAF at Northolt. At the invitation of the Station Commander, Group Captain Carver, Sandra and I attended a reception at the Officers’ Mess. We were welcomed by Wing Commander Paul Kendall, Officer Commanding AIDU and members of his team. During the evening we watched a flying display by a Spitfire followed by the Evening Hymn and the Last Post played by the RAF Band. A very enjoyable evening chatting with RAF personnel and several Masters and their Consorts from other Livery Companies. The photograph shows us with Group Captain Carver.
