North Weald Nightshoot held

on the 27th of March 2011

 

 

This was the first of what, hopefully, will be many of North Weald's Nightshoots.

A day and nighttime opportunity to photograph aircraft at North Weald Airfield in Essex.

I arrived on base at around 5.30PM, the weather was gorgeous and not too long after

arriving the sun began to set. This gave an excellent opportunity to get some

interesting photographs with the sun setting in the background.

This Nightshoot was organised in aid of the Gnat Display Team, two of

their three aircraft would take part in the event, these were XS104 (G-FRCE) and XS111 (G-TIMM).

Also participating were BAC Jet Provost T.Mk 5P G-VIVM and BAC Jet Provost Mk.52 104 (G-PROV)

both from Swords Aviation, Jet Provost T.3 XN637 (G-BKOU), BAC 167 Strikemaster Mk.84 (G-MXPH) 311,

De Havilland Vampire T.11 WZ507, Yakovlev Yak-52 03 (G-YAKR) and Yakovlev Yak-18T HA-YAF.

This was a fabulous event, I certainly hope they'll be many more.
