by Phil Dawe. This was number 33 in the long running series.
RAF Northolt Nightshoot XXXIII had an interesting lineup of aircraft attending but was mainly focused on executive jets from the RAF & French L’Armée de l’air et de l’espace.
RAF Northolt provided both of its 32 Squadron Dassault Envoy IV CC1's, these having the regisrations G-ZABH & G-ZAHS & from the French Air Force a totally unmarked
Dassault Falcon 900EX save for a serial of F-RAFR on the tail, this aircraft coming from Escadron de Transport 60 (ET 60) based at BA107 Villacoublay in France.
The RAF also provided two Embraer Phenom T.1's from 45 Squadron based at RAF Cranwell, serialled ZM334 & ZM335,
these aircraft are used by the RAF for training aircrew on multi-engined types.
.
Cancellations from the advertised list of participants for this event, due to the approaching bad weather, were Fighter Aviation Engineering’s Lockheed 12A Electra, G-AFTL and the
Irish Air Corp's Pilatus PC-12NG Spectre, 280.
The list of participating aircraft at RAF Northolt Nightshoot XXXIII, apart from those aircraft already mentioned, also included...
From the Royal Canadian Air Force a Lockheed CC-130J Super Hercules from 436 Squadron, serial 130606, which is currently based at Prestwick.
The London Air Ambulance Charity provided both of their new Airbus H135's, these Helicopters were unusually positioned next to each other, out on the pan,
they've normally been kept in the hangar during previous Nightshoots. These were serialled G-LAAA & G-LAAB.
Also made available for this Nightshoot was Falcon 2000EX belonging to NetJets & serialled G-NJAF.
The date for RAF Northolt Nightshoot XXXIV is yet to be confirmed.
