RAF Northolt Nightshoot VIII held on the 20th of January 2011

Another visit to one of RAF Northolt's regular Nightshoots, this was number 8 in the series

A thoroughly enjoyable few hours taking photographs of Military Aircraft and Helicopters under floodlight.

Despite a few last minute cancellations there was a good selection of aircraft present,

particularly of note was the Martin Baker Gloster Meteor T.7 (Mod) WA638 looking beautiful all in black

and an Embraer 121 Xingu 095/YM from the French Air Force which was surprisingly photogenic.

Also present were a number of executive jets together with RAF Northolt, 32 (TR) Squadron based aircraft,

About half way through the event there was also a welcome appearance by an RAF Northolt based Agusta A-109

with rotors running, great for nighttime photography.
