Northolt Nightshoot 25 March 2009

A night shoot at RAF Northolt as part of fundraising to restore the Battle of Britain Ops Room at this famous fighter station. A great array of a/c - Tornadoes from 41 Sqn, the newly revealed Hawk that will be the RAF's display a/c for this summer, two Alpha jets from France, a visit from a Chinook, as well. Local aircraft included an A109 helicopter. The rain tipped down and the wind seemed to be of hurricane force early in the evening, so most of the picture were taken with just the 80-400, since I don't like changing lenses more than I can help (a) in the rain and (b) on working airfields. As a result, quite a few of these are stitches of multiple overlapping images. A good evening nonetheless, and thanks to the local organizers for setting up such a great array of a/c.
