Night Shoot - Add Aircraft and Sky in the Right Proportions ** More ingredients added **

Post by stevejb » Thu Oct 28, 2021 9:06 pm

Threshold Aero finally held their previously cancelled and rescheduled night shoot at RAF Cosford. Featured were six camouflaged Jaguars in the revetment area, a Harrier GR3, Sea Harrier FRS2, Hawk TMk1, Jet Provost and the star, Tornado GR1 ZA320. It's positioning took advantage of a stunning night sky that got better as the evening progressed.

Just the one for now of the Tornado, which carries late 1980's vintage 17 Sqn markings on the port side (and 27 on the starboard). Happy with how it turned out, almost enough on its own to justify the trip. I'll get time to look at the rest over the weekend and post if anyone is interested.

Thanks to Threshold and RAF Cosford staff for a great evening

Steve

Glad you got the best side - (well I would say that, having had nearly 6yrs on 17(F) Sqn at Bruggen!) Lovely, sharp image too. Hurrah for all the Blackhands.
