Thomas Castle Nightshoot II

[lynothehammer]

First nightshoot at Sywell with Threshold.aero and a cracking evening was had with the perfect send off for the Blades. But the star of the show was the Lockheed 12A Electra Jnr, what a beautiful aircraft.

Thanks for sharing these, that Lockheed does look stunning. It will be nice to see it out and about this year.

Must agree with Mustang, the Lockheed does look superb in the dark, thanks for the post.

Great looking images but thought I had strayed onto UKAR! I'm struggling to see a valid military connection here?

To helo ease your struggles, The Blades plots are/were all ex RAF. The Tiger Moth is also ex RAF.

Yes it's tenuous and the content probably falls foul of the rules. There's always the report button if anyone feels overly concerned.
