March 5, 2015
|
Phillip Dawe gathered a varied collection of aircraft for the first night photo-shoot of 2015 and the 18th fund raiser he has worked on at RAF Northolt. With some aircraft not seen before at this event there was the last chance to capture the 32(TR) HS-125 which is immently about to be retired from RAF service.
I have said everything I can about these night-shoots including in an article published in Aviation News which you can see here article written for Aviation News published in 2012.
The aircraft involved were; Hawk T.1, Conair Turbo Firecat S-2F-T Turbo Tracker, Cessna 182Q, Pilatus PC-9M and Westland Sea King HAR.5. 32(TR) Squadron also provided a Hawker Siddeley Hs125 CC.3 and one of their BAE 146 CC.2's outside and another inside a hangar. |
