Navy Wings

[Seamus]

Evening all,

 

Thought I'd share some images from two excellent events I've attended this week courtesy of Navy Wings. Firstly, on Thursday I attended their night shoot at Yeovilton, organised by Threshold.aero. My first time at this type of event, it was a great opportunity to get some different of images of some familiar and stunning machines. Great fun.

The second event was earlier today, a visit to the Wessex and Whirlwind Open Day. An interesting and informative day, the highlight of which was the chance to shoot the magnificent Whirlwind at close quarters.

Excellent pictures Sean, particularly the reflection shots (much better than my efforts).

 

I'll agree with your comments: the folk from Threshold, Navy Wings and even all the attendees all came together to help make it an excellent and very enjoyable evening.
