I know I have missed April, but when is the next night shoot at Northolt, and how can I get to attend it?
Thanks,
Mick

Re: Night Shoot dates?
Could be after the clocks change from BST? Although there is a strong rumour that future 'Night shoots' will be in the daytime due to Health & Safety concerns. (just like they used to be! ) Furthermore all attendees must now wear steel toe-cap boots due to the very real risk of dropping your camera-gear on your feet. Hi-viz vests as usual, but now also supplemented by hard-hats fitted with high intensity strobes. As there aint no engine-runs, Ear-defenders are not encouraged, so that you can hear when you've 'bombed' someone's shot & understand when it really, really is chucking-out time. Platforms, air-stairs & other elevated viewing are no longer permitted due to risk of falling on service personnel (further reducing operational capability) or causing FOD issues with thousands of pieces of camera smashed everywhere. Enhanced security vetting means that if you've had a parking ticket, don't even bother to apply! Naturally any demonstration of continued interest will be robustly discouraged by the introduction of 'proper' restrictions from them who's in charge!
Despite the best efforts of the organising team, the restrictions on aircraft availability & opportunities are coming up waaaay short these days. In essence, you may have missed the best of times to attend this event!

Re: Night Shoot dates?
Health & Safety gone MAD ,Or maybe a good wind up !.
Re: Night Shoot dates?
Hopefully a wind-up, but I am going to a trip round a recycling facility and hard-hats, steel toe-cap boots and of course hi-vis vests are being supplied (I had to give my shoe size!)
Anyone got any real dates/times/how to get access?
