'Some people are never happy' & sadly that is invariably me! I cannot understand in a million years why a specialist photography event is staged correctly in front of the setting-sun....then 'allow' the background to be rammed with cars, barriers & other tat? (even barriers laid-down)
Either the aircraft are in the wrong place or the parking arrangements need a bit of forethought? I wouldn't expect to spend days cloning-out stuff shat shouldn't be there in a set-up? Cotswold isn't exactly an International Hub when it comes to after-dark movements?
A very good set of shots by Skunk, but #7 is the best for me!

The nightshoot was the night between two days of the Cotswold Revival event, so the barriers needed to be taken down and put back up. Cars in the car park...well, I guess all the traders could have been kicked off site?

As per the above, not much can be done as part of a larger event - short of rushing around in the 30 minutes between the end of the day event and the start of the nightshoot moving barriers and aircraft or cars ( ) and then spending many man hours at midnight and later rebuilding an event site for the next day.
