After a gap of a couple of years The Shuttleworth Collection's night shoot returned, held on 13th October. It had been hoped the Sopwith Camel would take part but the wind meant it had to be replaced by the Chipmunk, which lined up with the Lysander and Spitfire:

Great set of shots, but I really love the very evocative shots of the Lysander. You can really imagined it's landed in a field in occupied France somewhere.

Very very good set of photos there and I have to agree the Lysander is just fantastic, well done,
